I love meeting inspirational women who motivate me to do good and live life to its fullest. Since developing Beauty Chat, maintaining the position of senior editor at PlasticSurgery.com, and working with talented writers day in and day out, I thrive off staying busy and turning the idea of  “chaos” into a healthy dosage of “challenges.”

So after meeting Jennifer  Dioguardi, an independent consultant for the botanically-based, skincare line Arbonne International, I am happy to divulge the keys to her success in representing a line of “premium skin care, health, and wellness products.”

Arbonne products are specifically formulated to meet the needs of people with different skin types, in addition to being hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, and dye and chemical-fragrance free. Therefore, with a passion for Arbonne skin care, Jennifer tells all:

Q: As you wholeheartedly jumped on board, not wanting to “miss the train” with Arbonne International, what has been your greatest reward thus far?

A: I am very blessed! I am in the business of changing lives. I take pride in helping others look and feel great, achieve their lifelong goals, find hope, faith, leadership, and belief in themselves. I LOVE that! It’s always been a dream of mine to change other people’s lives while providing financial security for my growing family. Plus, I have the opportunity to do something that I truly love and work with my closest friends and family! It’s so much fun and very rewarding.

Q: What is a typical day in the life of an Arbonne independent consultant?

 A: With Arbonne, you have to be willing to talk to people, meet people that you do not know, and share Arbonne’s revolutionary products and amazing opportunity.  I am definitely a talker. I talk to people everywhere I go, including my kid’s school, the market, department stores, my salon, etc. I love meeting new people and sharing my discovery of Arbonne with them. I am also a great listener. I listen for the things that people want and need out of life, and show them how Arbonne can work for them. Aside from networking with others, I also teach and train new clients and consultants the proper uses of skin care and the benefits of using pure, safe, and beneficial products through in home presentations, skin care classes, or simply over a cup of coffee.

For those that want to work from home and/or earn additional income or a full time income working only part-time, I also teach and train them on how they can start their own home-based business with Arbonne just like I have done.

Q: Considering your route to success has taught you a great deal about life, what would you like to share with others?

A: As children we are taught to dream big. But then, as we get older, the reality of life settles in and we are told to “stop dreaming” and begin the long and painful task of working long hours, fighting traffic, and spending most of our days away from our families just to make ends meet. Many of us get sucked into the rat race of life and often feel like there is no escape and no possibility of ever getting ahead. What people do not realize is that there IS an answer to breaking that cycle! Arbonne has given people their lives back, including myself! It is an amazing opportunity that is truly changing lives. Arbonne is a tool to help people redesign their future and make their dreams become reality.

And of course, one of the best parts of discovering a new product is…shopping online! Enjoy.
