TS-Life Review: Nutrition with CBD personal care
TS-Life launched in September 2018. The company operates in the personal care, nutritional supplement and weight loss MLM niches.
On its website TS-Life claims to “operate in 6 global markets across Europe and America”.
Heading up TS-Life are co-owners Caius Hale (CEO) and Jade Coyle (Corporate Response Manager).
Prior to launching TS-Life, Hale and Coyle were distributors at Vida Divina.
In the lead up to Ts-Life’s launch, Hale appears to have aired some grievances with Vida Divina:
Read on for a full review of TS-Life’s MLM opportunity.

Of course we are free from Animal Testing, GMO, Phthalates, PEG’s, as well as many other known nasty constituents.
TS-Life’s Compensation Plan

Residual commissions are paid out via a binary team, with a matching bonus on downline earnings.

Retail Commissions
TS-Life pays commissions on product sales to retail customers.
Retail commissions are paid out as 50% of generated sales volume (approx 75% of retail pricing).
Recruitment Commissions
TS-Life affiliates receive a 40% commission upon recruiting a new affiliate who signs up with a product pack.
A 10% matching bonus is paid on recruitment commissions earned by personally recruited affiliates.
Residual Commissions
TS-Life pays residual commissions via a binary compensation structure.
A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):
The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.
Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates. Note there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.
At the end of each month TS-Life tallies up new sales volume on both sides of the binary team.
Affiliates are paid 10% to 20% of sales volume generated on their weaker binary team side.
- Bright Stars and Directors receive a 10% residual commission rate
- 3K Directors receive an 11% residual commission rate
- 6K Executives receive a 12% residual commission rate
- 10K Diamonds receive a 13% residual commission rate
- 20K Double Diamonds receive a 14% residual commission rate
- 30K Triple Diamonds receive a 15% residual commission rate
- 60K Ruby Diamonds receive a 16% residual commission rate
- 100K Double Ruby Diamonds receive a 17% residual commission rate
- 200K Triple Ruby Diamonds receive an 18% residual commission rate
- 300K Royal Diamonds receive a 19% residual commission rate
- 600K Double Royal Diamonds receive a 20% residual commission rate
Once paid out on, volume is matched against the stronger binary team side and flushed.
Any leftover volume on the stronger binary team side carries over.
From the Director rank, a £60 GBP “Stretch Bonus” is paid monthly on top of residual commissions.
Note that to qualify for residual commissions, a TS-Life affiliate must be MLM commission qualified and recruit two affiliates who are both MLM commission qualified (see above).
Matching Bonus
TS-Life pays a Matching Bonus on residual commissions earned by downline affiliates.
The Matching Bonus is paid down two levels of recruitment (unilevel):
- 3K Directors receive a 30% match on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
- 6K Executives receive a 30% match on level 1 and 5% on level 2
- 10K Diamonds receive a 30% match on level 1 and 10% on level 2
- 20K Double Diamonds receive a 40% match on level 1 and 15% on level 2

- 2MIL Imperial Diamonds receive a 55% match on level 1 and 50% on level 2
Joining TS-Life
TS-Life affiliate membership costs are not disclosed on its website. This includes affiliate products packs referenced in TS-Life’s compensation plan.
In my own research I came across references to a distributor fee, however I was unable to find any official documentation.
Conclusion
Vida Divina was a Total Life Changes spinoff, founded by TLC’s former Master Distributor.
Both companies had recruitment focus problems over retail sales. Vida Divina also had a disturbing “products cured my cancer” foundation.
I wasn’t able to get to the bottom of why Caius Hale and Jade Coyle left Vida Divina.
As above though they were pretty high up. And from the tone of what I’ve seen it appears there is/was bad blood.
On the product side of things TS-Life’s nutrition and weight loss range has some overlap with Vida Divina. Vida Divina’s range however is much more aligned with TLC than TS-Life.
Neither TLC or Vida Divina have a CBD personal care range, so that’s a differentiating factor. Note however that CBD anything is pretty saturated in the MLM space, so do your research on price comparison.
Moving onto compensation, TS-Life is much more milder in its approach to recruitment over retail. Retail commissions are open to all but there are no retail volume requirements.
This means it’s possible for a TS-Life affiliate to sign up, self-purchase qualify and recruit others who do the same.
The good news is establishing whether your potential TS-Life upline is running their business this way is easy.
Every TS-Life affiliate has to generate 60 PV a month. Internal purchases are fine but you want to make sure your potential upline is selling at least 60 PV of products to retail customers every month.
Ask to see receipts if possible to confirm.
If 60 PV in retail sales isn’t being achieved, or there’s no retail at all, that affiliate is running their TS-Life business as a pyramid scheme.
For obvious reasons, that’s not sustainable in the long-term.
One last thing I want to touch on is that although TS-Life might be available in “six global markets”, they seem to be having some serious supply issues.
TS-Life is based out of Northern Ireland and so defaults to the UK and GBP. I don’t have a problem with this but wanted to run with USD seeing as that’s what most of our reviews are written with.
TS-Life has a US option on their storefront but when clicking through products from their website, everything comes up as:
This item is not available in the selected country.
Navigating the storefront whilst keeping USA as the location reveals some products are available, while others are low or out of stock.
Also it was only through this process (navigating the storefront myself) that I came across C-Raze. This product line doesn’t appear on TS-Life’s website for some reason.
No idea what’s going on there but it gives the impression TS-Life is limited in certain markets.
Update 18th April 2023 – TS-Life was shutdown without warning in early 2022. The company was rebooted as Reminiscience in October 2022.
Is “Northern Island” meant to be “Northern Ireland”?
Yah. I think my fingers are getting dyslexic as I get on in years :(.
He didn’t leave, he was shut down by Vida. It was public news on Vidas Facebook page.
He had a history of bullying, threatening and unethical building. Telling people to just buy their quota and concentrate on recruitment and openly did a live where he smuggled illegal Vida coffee into the UK.
If that’s the case this doesn’t bode well for TS-Life.
The products are made my actilabs. The same as the ex mermology mlm.
Think actilabs bank rolled the businesses too.
I agree 100% with shell above, a lot of incentives for downline to promote sales with a draw to win £500 or a holiday draw yet this never happened.
It turned out the products were not for resale in the uk only for personal use and we had massive problems with uk customs due to this which is why we had delivery and hidden costs as mentioned in caius status above about Vida Divina!
Caius was CEO for a year to 18 months and lied to make a lot of money then left and made TSLife (TS actually stands for Team Strong which was his Vida Divina group name).
I was corporate for this company, as were several others, you should give me a call. We will do an interview with you about our experience.
Call me personally and I’ll get everyone together, so you’ll have more data.
Or… you could just share what you want to share here in the comments?
Seems nothing changed from back then reading the comments above.
I thought they had until I left and the grief and abuse those who left with me got was shameful, lots not paid what they had earnt either and so many damaged from there but luckily found a good place with good people.
You really should speak to joy see why the USA left.
Or… Joy could just share what she wants to share here in the comments?
Seriously, what am I not getting here?
Its a shame i myself thought this company would be everything every other company wasnt ,but how wrong can one be, what i saw in their was disgusting, the way some leaders were treated.
i myself have come across a couple of disgusting leaders sending threats to me and i really was a nothing in that company.
i would say you are very honoured if joy and her people are willing to do an interview with you, you will be glad you did but be warned it will make more than your hair curl Oz.
jump at the chance its about time this was all exposed so many people have blocked me, because they think what i say is shit, but ive seen it all and heard it all so i know its not.
as i say its sad i thought a lot of Jade and Caius and never supported those from vida that tried to put him down.
i really thought he had this one sorted, i was proud to be a part of ts-life but felt enough was enough after 18 months.
so glad i found another company which really is my happy home, this is one cult business you should approach with caution speak to Joy and her team.
I was partnered with tslife when they launched and I can honestly say I’ve never in my networking experience seen such a bad set up!
The CEO mr currupt hale and his girlfriend jade pretend to be office staff answering emails … also lie over and over to everyone there currupt as anything …
I left that company after 10 month and the abuse I received after was shocking … he needs shutting down manipulating people …
It was worst decision I’ve made in my network… I’m actually embarrassed to say I was in that company but he needs closing down and something needs to be done.
I’ve was forced to sign a gagging order to stop me disclosing information that the products are, 100% supplied and doubled in price, by actilabs.
I was also forced into therapy that the owners were paying for after I bit the bullet and complained about how badly my former sponsors treated me and others in my downline.
Manipulation, lies and kidded their way into my life and masqueraded as my friends. It all went downhill from there and made me physically ill.
I went from the fire straight into the frying pan by joining mermology.
Both “ceos” were separated at birth with their antics and total disregard for anyone else’s wellbeing.
I have moved on and now with a great company who’s ceo actually acts like a ceo and doesn’t entertain or encourage unprofessional behaviour both on and off social media.
I highly recommend that you take joy holley up on her offer. It cannot be condensed into a comment its too much.
Its more of a matter for watchdog, trading standards or even the police. So much evidence from various people who know how deep the corruption and bullying runs!
If this were an actual company they’d have been closed down and investigated by now through a legal grievance procedure.
No one is safe while there’s wide boys at the helm. How can anyone blow the whistle when the main person is the one everyone should be looking towards.
The reps are the customers and paying a very healthy price for products you can buy at less than half price if you know where look.
This comment and some from above will be ridiculed and we will be laughed at by calling us jealous and failed networkers which is absolutely not the case.
I do hope more people speak out, you are allowed to say your story without fear of reprisal because it goes against the general brainwashing that anything remotely negative means you’re not a winner. Thats how they keep people quiet and encourage blocking etc.
Abuse, fear of isolation and manipulation are always on offer while people like me are stupid enough to think these people actually care….. they don’t.
TS Life is nothing more than a cult which recruits with promises of massive wealth but forgets that at the same time you will lose family and friends.
It destroyed my life when my wife got involved and I was replaced by a computer, phone and a tribe that continually boosted her ego.
Covid has been an absolute “godsend” to Mr. Hale providing the environment to increase recruitment within a group of very vulnerable people.
They bypass all moral advertising standards and actively encourage affiliates to make more and more make believe statements about their products.
Maybe its time for one of the big legitimate companies in the same market place to give TS Life a bloody nose. Well thats an idea!!!!!
This us in response to Malcolm Blackburn, so sorry to read this Malcolm a lot of peoples lives have been shattered by this company.
As you have probably read all the above maybe more people should get together a group for everybody affected and maybe something can be done about this cult.
They need taking down and fast before they destroy more lives as i say i personally know a lot of people affected by this company.
There is another group about another company that destroyed lives and has lots of members in it maybe you could do the same for this one and help save other people.
None of this surprises me about CH. I’ve been watching him since his Vida days.
His falling out was something to do with something he did to someone in Juice Plus that got him sacked by Vida (I can’t remember the details). I forget the details but he’s one shady, scamming bully.
Does anyone know if he is personally doing well out of his scam, not the pretend flashiness that all these people put out there but actual accounts?
There is a Belfast based company that he made JC director of which was in strike off as they hadn’t submitted returns.
There is also a Dublin company but I don’t have access to the Rep of Ireland Companies House equivalent, but I’d love to know what’s going on.
NI Trading Standards were rightly sniffing around so perhaps that’s why the company is now in Dublin. He needs stopping.
Everyone who has had a problem with this company needs to report it and CH to the Gardai National Economic Crime Bureau
thejournal.ie/cosmetics-gardai-pyramid-scheme-5237444-Oct2020/
Also contact the journo who wrote this article.
I’ve been with his company for months after using their products, I can honestly say that it has changed my life.
It is far from a ‘cult’ and I’ve experienced no mistreatment of any of the reps.
I think as long as you have a clear goal and are careful not to get stuck in a rut of constant business then it can have a very positive effect on your life.
“It’s not a cult” says the person who has drunk the Kool-Aid.
Hale’s personality type is absolutely en pointe and he looks after himself at the expense of those closest to him.
TS Life is a nasty scam, you just don’t know it yet KoKo. Come back to us in a few more months and tells us how it panned out.
I joined this company as l was supporting my sons friend but from day one not felt comfortable.
I have never seen such an unorganised company.
I am glad l followed my spirit and kept seeking online.
I am out.
Many thanks
One of my friends joined tslife and I watch how her fb feed is now just awash with posts about these products.
Then it looks like it’s a popular post as there are many comments saying how wonderful etc.. only to discover 100% of the comments are other tslife desperados.
Also in one sentence they say how great Value for money these items are ..while also boasting how much money can be made in commission by joint the team.
So a £30 retail item is 50% comissions to start with. Its actual value from actilabs is probably about £2.
All those before and after pictures are mostly people sucking in their belly!! Total scam.
Surprise surprise: irishtimes.com/business/health-pharma/donegal-properties-raided-in-pyramid-scheme-investigation-1.4719504
Thanks for sharing that. Been trying to confirm TS-Life is the company in question.
TS-Life’s Irish incorporation has a Donegal address, so it is probably them.
Hit up socials and haven’t turned up anything so far. Do we have confirmation beyond the address?
Yes it is TSL, and not a moment too soon. Lots seized and CH & JC fleeing from the property. Their whereabouts now unclear.
It’s really very serious for both of them. Not much is circulating and downlines unaware they won’t get paid.
Thanks. I’ll hold off on reporting till we’ve got confirmation I can publish.
If TS-Life is crippled should be evidence next week on the socials I’d imagine.
Allegedly both the CEO and other half have fled from authorities and pretending it’s to do with caring for her mum who has been v I’ll in hosp.
How pathetic and low! He (the would be Messiah) is still in denial and issuing pompous full on statements about big things ahead for 2022.
Hopefully that’s right – a big fat spell in jail for all his fraud and scamming of innocent women!!
This man and his horrible bullying antics destroyed my life at a time when I was vulnerable.
He took people from my team and told them to resign under the leg of his favourites.
I called him on bullying his upline publicly and from there on I was inilated.
He was sacked from vida, he made his money by making us all push sales, he was told product was not available, then blamed vida on it.
He also bought his favourites to TS life and promised them the world. Karma caught up woth them and I hope he gets it too.
He also slept with girls promising them affiliates! Not slander, I’ve messages to prove it!
I earned 3000 a month from a good company which vida was, then he destroyed them when he and his shadows were TERMINATED. Not one of them left!
I’ve page’s and pages of proof, apologies for taken my team and cross recruiting Vida divina was an amazing company, till he got his disgusting hands on it.
@Sassoon if you’ve got proof of goings on at TS Life then there are authorities who would like to speak to you as part of there ongoing investigation. The sleeping around is known about; the man is a sleaze.
Annoyingly Caius Hale is still trying to keep TS afloat. He’s gone fairly underground and is telling the current victims that yes they were investigated but it was a misunderstanding and in the past. NOT true!
The investigation is ON GOING and anyone who is involved WILL lose money and ore besides.
so alittle info for you as i have just joined a company thnat is launhing 01/10/22 ive joied the pre launch beacuse other leaders from my FM business had and it all looks amazing!
atm its still ts-life which will close next week from trading then become reminiscience.
i feel abit fooled as i was so excited by it all but after watching a fb group live with him decided to see who he was and has led me here obviously have seen other comments on the internet too.
Caius Hale and the seriously awful CEO of Acti-Labs, now Urban Retreat have relaunched TS-Life as ‘Reminiscience’.
What’s interesting is that the ‘leaders’ are trying to make out that this is new and not affiliated to TS-Life, whereas it’s been devised by exactly the same two directors under a different name.
Cutesy packaging, bold claims of sustainability, but essentially the same cheap shit under a different name.
Thanks for the update. I’ve added Reminiscience to the review list.
Yep, Reminiscience – the same scam in different packaging. It is just TS Life/Acti-Labs (Urban Retreat).
The address for Reminiscience is an Acti-owned warehouse. Republic of Ireland got too hot to handle so they’ve mixed it up a bit and now the TS Scam seems to be in the U.K.
But where is Caius? Why hasn’t he been arrested yet?
He is in Ibiza I believe.
John miller ceo of acti is an unscrupulous man with crazy accounts on companies house, considering he and his son now own a fleet of super yachts, how did they manage this with the small amount they declare each year?
Ashleigh miller was their best rep and marries johns son James, she knew too much and they had to keep her in the family, again , despite her only ‘officially’ earning £60k a year she owns stables of horses, a multi million pound home, a yacht, multiple Bentleys. Why are they getting away with this?
I myself have alerted HMRC today, and I will tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, I am also alerting trading standards and the police
More people need to do this
John miller/Actilabs is behind this reminiscence and he was also behind ts life, the supanova drink is simply a rehash of the acti one. The drink costs around £1.60 to manufacture per unit, the capsules cost approx £2.20 per box. That is fully packaged.
They are using their ‘labs’ which is a very basic factory to now throw out the naked horse range, the urban retreat, it’s all just the same tat!
They are making tens of millions a year yet this is not reflected in their accounts.
These people, John, his wife Yelena, Ashleigh and James and caius and jade will all be in prison for fraud and tax evasion soon, you mark my words!
Further investigation shows just how much is in Ashleigh’s name, it’s all just the biggest money laundering scam and I am baffled as to how this has gone on so long
They think they are the untouchable MLM mafia only no one is untouchable
Karma, it sometimes takes a while but it always comes around
Has anyone been following the continuation of the scammers into Reminiscience and their involvement with Urban Retreat by ActiLabs and it’s associates John & James Hillyard-Miller and the mysterious lab in France that’s got 6-9 employees and is supposed to make cosmetics for UR.
Reminiscience as well as another brand they use to exploit people called Naked Horse?
Things are all blowing up again after a warehouse fire that started in the company in the building next door; Allegedly all inventory for all 3 companies was destroyed in the blaze, the wind was strong and blew over to the ActiGroup warehouse on Monday 13 March 2023.
Reminiscience is on my review list.
Latest news, they got Ms Sponlie arrested saying she was stalking and harassing them. It’s not clear exactly who is involved but I imagine it’s the usual suspects!
Luckily they let her go as there wasn’t enough evidence but apparently it’s an ongoing investigation and naturally TS/Reminiscience top dogs are all the “victims”.
Exciting stuff by all means. Hopefully the Police find out all about their illegal activities that they’ve been getting away with for years.
