Alience, One more thing..In hindsite, the whole reason why I went to a mtg w/ my friend is because I thought EXACTLY like you. I'm so grateful I went & jumped in, never to look back..

Please educate yourself before you open your mouth & shoot your friend down on something you know NOTHING about. Pyramids schemes are illegal. Network marketing or multi level marketing is taught in economics in college now. It is simply a distibution system that cuts out the middle men & makes it possible for regular people like ME & your friend to own their own business. Arbonne sells a product. Pyramids do not. Look up the dsa.org. It is the Direct Selling Association. They are the watch dog of all MLM companies to make sure they are on the up & up. Arbonne won the award from the DSA for the best training in all MLM companies =) Even Donald Trump said on a talk show that if he had to start over he would get into network marketing. I am an educated person & have my nursing degree. Many many Drs & salons carry Arbonne. If it was illegal, a Dr wouldnt put their carrers on the line! I am sad to see that some people still don't understand the concept. It is the purest safest way to make $$ without cheating the consumer. What skin care do you use? Chanel for example? My upline was a manager for them for 7 yrs! Trust me, she was a tough sell, but the products & the sytem proved themselves & now she gets paid everytime her customers reorder, because the MIDDLEMEN are cut out. She isnt just working for Chanels & Macys dreams anymore. when you buy Estee Lauder or shop at the healthfood store, you pay the advertising costs, wherehousing cost, etc. We as consumers are SUCKERS!!! The big stores WANT us to think MLM is a pyramid. In all actuality it is opposite of a pyramid. Anyone can get to the top with hard work & dedication. Please respect your friend. She has found an incredible opportunity for her family. She is probably extremely upset at your uneducated response, but doesnt know enough to back herself up. Since you care so much about your friend. Why dont you go to a meeting with her to really check it out so you can see what its about. Sadly, i think of people like you as dream stealers. I had many when I started my business, but I pushed forward knowing they werent going to build my retirement. In MLM, you only move forward by helping others & Arbonnes philosophy & products & people have changed my life in an incredible way for 4 yrs so far. Please share this with your friend. It ended up a big ramble & I am not as upset as I was when I started it. I knwo you mean well for your friend. Take care, Shannon

"I wouldn't buy it again unless I had money to burn." for ANYONE who has priced out the cost of anti-aging, they would see that Arbonne is cheaper especially for the quality & results you are getting. Even cheaper than Clinique w/ the discount which by the way why would anyone pay full price or think the discount was a bad deal. Has anyone noticed TONS of the drug store products have gone to OVER $30?? Sorry you have dealt w/ annoying consultants. not all are. BUT the reason why they are so excited to share the opportunity is because its a no fail biz as long as your not a quitter & the products are incredible. With this economy I have had 4 customers call me ready to jump in & build.. After recommending the products to friends after loving them for a couple of years they figure why not? And, we just got a 15% raise... This company is doing something right!

I was so hoping this thread would DIE...;) Confused, don't bother anymore with this! What you posted was fantastic & there is no need to defend when people think what they want to think w/o any real knowledge! Has "skin deep" updated their site to show that Arbonne removed the parabens to make people happy EVEN though they were used in amts proven to be safe? Also, ANY ingredient Arbonne uses IS in amts PROVEN to be safe & beneficial. This comment isnt pointed towards anyone in particular BUT Arbonne is an extremely reputable company & someone who isnt a chemist, botonist, scientist etc shouldnt bother trying to put them down. It makes one sound ignorant. Back to work!

Great! Give her a call & start using it immediately!! I used to be a nurse & have recommended that product to many (burns, scars, cuts, excema). I can tell from your pic that now is a perfect time to start it. ;)
