Before July 21st, 2012

Before I tell you about July 21st, I must tell you little background history of it all. I have a B.A. in American Sign Language and have been interpreting for over 5 years now.  My husband and I have been married less than a year ( Oct. 8,2011). Married life is wonderful but with our standard income living, we would have a difficult time raising a child if we were to become pregnant.
      On a different note, I would also like to mention that in the past I have been an independent consultant with a networking company and it left a very unsatisfying feeling for me. I was by no means interested in doing something like it again and was content with my limited income potential to keep from going down that road again.
   My friend/aquaintance from CharlotteOne had sent a facebook text to me one day asking me to call her. When I did, it left me at her voicemail. Her voicemail message was something like this, " Hi this is Rachel with Arbonne International, please leave me a message ,....." When I heard, with Arbonne, I thought, oh no! That's what she's going to ask me.. to do a party for her! Little did she know at the time, I intentionally played phone tag with her to avoid the dreaded question asking me to host for her. In my mind, Arbonne was just some expensive name brand company and in order for me to get any products, I was going to have to convince my friends to buy something expensive.

Long story short, she convinced me to host a spa date but enticed me with $300 in free products without selling a thing. ( Later I found out, she took a hit/investment/chance on me). I was "sold" so I did it.
