I once heard that the best things in life come when you least expect them. How true this is of my Arbonne success story! I have been blessed with a deep faith in God and a talent that has made me a successful cosmetologist in my community. I was perfectly happy living in my comfort zone. I was surrounded by the love of my family, had a comfortable income and a successful business. However, there was a desire in me for something I could offer that was not in my normal hair and skin care line. I have a reputation for providing clients with only the best products, and I was not willing to sacrifice losing that by selling a product that I did not believe in with my whole heart and soul.
When my friend and ex-employee, ERVP Becky Mechler, came through my salon doors on a rainy Monday afternoon, I agreed to give her 30 minutes to discuss the product that she spoke so highly of. I had previous plans, but as the rain poured down, I cancelled them. We decided to extend our 30-minute chat into lunch at a local restaurant. Later, while visiting my home, Becky used the NutriMinC® RE9 body serum and lotion on my husband’s very dry legs. I was very impressed by the results with just one application. Our day ended, and I was left in amazement of the product Becky had told me about. Not only had I heard her testimonial about what awesome products the Arbonne line had to offer, I had seen it firsthand on my husband’s legs. Becky continued visiting me during the rest of the week, demonstrating the products and doing facials. The people I work with loved the products, and if you know hairstylists, you know they are not easily persuaded to abandon products they love. They have a mind of their own. I was impressed!
Due to Becky’s persistence, I was inspired to tell her I was ready to become a DM that month. I asked her to please help me achieve that! I began working to reach my goal. My best friend, Nancy Giordano, and her two daughters, now ERVP Tiffani Morales, and Laura Giordano, came to see me a few weeks later, and I introduced them to Arbonne and asked them to join. Because they respected and trusted me, they joined without question. This is how my Arbonne story began on the road to success, where a dream was on its way to becoming a reality because of integrity, focus and determination. This was also the start of our Lafayette team.

Without you, this would not have been possible.

All of you are the driving force behind my dream.
To Founder Petter Mørck and President Rita Davenport: Thank you for giving so many people the opportunity to gain so much in so many different ways.
I thank God for giving me the faith and trust in the unexpected, the hope to anticipate the best, and the belief to be bold and brave enough to take a new path.
I am confident that this success will continue because of the quality of this product. Taking a risk at my age proves that we are never too old or comfortable to begin something new. This new endeavor has energized me, and brought an unexpected change into my life.
