Changing from the Inside Out

Yesterday was my one-month anniversary with my new job...independent consultant with Arbonne International. Arbonne is a company that not too many people are familiar with, at least around this area, but those who are have only had good things to say about it.

Arbonne is a direct sales company with independent consultants all over the world. I never in my life thought I'd be selling something. I love to be around people, but selling never crossed my mind as a career option.

When I was introduced to Arbonne by a good friend in Virginia, I approached the idea with skepticism. I listened to some recorded phone calls about what a career with Arbonne has done for some people, and I spent some time getting to know the product. The more I learned the more I truly believed this was a product I could feel good about sharing with people. This is not your typical cosmetics company or skin care company. This is a company that cares about the health and well being of people all over the world. The products are based on botanical ingredients. There are no harsh chemicals. There are no animal products in any of their items. There are no petroleum-based ingredients. Because there are no fillers, the products are concentrated, so they last longer than a typical department store item. These products actually help treat the skin and keep it healthy longer. The cosmetics actually moisturize the skin and allow it to breathe even though it has makeup on it.

A very small sampling of some of Arbonne's products

Arbonne will not make something unless it can be made to be pure, safe, and beneficial. The products are hypoallergenic. The eye care creams and other eye products have been ophthalmologist tested and deemed safe. The day lotions and foundations are formulated with SPF.  The products are made from the highest quality ingredients and conform to Swiss standards, which are THE highest standards in the industry.

Not only are there skin-care products and cosmetics, but Arbonne has a line of wellness products, from protein shake mixes to detoxifying skin-care products. There are energy fizz tabs which provide sustained energy without a crash like you get from high-dose caffeine or sugar drinks. They also help to boost metabolism and suppress the appetite. I have been using them every couple of days, and I love them. They work so well, and they come in citrus and pomegranate flavors (pom is my favorite).

Arbonne also has a holiday catalog with some of the most amazing smelling lotions, body washes, and sugar scrubs I've ever smelled. There is a Pampermint foot set (smells like, you guessed it, peppermint) that comes with an adorable pair of soft socks. They have perfumes and even a men's cologne.

Arbonne's signature line is called RE9. This product line helps to reverse the aging process by supporting collagen and firming the skin. It helps get rid of wrinkles. The skin-care and wellness products can all be used by men and can be used interchangeably with products from Arbonne's other lines depending on your needs. RE9 also has a men's shaving line. I use the exfoliating wash myself and shave gel. They don't have a men's shaving cream smell. The wash has a citrus smell, and the shave gel has no scent.

There is an acne line and a line to pause the aging process (FC5) which is directed at either oily, dry, or normal skin types.

I would encourage you, if you haven't already, to check out my Arbonne website at www.fitinsideandout.myarbonne.com and find something that you will love. Arbonne even guarantees that you will love it or you can get your money back within 45 days of ordering. This usually gives people a good 30 days to try a product to determine if you like it.

You may also call me if you have any questions at 424-ARBONNE or email me at tammie.bairen@gmail.com. I would be happy to answer any questions or place an order for you over the phone.

Check us out! You'll be glad you did!

Thank you,
