Gentle Foaming Cleanser

I loved these products!! My skin can be kind of sensitive, so I’m always a bit nervous when trying new skincare brands – but these were amazing. The cleanser and toner worked together perfectly, leaving my skin feeling soft and fresh – no tightness or yucky residue. And the Restorative Enzyme Peel is one of my new favorite products!! Made my skin super-duper soft after just one use – with that “glowiness” that a really good product gives you. I am definitely a fan now.

You’ve met Lucinda from Scentsy, Staci from Arbonne, Hillary from Cookie Lee, and Breanna from It Works! – now you can learn a little more about my brand new adventure into Direct Sales as an Educational Consultant for Discovery Toys!

Coming Soon!!

My new Direct Sales Directory will soon be a great place for you to check out a bunch of different options, and find the company that is right for you! All of the women joining are total pro’s, and can answer your questions, and get you started on your way to success! Plus, what a great way to support other women in business – Do your holiday shopping by ordering amazing products directly from these great ladies!

Why Direct Sales?

Direct Sales is SUCH a great option for busy moms – you have total flexibility on your hours, which is so important. Whether you want to earn a part-time income, or build a full-time career for yourself, the sky is the limit! And when you shop from a Direct Sales Rep, you are able to use your purchasing power to help other great women in business!

Learn more about how you can Teach, Play, and Inspire with Discovery Toys!

When I decided that I wanted to make the leap back into the exciting world of Direct Sales, I did a lot of research trying to find the right fit for me – I wanted something that I could really get excited about. I had never even heard of Discovery Toys until I randomly came across it online, but I was so excited when I found it!

I love their Mission:

Teach – Discovery Toys creates highly engaging learning toys, books, games and music that help parents and others teach learning skills through play.
Play – Discovery Toys ignites the imagination and interest of children as they learn and grow through play each day.
Inspire – Discovery Toys inspires learning! Our products not only inspire children to learn, they inspire parents and educators to teach and learn along with them.

And I love the feedback I got from others!

Before committing to joining Discovery Toys, I asked around about them – since I’d never heard of them, and had no experience with the product, I wanted to know more. So many people told me the exact same thing – these toys are great quality, and unlike the cheap toys at some stores, these toys LAST! Many moms told me that their favorite Discovery Toys made it through several rowdy toddlers, still in great shape.

I have a friend who worked at a local childcare center, and she said these were some of their most popular toys! They were popular with the kids because they were fun, popular with the parents because they were educational, and super popular with the staff because – unlike off brand similar products that they would try – these toys were durable enough to last for years. That was enough to sell ME on them!

They have a long history –

The company was founded by an early childhood educator in 1978 and continues to grow from our passion for helping children through play. Today, we are the leader in learning toys for early childhood education as the foremost direct marketing company of its kind.

Discovery Toys has been helping parents to “Teach. Play. Inspire.” with our high-quality educational toys, books, games and music for over three decades.

Ready to Learn More?

Visit my Discovery Toys website to learn more about the great product selection – and find some new favorites for YOUR family! You can order some great gifts directly from the site – or email me at meagan.paullin@yahoo.com with any questions at all! You can also follow me on Facebook for updates on sales, promotions, and great giveaways!
