Work (the kind that generates an income) has not been something I have been able to fit into my life the last two-and-half years. Having two babies 16 months apart has kept things busy to say the very least. But, opportunity has presented itself and I feel ready to dive into a new endeavour – one that is very, very foreign to me.
About a year ago, I heard about a company called Arbonne which commits itself to providing and toxin-free and eco-friendly comestics and more. I bought shampoo and conditioner, the ingredients of which were enticing in themselves (fresh kiwi and carrot cells). Fast forward to today, I am now an Independent Consultant and eager to launch my new business!
I deliberated over making this decision for a while because I have always felt repelled by the consumer driven society we live in that’s sole purpose to sell you whatever they can with no care as to how it promotes waste, greed and leaves our earth bearing the aftermath as landfills grow and pollutants devastate our atmosphere.
So here’s the thing with Arbonne. I buy shampoo; I sunscreen; I buy moisturizer and a dozen different products, some of which do not have the integrity of considering how the environment is impacted not to mention our bodies. All of Arbonne’s products are made without the use of parabens, formaldehyde, animal by products, synthetic dyes, BPA, benzene, phosphates, etc..
Cosmetics are supposed to enhance our bodies, not deposit toxic chemicals into our bodies that will later show themselves in health issues.
As a mother, I am ever more aware and in search of safe products to use for my children which is why I didn’t hesitate to purchase Arbonne’s baby care sunscreen.
I’d like to feature my favourite product at present. These warm spring days are bringing out those oh so lovely pheromones, well lovely to my husband anyway and not so much to everyone else! I rather prefer the smell of mint don’t you?
The other thing I respect about Arbonne is that they are happy to share their products to be sampled before purchasing! How often do you buy something because the sells rep at your local pharmacy said it was wonderful, only to get home and realize after a few days that you skin doesn’t think it’s wonderful? This is why Independent Consultants sell as opposed to big stores that won’t remember you and only want to see a receipt and an unopened bottle upon return.
So wish me well, friends, in my endeavour – I hope to share what I know and promote healthier options for items that we all buy anyways!
