Well for someone who never posts- I have certainly been busy today! To try and get to know some of you- what is your why for doing Arbonne?
My why is as follows- I am a stay at home mom of 4 children- ages 14(son), 10(son), 4(daughter) and 14 months (daughter). After being in the advertising world for so long I decided to come home 3 years ago and do what I had never been able to do- actually raise my kids myself!smileys/smiley32.gif
Been freelancing during this time to make my spending money but was looking for something that would actually bring me some satisfaction while still allowing me the freedom to finance those things that I like to get that just doesn't come under the heading "important to our budget" like those gorgeous Seven jeans!
I will also be attending my 20 yr high school reunion this October and my goal is to have my white mercedes by then!

Terrific goal!!! You can do it!
I had been a stay at home mom for nearly 7 years and felt like I was missing something, alot of things actually. I felt I was missng out on adult interaction that didn't focus on children. I was missing out on feeling that I was contributing to the income. I was missing out on me. Quite frankly, I was tired of doing nothing but changing diapers and doing nothing but housework for so long and I needed something else or my brain would turn to mush!smileys/smiley36.gifsmileys/smiley36.gifsmileys/smiley36.gif My husband makes great money, but has a 90 minute commute each way to work because we can't afford to live closer to D.C. (we live in Pennsylvania, he works in northern Virginia), and it's pressure on him, so to relieve that pressure is a great "why" also.
