Discover Arbonne, UK

Regular visitors to Rileys-Smile soon discover that I am an Independent Consultant for Arbonne International.  For me, Arbonne in an opportunity.  As Riley's mom, I started thinking of myself only as "caregiver."  Eventually, I needed to expand my life beyond the caregiver role for financial reasons, as well as my emotional health; Arbonne brings me an opportunity to improve my personal life as well as that of my entire family.  

There are many wonderful choices in the direct marketing world: shoes, vitamins and supplements as Arbonne does, gourmet foods (I do love food), kitchen items, energy bracelets, scrapbooks, soaps, candles, other personal care lines and even items for the bedroom (alright, I thought that would be fun to share with everyone).   Considering all these, I wanted to carry products that would truly be something I felt good using for my entire family.  Just looking at Riley, I knew he needed products for washing, cleaning and even massage that are botanically based and do not carry harmful chemicals - anything used on Riley (not to mention the rest of my family including my particular husband) has to be good for Riley.  The one line to really fill that need is Arbonne.

 The Arbonne Opportunity

Arbonne leads in the Vegan Products Skincare Industry

May I share this opportunity with you?  That I can even ask that here on the internet is amazing.  Here we can work together from my little corner of Florida to reach across the US and now to the United Kingdom and Australia.  I am no mystery; I put it all out there on this blog, you know who I am, how I think and what my challenges are in this life.  I ask that you investigate with an open mind and consider working with me toward a better future for yourself.

Where are you in your life? See where you want to go, focus on who you want to become, dream about the lives you want to touch,  then go make it happen.  This is such an incredible time to be a part of Arbonne!!!   I am choosing right now to move past all my fears and face the challenge before me.  No one else is going to put my kids through college, send my family on a missions trip, bring my husband home from his "JOB"...no one can give us the time and financial freedom we desire except for us!  We need to accept responsibility and go out and make it happen.  Let's lock arms and be stronger and better together!  I will do everything I can to help each one of you but you need to let me know how I can best help and serve you.  Accept responsibility for your business but know that support, guidance and encouragement are here every step of the way!!!

This is an opportunity of a lifetime!!  The GIFT of Arbonne!!!  Our company is a few years young in the UK.  It will either BE YOU or someone else!  EVERY SINGLE one of You have the OPPORTUNITY to be financially free and to CHANGE LIVES!!

You can be a part of the best company in the world as well as have the ability to leave a legacy for your family as well as many others.

Simply put, network marketing is a distribution system, or form of marketing, which channels goods or services from the manufacturer to the consumer through a "network" of independent distributors or Consultants.

Memorial Day Weekend Shanti Om - Guest Post by Donna Lee

Memorial day weekend, an extra long one with free time, allowing me to come over to visit my buddy Riley and family. Om recognized that we were entering Riley's community and when we reached his street, Om was half way out the window,anticipating seeing his friends.

Mom and dad informed me that Riley isn't exactly up to par, or as we say in yiddish, kvetchy. He and i found our spot on the floor and started to communicate by touch, facial expressions and sounds. What always amazes me with Riley, is how vocal he becomes while I am massaging him, and especially when we are done, feeling the results when i place his calm body back on the rug, cushioned by pillows, His lungs/diaphragm/voice open up, allowing him to vocalize much more. Today he said "om", really!!! 

Om sat beside us the entire treatment, licking Riley as often as he could. Riley grabbed Om's leg and tail, not

a flinch out of Om, just peace and quiet.. . 

Today I used the Arbonne Seasource 5-in-1 essential oil. WOWOWOW. All of the senses were stimulated by the amazing aromas,resulting in the looser muscles and relief. There is a looooooooooong list of oils in this mixture, but the most dominant are my favorites, lavender(calming), pepperment (great for the breathing and tummy), citrus. The base is made of sunflower seed oil, safflower, jojoba, hazzel and canola. So, you can imagine the effect it had on both our senses, leaving us both very "shanti om".

That inner peace didn't last too long after hearing Ronan take a dive into the pool, resulting in an explosive belly flop,and a few tears. Stacie, Riley and I sat at poolside enjoying each others company, a few moments of friendship and bliss. 

My hopes are that Riley will get over his kvetchy'ness, that he and  his family will have an enjoyable weekend. 

My heart goes out to anyone who lost a family member serving his/her country. My thanks goes out to anyone who serves to protect us. That is what this weekend is all about.

Shukaryia, toda, thanks

Arbonne Opportunity in the United Kingdom

Good Morning,

I post this asking for your aid.  Would you please sharing this with any friends or family in the U.K. who may be looking to bring in extra income and have a preference for all natural products.  You would be doing a great service to myself and anyone who pursues this opportunity in earnest.

As you know, I am a work at home mother so that I may be available to my family.  This is a gift I gave to myself as an Arbonne Independent Consultant.  Arbonne is a direct marketing company  which distributes superior skin care, health and wellness products.  Recently the company started a big push into the UK.  I am really happy I went into this and would really appreciate the opportunity to share it with others.  Simply forward it on and share my contact information with anyone who has an interest.  I would be so happy to discuss this with anyone and truly believe it is worth their while to consider.  Below is a list of upcoming events to learn more about the opportunity.  Please ask her or him to contact me and I will register them for the event.   Thank you so much!

Dear Arbonne Independent Consultant,

It’s a great time to be a part of Arbonne, and an even more exciting time for Arbonne UK.  With an anticipated 65% growth in the UK this year, we’d like to invite you to be part of the action!

Do you have family, friends or contacts in the UK that you’d like to introduce to all that Arbonne has to offer? Why not build your own UK business by encouraging them to attend an Arbonne Revolution event?

We will be hosting three free events in May across the United Kingdom where your guests and prospects can learn about The Arbonne Opportunity, hear from UK Corporate staff and field leaders and sample the UK product selection.

Not only that, but we have a training programme planned for prospects who sign up providing additional support as you build your business in a remote market.  We will be working with you to get new Consultants off to a great start!

Four Ingredients of Success by Tom Barrett, Ph.D:

• Determine what you want.
• Decide what you will give up in order to get what you want.
• Associate with people who will help you get what you want.
• Have a plan that works and work your plan.

I’ve also decided not to remind you that a simple plan that is implemented is better than an elaborate plan that is ignored.
Furthermore, I’ve determined not to remind you that your dreams need to be large. How large?

• You need a dream big enough to get your butt out of bed in the morning.
• You need a dream big enough to keep you up at night.
• You need a dream big enough to help you ignore fear and frustration.
• You need a dream big enough to help you push through fatigue and frustration.

So, instead of reminding you of things you already know, I’ve decided to ask you the one, big question: Do you know it’s time for dusting?
It’s time to dust off your hope. Dust off your belief. Dust off your confidence. Dust off your determination. And it’s time to dust off your dreams.
Let’s face it, you will either dust these off or you will cast them off. And that single choice will profoundly impact the direction and quality of your life for years to come.
C.S. Lewis wrote, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” I love the power, optimism and hope embedded in his words. And I like the reminder that it’s never too late for anyone to dust off their dreams and get back into the game of life. Including you.
Committed to your success…and dusting,
Tom Barrett, Ph.D.

Good Friday

It's a day of celebration here.  It's my mother's birthday today.  We are all so grateful to have her nearby.  Just knowing she is close helps keep us just a little more grounded.

 Yes, I do believe this is from the seventies... but it's the one in my computer... low energy remember.  Hmm, it seems that those chops are coming back.  Here's another one from the seventies, Halifax, Nova Scotia if I remember correctly.  Uh oh, are you adding up that 28 yet.

... and Wednesday should have been my parents anniversary.  It's been seventeen years since I lost my Dad.  I remember him every day.  It is these past eight years that I realize I needed him the most.  His perspective and participation in our lives would have been invaluable in all the experiences we have gone through since Riley's birth.  Mostly though, I just miss my Dad.

These past few days I struggled to find time and energy to formulate the next post.  My mission to share the special needs life is laden with emotion.  Then I realized that the difficulty is my post.  This niche post is about special needs and it isn't easy to accomplish everything.  Riley's last illness still hangs on and I have spent many hours in the night comforting him and trying to find a little sleep for myself.

Once the day comes along, I simply go through the motions.  However, there is no end to my blessings either.  Riley is patient and loving.  John always has more to give no matter what he encounters in his day.  We have also found a support system along the way.  Donna Lee dropped in again.  This time to make sure I start on a Pilates regimen ... ouch.  In the past 24 hours, John has had plenty of work, sold a beautiful fossil (I suspect he'll miss that one), sold Arbonne, cheesecake and keflie's.   Both boys are happy to be home for Lee County's spring break.  Yesterday I had the opportunity to chaperone Ronan's class at the Naples Zoo, I do hope he enjoyed having his mom along.  The boys and I all had kisses from Om.  Miss Zita, our temporary Lithuanian PCS from Joanne's House (Hope Hospice,) got Riley all cleaned up and happily traded beautiful vegetables for baked goods - though my intention was for her to simply have them... he feels so much better and is next to me singing along to the music.  My friend Jessica is in town; maybe I will actually go out on the town, maybe...

The days are full of good and bad.  There was a time when all we managed was getting Riley through the night and day... more on that later.  Yes, a lot is happening in the day now.  We muddle through and the energy will return.

Annalaura Brown Interview

This morning I had the privilege to be interviewed by Annalaura Brown about being a special needs mom working from home.  Ms. Brown offers social media training and network marketing support on her website, http://annalaurabrown.com.  We found each other on the LinkedIn's Special Needs Group.  Please give the recording link a listen, especially if you are considering an at home business.

I recommend exploring her site, she has a lot to offer: "Today my vision for my business includes empowering others to see that they too can succeed in business and I am making a difference in the lives of countless others all over the world. I especially am passionate about helping moms of children with special needs to be able to stay home with their children and to be able to give these angels the best that life can offer."

Drop me a line at oceanantiquities@embarqmail.com if you are curious about Arbonne and working from home or simply need some great products.  I would enjoy hearing from you.

Into the Mystic with Arbonne

This past Saturday I was fortunate to spend my day as a vendor with the 6th Annual Spring Mystic Faire in Naples presented by Candyce Strafford of Orchid Moon Promotions, One Light One World.  It was a wonderful event full of positive energy with psychic, healers, massage and vendors.  I shared my Arbonne (ID 18425803) products which was a perfect match being botanically pure for the crowd searching for enlightenment.   Thank you Candy for sharing this opportunity with me!  Stacie Wiesenbaugh
