Basa Body: Three Gigantic Things



ONE - 
I believe in women helping women AND you know I love Basa’s awesome natural products.  AND the whole idea of helping women in Kenya pull themselves out of poverty simply by purchasing their stuff is a great concept.  

With Basa Body, I am proud to announce that there is another way we can help.  Basa has just unveiled their new Women2Women affiliate opportunity, designed to help women become self-reliant all around the world.    

Basa's Women2Women is your way to earn extra income while spreading the word about wonderful natural products, in turn helping create more jobs for rural women in Kenya.  Basa provides you with everything you need to advertise, promote and inform others.   Whenever someone clicks through to Basa from your site/email/FB etc. and a sale results, Basa’s software tracks it and you will be paid a generous monthly commission.  Do well for yourself while doing good. 

Some points that need to be made:

1.  Basa Body is notnotnot an MLM. Check www.basabody.com for a little history and how the company came to be.  Trade Not Aid, baby.
2.  While Basa is a for-profit company, %25 of that profit goes to humanitarian efforts in Africa.  Micro-loan projects, water projects, class room projects etc.





So, simple.  Check out the Women2Women affiliate program here, and let's do our bit to change the world.
 




TWO- 
Giveaway!!
How do you know if you want to invest your time and considerable talents in Basa Women2Women affiliate program?  Try every single one of their products, that's how.  I'm giving away a package of one of everything Basa makes.  Here's how to enter (up to three times!)


1. Leave a comment here, tell us which product you'd be most excited about trying.  OR, if you are already a fan, which Basa product you love the most. 
2. Head over to Basa's Facebook Page:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Basa/140694212642455 and either like them or give them a comment. 
3. Head over the Basa' web page and sign up for the newsletter: http://store.basabody.com/
 
Each of these equals one entry.  Enter once or thrice.  Your choice.

Entries end next Wednesday (11/24) midnight MDT.


November Motherlode:
I'll be giving away a Basa Body facial kit in this months Motherlode.  Bet your sweet pink boots it's awesome:



Specifics here.  Stay tuned for more info on the Motherlode.


THREE-
I talked a few weeks ago about my cousin Troy and Basa Body taking me to Africa.  Provided I'm not pregnant, of course.  I also hinted that one of you could go along with me.  The all-expense paid trip to Kenya will be closely tied to the affiliate program.  There will also be an exciting opportunity to get to Kenya in...other ways.  Details are coming, but let's just say that we'll be impressed with anyone who can use their skills - creative or otherwise - to help us spread the Basa Body word. 





 I am Courtney Kendrick and this was a lot of information and fun. Infofunative.

I really want to try the coconut oil lotion. From everything I've heard on the cjane blog it sounds amazing and I will definitely need that for this cold season ahead!

Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

I'd love to try the Basa Body Coconut Oil Lotion to see what it can do for my skin that still hasn't gotten over the shock of moving to the desert! :)

michelle :) said...

thank you for another opportunity to open my eyes, mind, and heart......

if i could try one, it would probably be the facial kit - the cleanse - as it seems i haven't ever found any products i am completely happy with....that would be a great find!

hooray for natural beauty!!!

Cher said...

I would love to try the coconut oil lotion in citrus- it sounds wonderful!

Either the Peppermint lip butter or the facial kit - hard to choose!!

Just SO said...

I love, love, LOVE the basa body stick. It helped both of my boys' eczema. And it made my feet wonderfully smooth. Love that.

Andrea Y. said...

The peppermint lip butter sounds amazing for my trombone playing lips. The winter does a number on them!

Jerilee E. said...

The Basa Body Stick has changed our lives :)! When we moved to Utah, my husbands face started to get super dry, flaky, red and painful. The Basa Body stick has taken all of that away!
It also works great on my kids dry hands- without the sting!
Ok, that sounded like a commercial.

Thanks for this opportunity!

I would love to try the coconut oil lotion. I would be interested to see how it works with people that are prone to eczema. Currently I only use Stevens cocoa butter lotion because it doesn't make my skin itch from perfumes. Always looking for a new product that works great but smells good (not a fan of the chocolate smell I get from Stevens).

Britley said...

I would like to try some unscented lotion. I have the driest skin in the world during the winter!

Basa said...

Hey troops, thanks for the wonderful comments, testimonials and excitement from all of you! FYI, I recommend the coconut oil body stick for stretch marks (or to help in preventing them!) and for eczema. It is a great product. I happen to use it as an after-shave stick. Your hubby's face will feel smooth as your baby's bottom (if that is a good thing...)

Just my two cents :)

Rachel said...

I love the body stick. Heaven on my dried cracked sad knuckles.

Lauren said...

I think the facial cleanse - it looks great!

Naomi Miles said...

I think I was Basa Body's first international order! I live in the UK and I have psoriasis and after ordering the 3 pack of the citrus scented lotion I am in heaven! It smells delicious and after only 5 days of using it I have noticed such a difference with my psoriasis and have stopped using my steroid cream! My skin is loving me! I would like to now try the body stick for some intense moisturising. Thanks for sharing such a marvellous product and with such benefits to women in Africa. How fab would it be to go to Kenya?!

tharker said...

I've been dying to try out their coconut oil lotion!!

Joanna Wilson said...

I would love to try the unscented coconut oil-love coconut oil-hate the smell

miriam said...

I would love to try... um... EVERYTHING! Choosing 1, I would say the facial kit (but then, I'm kinda cheating because it is 3 in 1).

The Lewis Family said...

Enter me please, three times :D I love their body stick, even was nice enough to give away one of the two I bought to try out the products just last night to a friend with dry hand issues. I am signed up for the newsletter and will facebook like them now.

Thank you for the op!

Another vote fro the coconut oil lotion. I've been reading a lot about the benefits of coconut oil, and I'd love to try it!

Handi Andi said...

I love the Basa Coconut Stick! Nothing has ever soothed and healed my babies bum as quickly as this has, and it smells a heck of lot better than any other bum cream I've ever used. lovely on chapped cheeks hands and excema spots too. I LOVE this stuff.

Jennifer J said...

Um...Do you really want me to pick just one? Sigh. If I have to pick just one, I would want the Perfect Stocking Stuffer Pack of Body Sticks, because that is an amazing deal!
PS - I also liked the fb page and signed up for the newsletter. I am committed, baby!

Andrea said...

I love the lotion in the citrus scent, but after reading all these comments, I'd really love to give the body stick a try! Wow! Plus I love what Basa Body is doing for the women of rural Kenya - spent a semester studying in rural Kenya and the people there are some of the kindest I've ever met - definitely one of my life's best experiences :D

I love Peppermint flavors, so I can't wait to try the Lip Butter. But WAIT! I just saw the Chocolate and the Cinnamon and Spice Soap gift packs and now I'm in a budgeting dilemma. I know it's for a good cause, but Darn you C Jane. Your infofuntativeness is going to get me into trouble. Signing up for the newsletter is going to cause me to have more temptation than I can handle.

I would love to try any of the products, especially because I tend to be allergic to many products in stores :-)

Anonymous said...

I LOOOVE the Basa Body Stick! I hate "touching" lotion (that greasy feeling, I know, I'm weird), and so this is the PERFECT solution for me! Moisturizing, without me having to touch it to apply! And it doesn't leave you greasy feeling afterwards either. Best product ever!

Please pick me, as I'd love to try their other products! Thanks!
