Chelsie & Robert Gilbert MISSISSIPPI Preparing for a Lifetime of Wellness
well into December. “It was a pretty trying month,” Chelsie says. Thankfully, there were some silver linings. Her support team fully supported her stepping back to care for her family, and her business partners continued to work hard and grow their businesses while she was away. And her daughter’s cast even led to an opportunity to share Melaleuca! “When my daughter got her cast off,” Chelsie says, “her skin was very dry. So I put Renew ® on her arm four times in 24 hours. A day later you couldn’t even tell which arm the cast had been on!” Then Chelsie saw a neighbor’s social media post asking for suggestions for a new skin lotion. “I replied, ‘Let me show you this photo I took of my daughter’s arm!’” Chelsie says. Experiences like these have shown the Gilberts how Melaleuca is helping them prepare for a lifetime of wellness. They feel like they’ve received so much, in fact, that they are finding ways to give back. “Giving gifts is my love language,” Chelsie says. “And this year we’ve been able to give so much back. We’re doing an angel tree to help other families enjoy the holidays. It’s so nice to have that freedom—and to teach our kids the principle of giving as well. “Our kids know we’re working together toward family goals. They know we’ve been blessed. We always emphasize to them that when we see blessings coming in, we give back to others. To whom much is given, much is required. We want them to see that lived out—not just said, but taught through what we do each day.” JC
“I never thought I’d change makeup brands,” Chelsie Gilbert laughs. “I had used the same brand forever, and I loved it. But now that I’ve discovered Sei Bella ,® I’ve completely replaced every single bit of my old makeup! I love Sei Bella —and all the health benefits it provides—even more.” In fact, she has converted her entire home to Melaleuca products! “I thought we were living pretty healthily before,” Chelsie says. “But every day I’m finding out another way that Melaleuca products are helping improve our health and wellness.” She knows that by choosing better products—and by working hard to build her Melaleuca business—she’s preparing her family for a lifetime of wellness. That’s because challenges always come. In November of 2020, Chelsie’s grandfather passed away, and Chelsie was devastated. “He was the biggest part of my life,” she says. To make it even tougher, her parents were both dealing with health concerns at the time, so a lot of the responsibility to plan the funeral fell on Chelsie’s shoulders. “I pretty much had to check out of everything else, including my Melaleuca business,” she says. “I needed to have that time for my family.” Then, on the night of the funeral, her two-year-old daughter broke her elbow in an accident. Her whole arm was in a cast
The Gilberts like to leave gift baskets on their porch for the delivery drivers—with travel-size tubes of Renew included, of course! “Some of them have rung the doorbell just to tell me how much they love the lotion,” Chelsie laughs.
