DALLAS, June 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CVSL Inc.

Your Inspiration At Home was founded in 2011 in Australia.   Its product line includes more than 150 hand-crafted spice blends inspired by and created with spices from every continent.  The line includes award-winning gourmet seasonings; dip mixes; herb, nut and spice mixtures; oils and vinegars; meat rubs; salt dusts and chocolate powder blends.  Since the company's inception less than two years ago, revenue has reached several million dollars.  Its web site is www.yourinspirationathome.com.au.
