my arbonne life <3

Hey all. Well, what can I say? I have been loving my new studio and using all my vegan and vegan friendly products. The reason I got in to my Davines and Maria Nila Products all started when my mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer and I started to research products and their properties. Sulphates and paraben's are not good for your body and your bowel cannot break them down! I have IBS and am gluten free also so this really was a no brainer for me. Yes, they are slightly more expensive than some brands but I would rather invest in better products that I can not only use on myself but I can use on my clients too. The products are all sulphate, paraben free and cruelty free too. The more I think about it the more I understand why I have chosen to have my studio as my wee haven. I wouldn't want anyone to test products on my daughter or my wee cat Lola so why would I think it was okay for other poor defenceless animals to be tested on just so I can buy a cheaper product!? I just can't do it!  It is totally a personal journey I am on and I know it is not for everyone. After months of using the Davines and Maria Nila products I could really see the difference in my clients hair. I wanted to get into skin care and makeup too but didn't really know how. Well, this is when the universe sent me the lovely makeup artist Nicola O'Neill. She contacted me through my facebook page about the Arbonne range. She had thought it would be a great mix with what I was already doing in my studio and boy was she right. Not only has the skincare changed my face and made me feel amazing, the makeup is fabulous too. I invested in both packages and couldn't be happier with my decision. I became a consultant and this gave me discounts to buy further into the brand and I have now have a preferred client list. I would love to have more consultants come onto my team and start making money too. Not only are you using amazing products that are great for you, make you look and feel younger and amazing but it gives you the opportunity to build your own wee business. If you would like be become a preferred client and get discounts on your products rather than become an consultant you can do that too. Just send me a wee message. I will be holding an introduction to Arbonne on Tuesday 8th August from my studio. My sponsor and makeup artist Nicola O'Neill will be hosting it to introduce me to the company. Limited spaces available so if you would like to take part in my evening and learn more, please get in touch. I promise you guys will not be disappointed. Start thinking about what you put on your skin and how it can effect your health. We only get one go at this life and we should grab it with both hands. Love yourself and love your body. Sick of feeling sluggish and tired? Arbonne have an amazing healthy eating plan too. All vegan and gluten free, so nothing to annoy or upset your bowel or stomach! I am starting it tomorrow so will be keeping a record to see how I get on. Very excited for this next chapter in my life. Thank you for reading this if you took the time.

Lots of Love, Lynette xx
