Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
My training is in the fine jewelry business and I am a graduate Gemologist. I had however been looking to be my own boss and have full time replacement income, but time freedom and flexibility. I discovered Arbonne in 2005. Arbonne is a 40 year old Swiss based company over 400 clean, botanical, non toxic products for mind body and skin. They eliminate over 2000 unhealthy ingredients found in skincare and nutrition in the US, are vegan, gluten free and cruelty free. Our products are clinically proven and botanically based, with products for the whole family . Our new Age Well skincare line is brand new and highly innovative, the 30 Days to Healthy living is our #1 regimen for clean eating. 15 years ago I started my Arbonne business as I fell in love with the products and had been looking for a lucrative and fun business opportunity that would allow flexibility to be present with my 2 children. At first I was skeptical that it would be an opportunity to replace a full time income, but I saw the success and had been laid off years ago from a dream job in the fine jewelry industry due to a dip in the economy. That really hurt! I quickly became aware that holistic wellness and beauty was rapidly growing, online businesses, and the demand for clean nutrition and skincare products was on the rise. My skin's sun damage diminished, and the clean eating program and Essentials nutrition made our lives so much better, that I continued to grow my business to the VP level. I am passionate about our motto, Live Well, Age Well and our holistic approach to mind, body and skin. I am very proud that we are a B Corporation, putting people and planet over profits. I love helping my customers look and feel their best, as well as the giving caring culture of this company, and most of all building a team of visionary leaders making a difference with the ripple effect they offer in helping people to succeed.
What would your clients say about you and your company?
That the clean eating program has showed them how to eat well and they love how they feel! They love the Arbonne anti-ging skincare and are extremely loyal to the brand and know that they are using products that are clean and safe for their family. Shopping online with the discount they choose is convenient and they love the help that I have for them in choosing what's best for their skincare or nutrition concerns. They love the free products, discounts and free shipping.
