Arbonne Inspirational Quote #1

Who we become depends on who we have helped along the way. -Shane Monday

Wow this quote is so true, not only in my Arbonne business, but in every aspect of my life.  One thing I have really enjoyed so far in my journey with Arbonne are all the people I am able to meet and the lives I am able to be a part of.  I'm so excited that I can bring this great opportunity to others and allow them to stay home with their kids, replace their income, make extra cash, and spend more time with the people they love the most.  What a great gift to give someone!!

A Supportive Husband

Below is a recommendation from my husband that he posted on linkedin:  Thanks honey!

Nate Petry

, Account Manager, Teletronics Communications, Inc. 

"Yes Jamie is my wife!  Her dedication to helping people is her number one driving motivation for being with Arbonne.  Of course she believes in the product, they are great.  How do I know because I use the men's line and believe me I was a huge skeptic.  But more than her love of the product, as a  mom of 2 young  children she knows first hand that women need to set times when they can get away and  be a little girly.  She loves giving that opportunity to women via her parties.  I would strongly recommend asking her to throw you a party real soon and stick her kids with her husband."  February 26, 2011.

ABC: Arbonne Baby Care

I just recently bought the ABC: Diaper Rash Cream for Katie.  She is 11 months now.  I never really used any diaper rash cream in the past because neither of my children ever experienced diaper rash.  Well Katie has stopped eating baby food and is now experiencing different dirty diapers than usual.  I was SO impressed with Arbonne's diaper rash cream.  It is very light and creamy and goes on so smooth.  A previous diaper rash cream was really thick and I would always have to wash it off her because it would still be on the next day.  This diaper rash cream worked instantly and help heal her butt and reduce redness.  I highly recommend it for your babies and it makes a perfect baby shower gift.  If you are looking for a baby shower gift I would recommend the baby care set as well as the body firming cream for the mother-to-be.  It's personally my favorite product and the 1 product that sold me on Arbonne.  It's so true, the products really do sell themselves.

Want to buy at 80% off?

A host only has to gather 4-6 people to have a party.  The host is able to choose any item up to $50 for FREE and then depending on the party is able to order $100 for $20, $200 for $40, $300 for $60, and so on (80% off discount).  Arbonne really takes care of their hosts.
At your party I will bring a goodie bag, if at least 2 people at your  party book a party for me, then you get to keep everything inside!!

Hosting a party is super easy and a great way to purchase products at an amazing discount.

Awesome Party

I had an amazing party on Sunday. I left the party with my mom and told her I was so excited that I knew I would be unable to sleep that night.  My mom helped me start my business by taking a catalog to work and spreading the word to the women she works with.  Donna decided to host a party for me (an earn 80%off) and invite a lot of women from Union Hospital.  The party was great, a lot of women had specific questions and concerns during the presentation and everyone left feeling pampered.  Several women were concerned about stretch marks and scarring, so they purchased the body firming cream.  A few women had ezcema or someone they know has it, so they bought the ABC product line.  One girl has rosacea so she is really anxious to try out the RE9 Advanced.
My host was able to order $500 worth of products for 100 bucks and also able to order 5 products all at 50% off.  Plus she received a $50 item for FREE!!  I'd say she was a great hostess!!!
It is so fun to be able to meet new people and start new friendships.  I was able to meet a girl who lives in Columbus and it would have been great to have known her while I still lived down there.

I'm really looking forward to Friday, because Lesa is having her first party!!  She is going to be so good at this!!  She is so funny and easy to be around.  I think everyone is going to love coming to her parties, I'm very excited for our friendship to blossom through our adventures with Arbonne.  I'm also very excited to see how Arbonne transforms her family.  I know her husband had to go back to school and how much she would love for him to be home more.

First Post

I'm starting a blog today to record my journey with Arbonne.  I joined Arbonne January 1st, 2011.  Amanda Kenney introduced me to Arbonne a year and a half ago when I started hosting parties for her.
I have been using the products for a year and half, but it just recently hit me that I needed to be a part of this team!!  I came to a point where I asked myself, "Why am I not doing this?"  It just made sense that I should sell these products.  In just a month and a half I have already been promoted to district manager and have formed my own team: Denell, Brandi, and Lesa.
I will admit that the incentive trip to the Bahamas this summer did catch my eye before signing up.  I get to stay home with the kids, work around my family's schedule, meet new people, help people with great products, be a part of a team, bring in extra income for my family, party for a living :), and so much more!!

Just a few of my favorite products even before selling:  Hair mask, fizzy tablets, primer, and the BODY FIRMING CREAM!  The body firming cream (just like all their products) sold itself.  I saw a before and after picture of a girl who used the product for 5 days and saw her stretch marks basically disappear.  So after having a 10lb 7oz baby I decided why not try?  So I took a before picture and after picture at day 12.  Wow how impressive.  If you decide to host a party, then I will share this picture with you there.
I will be adding more later.  Hope you decide to follow my blog and my journey with Arbonne.
