Arbonne

My family has incredibly sensitive skin - and eczema - which makes buying any type of product for my family EXTREMELY difficult.  Carlye is getting older, and starting to think about makeup.  Nathanael is getting older, and starting to have problems with acne.  I'm getting older and starting to get bags under my eyes, age spots and wrinkles!  All of these combined together had me start looking for a better product for my family.  I found Arbonne - and no, I'm NOT selling it!  But I'm so in love with this product I have to tell y'all about it.  Arbonne is an all natural, gluten free, completely clean product and it is phenomenal!  I have noticed a huge difference in my face and skin since I started using it 5 weeks ago.  I just ordered the acne line for my kids, so I'll let you know how that goes.  I LOVE that what I am putting on the largest organ in my body is now as good for me as what I'm trying to put IN my body.  Crazy fact - did you know that in the US we have only banned 4 ingredients from being used in cosmetics?  The European directive (which Arbonne is under) bans 14,000 (or was it 16,000?) ingredients from being used in their cosmetics and facial products.  How crazy is that!!  

Anyway, I had an Arbonne party at my house on Friday night, and I had so much fun with the table decorations.  I love fall, and since Halloween is over I was able to pick up Fairy Tale pumpkins and fall flowers for $3 a piece!  That made it so much fun to decorate!  We had pumpkin muffins, fruit cups, veggie cups (dip in the bottom, veggies on top) and chocolate covered strawberries.  I served Mom's Spiced Cider because it just really made it feel like fall.  It was a fun evening.  (I know the colors are odd, I think it was the lighting when the picture was taken)




Today I am thankful for warm baths and rest.  I have had a yucky stomach ache since about two o'clock this morning, and it is so nice to be able to take a bath and relax.  What are you thankful for?
