Ripple Stories

Nerium Independent Brand Partners are a Caring Couple in a Big Way! On Saturday, March 17, 2018, Nerium International Independent Brand Partners Dr. Bob Corcetti and his wife Kathy hosted an exciting Bowl for Kids’ Sake team event to fundraise for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Laurel Region near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their small but mighty Nerium Team of five showed up to “strike it big” along with other BBBS Bigs and Littles. In one afternoon, they raised $3,066. Bob and Kathy have been Bigs to Littles Sam and Lizzy for over one year now. The children lost their father, so their whole family has been in the process of healing. At the March BFKS event, Sam and Lizzy got into the team spirit of fundraising and even learned how to bowl better, thanks to tips from Dr. Bob who runs a local chiropractic clinic and often recommends Nerium International’s…

Speaking at Dillard University, actor Denzel Washington encouraged the graduating class with these words: “Don’t just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference”. Nerium International Brand Partners and corporate staff have also been encouraged to do the same thing since the company’s inception in 2011. Our company vision and philosophy is “Making People Better.” Here are some of the major highlights from 2017 as we live out that mission and our core values. More than $643,000 was raised for two of our Nerium Ripple Foundation philanthropic partners, Big Brothers Big Sisters (associated in U.S., Canada, Australia, and Austria) and World Vision International (associated in Mexico, Colombia, and South Korea). And, $65,275 of that total was raised during our annual Get Real conference in St. Louis, Missouri. The majority of funds were raised through monthly donations from our Independent Brand Partners. Many Brand Partners and their friends also participated in Big Brothers Big Sisters’…

Every new year, you may be filled with resolutions to become a better person. One resolution we at the Nerium Ripple Foundation can suggest is to become a “Big,” or mentor, for non-profit organization Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and January happens to be National Mentoring Month. In the past, we’ve featured Ripple Stories in which the people involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters mention a sense of fulfillment that comes from knowing that they’re making a difference in someone else’s life. Still, you may be on the fence about getting involved as a Big. We understand! It’s a big commitment. So, make sure you’re up for the task by considering these three things as you begin a special mentor relationship. Be authentically interested in building the relationship Kids can tell if you’re genuinely interested in them. Big Sister Jesse would offer rides to her Little Sister Jasmine so…

Debbi-Jo Horton, 56, is a Rhode Island-based international CPA, and a Nerium International Brand Partner since April 2013. She was introduced to Nerium by a friend and absolutely fell in love with Nerium AD Formula Night Cream, but at first, had zero interest in selling skincare on the side. Debbi-Jo had a very busy family life and a demanding full-time job, living three-and-a-half months out of the year in Costa Rica during tax season. “Nerium frankly didn’t fit into my life,” she said, “there weren’t enough hours in the day to devote to one more thing.” Still, she had retirement on the brain and thought a Nerium business might help her bridge that gap — and give her some peace of mind. Then, Debbi-Jo found herself facing a series of life-changing hurdles. Her partner, Justin was diagnosed with cancer, and after battling for several months sadly passed away in 2016. During…
