What an amazing journey!

Arbonne came into my life in February 2003 when my great friend,
Jennifer Melton, invited me to a “mom’s night out.” I went as most
people do, with no intention of buying anything. As the night went
on, I learned about skin care and the network marketing industry…
talk about being mortified. Although I went home without purchas-
ing anything, I had a sample in hand and spent the rest of the night
stewing in disbelief about all I had learned that night. The next day
I tried the sample of Bio-Matte® Oil Free Cleanser. It was amazing.
I had been searching for something like this for years. I called RVP

couragement and doubt … all at the same time. The excitement of

 believe that you will not be successful until you are able to handle
 it. Go team!

 Thank you to all who have gone before me. You have paved the
 road and filled me with so many hopes, dreams and promises. Your
 words of encouragement have kept us all going.

 To my husband, Richard: Thank you for your patience, and for
 allowing me to find my self-worth again. I know it has not been easy
 for you. I look forward to the rest of our lives together sitting on the
 porch in Tennessee.
