My husband bought me a nutrimill at Shar's Kitchen for Christmas. My mom also bought me a mill for Christmas as well. So, after comparing the mills I decided to return the nutrimill for a refund. Luckily my husband kept the receipt and we had all the original packaging. Upon bringing it back I was shocked to discover that there are NO REFUNDS at Shar's. Are you kidding me? Name one other store that does not refund your money when you return an un-used item in perfect condition with the receipt, in the original box, with all the original packaging, within a week of the purchase. I like to support local businesses, even if it means you spend a couple bucks more, but this will be my last purchase from Shar's Kitchen. By the way, I even let her know I would be writing a review about my experience but she went on about how her return policy has been in place for 34 years.... Well, maybe it is time to revise it. Very disappointing. ...read more

17 years ago this month BIG changes occurred in my life. I left my job to stay home with my children and work on my marriage. Soon after, I joined Gold Canyonand started my own business. That decision has made all the difference in my life: it offered me the freedom and flexibility to strengthen my family along with pursuing other passions. We’ve gained financially, had opportunities to travel the world and gained so many friends. When I began I had little experience with selling, business development or candles for that matter. The company had just begun, and there was little to no name recognition. The product, however, spoke for itself, and in that first year I saw an impressive income. Soon I began meeting other Gold Canyon representatives who were passionate, motivated, creative and successful. They became my Gold Canyon family — a network of dear friends who were a source of inspiration and encouragement for my business. I dared to believe in myself, and in return I have grown and accomplished more than I ever thought possible. Stop wondering whether or not “you can do it too”, and begin making it happen. With my help we can make your goals — whatever they may be — a reality. Today, let’s take a chance on YOU! ...read more
