The Biggest Reason Makes the Biggest Difference

Once I joined Arbonne, I came to realize that not only am I helping myself through challenges and taking control of my financial situation...but the promise of helping others was an awesome bonus realization....When I work the system ( and I do everyday) I will be financially secure...I will retire my husband so he can choose his hours...I will travel home to visit my family more and I will help those in need...Since I haven't earned my millions yet (not a get rich quick fix!)...I am starting with a doable fundraiser that is dear to my heart...Raising awareness about Violence towards Women and Children is something I have done for over 13 years....I have stood on the subway platforms with the raging grannies and demanded equality for women, I have stood silently in tears at vigils remembering the women and children who have died at the hands of their partners...I have heard story after story...I have marched in take back the night... I have volunteered on crisis lines..I have taught other women how to become counsellors, I have worked on the midnight shift of a downtown Toronto shelter for years......I now work in a small rural community as a domestic violence counsellor..so I have my dream job...but I have never been able to imagine financially assisting a non profit...this small fundraiser..may raise only a few dollars..but it is the start of many opportunities I will have to make a difference...how cool is that?

Chocolate Raspberry Nutty Banana Mineral Shake!!!!


As a super busy mom of three...yikes!...I am lucky to remember breakfast..each child has demands the minute they wake up! And school/lunches..clothes..well you can imagine..Mom comes last...so I have taken matters into my own hands and started my shakes!.....one mineral shake a day instead of my peanut butter toast/coffee ritual....have to say...it is pretty darn delicious....I know I am nourishing my body!! The ingredients in Arbonne shakes are second to none! They are without any animal products..which is super awesome..and they have 20g of protein!...read more about them and decide when you will start


Healthy living is a choice. One that is very much in our control. In a world filled with increasing hustle and bustle, many people have turned to potentially unhealthy habits to help necessitate the needs of their busy day. Fast food, limited physical activity – we are sacrificing the healthy habits necessary to keep our bodies in their best working order. At Arbonne, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes…and it’s the start of a new year; let’s kick it off right and make healthy habits a choice.

Figure 8 Go Easy Vitamin/Mineral Shake is a unique blend of essential nutrients. One daily serving of Figure 8 Go Easy Vitamin/Mineral Shake delivers 20g of protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. It is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and folate as well as a good source of B vitamins and good source of minerals. The shakes contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc. They are sweetened with stevia which is a natural sweetener. Compare that to other similar products on the market that are sweetened with artificial sweeteners. One of the features of the Go Easy Vitamin/Mineral shakes is the great flavour. If you compare this to other similar products on the market the flavour is far superior. It is available in two convenient sizes - a15 serving size and a 30 serving size and two tantalizing flavours – chocolate and vanilla.

Arbonne’s Protein Matrix Blend provides 20 grams of easily digestible protein from three unique natural sources – pea, rice and cranberry. These protein sources are absorbed by the body very quickly and easily. This unique blend of protein has a couple of advantages over some traditional protein sources, like whey or soy. First, Arbonne’s Protein Matrix blend provides all of the essential amino acids required by the body. Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce itself. This means that in order to get adequate amounts for optimal health we must make sure that we consume what we need in our diet. Pea protein is particularly rich in the essential amino acids, arginine and lysine. Some studies have shown that the consumption of essential amino acids such as arginine and lysine increased protein turnover and improved lean body mass, and physical strength. And secondly not only is whey an animal based protein but both whey and soy proteins have allergic response risks. Folks who are allergic to milk products or to soy should avoid these types of protein.

There are many studies that link protein consumption with satiety. Satiety is that desired satisfied feeling of being full after eating. Consuming foods with high-protein has been shown to enhance the feeling of fullness and also to increase the time until the next food intake. In other words consuming something with high protein will leave you feeling very satisfied, feeling full and you won’t feel like you need to eat again for a longer period of time. Consuming a high-protein snack may also lead to reduced energy intake during the next meal. Think about this in the scope of a normal day. There are times in our busy lives where we skip meals or just find ourselves running out of steam and craving something mid-morning or mid-afternoon or even worse late at night. We often turn to drive-thru options or convenience foods that offer quick choices and a quick fix. These choices are typically high in caffeine, refined sugar and fat. Not only do these options provide empty calories, but the brief feeling of satisfaction they give wears off very quickly. If instead we replaced our mid-morning muffin and coffee, or our afternoon diet soft drink and bag of chips with a Chocolate or Vanilla Vitamin/Mineral Shake with 20 grams of protein, we would be taking one small step towards a healthier lifestyle.

Isn't that a pyramid?

People ask me why on earth do Network Marketing..Isn't that a scam? Isn't it a pyramid?...
I can tell you as a business owner in the retail world..Network Marketing is a safe way to own and operate your own business without the expensive start up cost..and without lots of overhead...


Network Marketing IS   Network Marketing is NOT  
  A challenging, yet rewarding career opportunity where your income is based on your effort. Big business (upwards of $100 billion in goods and services sold globally) that is helping people put their lives back in balance.
Personally empowering. In network marketing, you can work at your own pace and choose your own hours to achieve the rewards YOU are looking for.
A lucrative, home-based business with a recognized distribution system, legal in all 50 states, with portions regulated by consumer protection groups, the FDA and the FCC.
    An easy, "get-rich-quick" scheme.

A fad that everyone seems to be jumping into, only to be replaced with the next opportunity and promises of great wealth.

A cult where you live and breathe the products and the company 24 hours a day.

A pyramid or scam where a few people end up with loads of money and many, many more don't.
