At last, the final day of GTC 2013! The training from the arena stage was phenomenal, with brilliant and inspirational words of wisdom from our Independent Consultants. Not a single person left the morning general session without a renewed sense of purpose and a list of “to-do’s” to grow their business.

A highlight of the morning was the phenomenally talented Arbonne UK dancers — Independent Consultants, who, through dance, told the story of the opportunity. The dancing and singing talent at today’s trainings was breathtaking — and Arbonne’s Got Talent was still to come!

In the afternoon, Independent Consultant and Executive National Vice President Cecilia Stoll, Arbonne’s top income earner, gave the keynote and all pens were poised to capture every word.

Have you ever wondered how great products are created?…
They may seem to come out of the blue, but in reality, there’s a product development process that allows everything to come together to create the Aha! Moment — when the light bulb comes on, an inkling of an idea takes hold — and it becomes truly innovative.

Scientific Innovation
At Arbonne, product development starts with a product idea that has a real point of difference. Market research and trend data points us in a certain direction, says Dr. Matravers, Pharm.D., senior vice president of product development.“Think of it as predicting the future and creating innovation at the same time,” he explains.At Arbonne, once a product idea gets the green light, it takes one to two years to develop. “When we’re developing a product formula, we look at ingredient properties along with … Read More »

We’re always being told to get more antioxidants into our diet. But what exactly are they, and why are they so important in the pursuit of health? We answer those questions, plus look at some of the best ways to include more antioxidants in your diet, whether it’s via the food you eat or the nutritional supplements you take.

What They Are
Essentially, antioxidants are molecules that help protect our bodies against free radicals. Free radicals are released when oxidization occurs within the body, and they can cause damage to the structure of cells.

How They Help
Scientists and medical experts consider the free radicals produced by oxidation to be one of the major causes of cellular degeneration both inside and out. By quenching these free radicals, antioxidants can help to prevent cellular damage and can assist in slowing down the cellular degeneration. An … Read More »

A great shave is as close as just four steps away.

The daily ritual of shaving is the closest thing many men have to a skin care routine. But what most guys don’t realize is that a good skin care regimen can actually improve their daily shave. By prepping the skin, the right products make for a closer, more comfortable shaving experience. Skin care products can also soothe the face post-shave and help to prevent shaving-related problems (such as ingrown hairs and razor burn). Plus, a product line such as Arbonne RE9 Advanced™ for Men can help give you a more youthful appearance, because it is a skin care regimen developed to help reduce the visible signs of aging. And with SPF 20, it also helps to prevent sunburn.

FOUR STEPS TO A SMOOTHER SHAVE

Today, we know that a simple day cream SPF can be considered one of the best anti-aging products around. People are becoming increasingly aware that sun protection goes way beyond merely throwing a tube of sunscreen into their beach bag. Many skincare and cosmetic products — from anti-wrinkle creams to trendy cosmetics — now proudly display their sun protection factor (SPF). Why? Because shielding oneself daily from the sun’s potentially damaging rays is a powerful tool in any anti-aging skincare regimen.

Prevention and Protection
“We have some amazing products that can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and other visible signs of aging, such as our RE9 Advanced® line. But the first step is always prevention, and one of your best defenses against the damaging effects of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays is having broad spectrum SPF sunscreen products,” says Dr. Peter … Read More »

A sun-kissed tan never seems to go out of style. But too much sun exposure can age and damage the skin, so getting a “faux glow” is the safest way to stay looking and feeling young and healthy. Bronzer and self-tanner are two easy ways to get that golden glow without putting yourself at risk.

SELF TANNING FOR BEGINNERS

Transform those legs, and the rest of your body, from winter white to summer bronze with Arbonne BefoRE Sun Made in the Shade Self-Tanner Sunscreen SPF 15. Its blend of beneficial botanical (including avocado oil, chamomile and rosemary extracts) nurture the skin while adding a deep, healthy tan. Plus the SPF offers broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection for a tan that helps safeguard you against the sun’s damaging rays.

It’s a new year and Arbonne has launched Pure Transformation. Watch how Brand Manager, Thom, takes the concept and runs with it…literally.

Thought pimples were something you would leave behind in high school? Sadly, it isn’t always the case. Even the most dry or mature skin an suffer from blemishes, due to a wide range of factors, including hormones, weather  pollution, diet, and more. Sot it’s not uncommon for people to have a blemish cream alongside an anti-aging cream in their bathroom cabinet. Because younger looking skin is something we all aspire to -but that doesn’t mean we want to bring back pimples!

No matter what your age or skin type, there are some simple skin care steps you can take to help keep your complexion as blemish-free as possible.

Keep it Clean
Dirt, environmental pollutants and oil are all pore-blocking, blemish-promoting elements, so cleanse the face regularly — in the morning, at night to remove makeup and the day’s dirt, and after a heavy workout to prevent the pores becoming blocked with sweat and grime. For those with … Read More »

In honor of Black History Month, here is an inspirational quote from an inspirational woman, Madame C.J. Walker: “I had to make my own living and my own opportunity. But I made it! Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.”

Madame C.J. Walker was one of the earliest pioneers of the direct sales industry. In 1905 she developed her own hair care products and started the Madame C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, which manufactured and distributed all her products. Madame Walker realized early on that her prospective customers were more likely to buy products after experiencing them, so she spent 18 months between 1906 and 1908 traveling door-to-door demonstrating and selling them.

Because of her thriving business and obvious savvy, Madame C.J. Walker became known as the first self-made millionairess in the United States.  … Read More »

And may we just say, Arbonne, you’re really looking great!
Through the 80s, 90s and moving into 2013,
You’ve been Arbonne … Pure. Safe. Beneficial. … then, now and every year in between.

Founder Petter Morck was a man ahead of his time in the 1980s,
Creating botanically-based formulas and the opportunity to earn a Mercedes.
With an eye on Arbonne and a mission to honor the earth and all living things,
He began this legacy and left it to generations who would give it wings.

Today, as we light another candle to mark year number 33,
We know the best is yet to come, especially with Pure Transformation and GTC.
And if the past is any indication of what the future will hold,

Today was pretty amazing. I was lucky enough to sit down for an interview with CEO Kay Napier, who is not only a successful business woman, but a talented artist as well. Throughout the interview, I can’t help but feel a bit of nostalgia when she reminisces about painting with her daughter because I used to do the same with my dad.

It is clear that Kay is the ultimate parent in every sense of the word and she takes her role as ‘Mama Bear’ to Independent Consultants, the Home Office, and her two children very seriously. As she delves into her own life and explains the inextricable link between training and success, I am transported back to the last GTC when she invited me to join her on stage. “Don’t worry, we’ll just have … Read More »

There’s an easy way to add some color to your fall ensemble – vibrant shades are the big trend for eyes and lips.

When we say “fall colors”, you may conjure up the warm shades of rip pumpkins or falling leaves. And sure, we love those, but this fall, we’re all about fashion. And the shades seen on contemporary runways are far from traditional. We’re talking vibrant jewel tones of purple, blue and green – brilliant cerulean and cobalt blues, glimmering emerald greens and vivid shades of violet, eggplant and magenta.

These color trends also extend to cosmetics. And it’s easy to seem them in action, with A-list actresses such as Zooey Deschanel and Emma Stone, and fashion models like Kate Moss and Alexa Chung seen on red carpets and magazine covers wearing these colorful, cutting-edge trends with stunning perfection.

COLORIZE YOUR EYES
Forget that usual wintry palette of grays, blacks … Read More »

With the holidays fast approaching, November provides a much needed pause in the hectic season—it is truly a time of reflection. The end of Daylight Savings asks us to rewind our clocks and ‘fall back,’ giving us an extra hour of the day with which to contemplate and reflect. Similarly, Thanksgiving is a time to remember the gifts you have been given and give thanks to the wonderful people around you. In turn, your graciousness will motivate the people around you to keep being wonderful!

I think that Michael D’Arminio, our new Chief Creative Officer, is the embodiment of November. During my interview with him, two things became abundantly clear: 1) We are both native New Yorkers and 2) He is an incredibly thoughtful and positive person who consistently uses past experiences to inform his next steps. With nearly 20 years … Read More »

In the first of a series, we would like to introduce you to the “Arbonne Man” …

A seemingly confident, good-looking man comes your way. As he walks by, his scent envelops the air around you. What is it? Is it a manly scent, like the rich aroma of the woods, as if he had just hauled back a bundle of firewood – while riding in on his steady steed – ready for a cozy night huddled near the fireplace? Does his scent suggest a bold spontaneity? Perhaps it inspires thoughts of a mysterious figure jet setting around the world, embroiled in espionage, sabotage or a corporate takeover?

Probably not. Most likely, he reeks of cheap after-shave, perspiration and low expectations. He is definitely not “The Arbonne Man.”

The Arbonne Man is naturally well taken care of by the Arbonne lady in his … Read More »

The Home Office was a bit impatient this year when it came to All Hallow’s Eve. So what if it’s a week early? These ghosts and ghouls can’t be tamed or told when to celebrate or spook. Unfortunately, all work doesn’t halt in honor of Halloween, so we found ourselves in a delicate balancing act. Although the Haunted House and festivities took up most of the afternoon, there was still a whole day of work to cram in!

Dressed in my yellowest finest, I spent the day as an organic banana and did my darnedest to stay on schedule…

October 25, 2012 – 7:30 AM
My drive to work is normal enough—for a banana in a Prius. I’m enjoying singing along to Bananarama, which is surprisingly appropriate and coincidentally on the radio.

With great pleasure, I present to you the theme of GTC 2013: Pure Transformation—it has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Pure to represent Arbonne’s continued dedication to pure, safe, and beneficial products and Transformation because that’s what we do. We transform bodies, routines, businesses and lives, hence the tagline, “It starts with changing your self, then, it’s about changing your life.” But it doesn’t stop there! To accompany the theme, Pure Transformation comes with a gorgeous logo. Because transformation is a complete sensory experience, we needed some visual aids. Creative Director, Arlette Madenlian, and her team have done it again! Here comes another Arbonne showstopper.

In typical Arbonne fashion, the logo is ‘not just another pretty face.’ Everything the Creative Department creates is multi-dimensional and often requires a second look, so I sat down with Arlette to pick her … Read More »

The winter holidays are fast approaching and we have three time saving tips to keep you up to speed and on track this season.

It’s officially fall, which means back to school! It is the season of new. New clothes, new weather, new skin care routines to accommodate the new weather, and if you are here at the Arbonne Home Office, it means new talent, as well!

In honor of this time of year, I decided to channel my inner student and play reporter to my school newspaper. So, I sharpened my new pencils, grabbed a new notebook, and sat down to interview Arbonne’s newest addition, Ms. Heather Chastain, Sr. VP and Chief Sales Officer. What a treat!

Not only is Heather celebrated in the direct selling industry for her 16 years of industry expertise, she has a curiosity and work ethic in line with the Arbonne brand and a confidence and gift for mentoring that is in line with the Arbonne Charitable Foundation. And … Read More »

Hello, Arbonnites!

Since I began working at the Arbonne Home Office, I have been consistently amazed with the quality of work that is produced by the Creative Department. For those of you who attended this year’s GTC in Las Vegas, I don’t need to tell you how brilliant our team is. From the organic-looking words ushering you to the arena, to the living botanical billboards, to the Product Experience— the execution was flawless. And, the event was the perfect introduction to the newer, greener (if that was even possible), brand image.

Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with our Creative Director, Arlette Madenlian, to discuss the Holiday 2012 Product Catalogue. I must admit, I was a bit in awe of her creative genius, but I kept it together for the sake of the interview … enjoy!

At Arbonne, we focus on formulating the highest quality skin care, cosmetic and health and wellness products; however, there are always questions regarding certain ingredients that are or are not used in our formulations. Whether it is concerns over chromium or objections over oxybenzone, Arbonne’s Sr. VP of Product Development, Dr. Peter Matravers, answers the important questions and clears up confusion about our formula’s ingredients, their beneficial purpose and the safe levels included in each product.

Supporting Optimal G.I. Balance

These days, whether it be Jamie Lee Curtis touting the benefits of certain products or other commercials mentioning the health benefits of other digestion products, we’ve been hearing much more about probiotics and prebiotics.  Now, perhaps we know that these are helpful nutrients and that they help support gastrointestinal health, but what are probiotics and why do we need them?  What do they do specifically to support our health?  These are great questions, but to start off we should discuss how our gastrointestinal systems can become, “out of whack”.

Our gastrointestinal systems maintain a sensitive microfloral balance in our bodies to help us function properly and make sure that we don’t notice the work that it does on a daily basis.  For the most part, many of us go about our lives day to day without any notice of imbalance … Read More »

Say Goodbye to Dry

Let’s face it — no one likes a flake! But, for many, dry skin is a common concern, particularly during the winter months. This is because of the reduced humidity in the air — less moisture in the air means less moisture for your skin. This compromises your skin’s outermost protective layer, the stratum corneum, causing the skin to become dry and flaky.

And the thing is, dry skin isn’t just uncomfortable, it can age you by making fine lines more visible! Don’t fret though — thankfully I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help prevent dry, flaky skin at any time of year.

Essential Aromas

People are always telling me how much they love the scent of Arbonne® products. That’s because the essential oils we use in so many of our products make using them what I like to call a truly “aromatherapeutic” experience.

Aromatherapy is the practice of using natural plant oils to enhance emotional and physical well-being. Lavender is known for its soothing properties, citrus oils are considered uplifting, and so on. We use essential oils in many of our formulations — take a look at the list below to see which oils help add the signature scent to some of your favorite product lines.

With the fragrances, the reason for our use of these essential oils is clear. But we don’t always use these oils for their pleasant aromas alone. Many of these natural plant oils are known for their therapeutic properties and … Read More »

The Tingle of Tea Tree 

A lot of people — guys in particular — tell me how they love the pleasant tingling sensation they experience when they use our Arbonne Intelligence Not-So-Basic® Daily Self-Adjusting Shampoo with Tea Tree Oil. That tingling feeling comes from the key ingredient — tea tree oil.
With this ingredient, we’ve taken a leaf out of the book of the Australian aborigines, who have used the oil for centuries as a remedy for all manner of ailments. (For all you botany buffs out there, the oil is extracted from the leaves of the Australian tea tree, or Melaleuca alternifolia.)

Modern science has of course confirmed what these indigenous healers discovered long ago — the oil’s natural antibacterial and antifungal properties mean it can help relieve everything from acne and athlete’s foot to dandruff. These properties make it a perfect … Read More »
