A Small Business Bite

My wife works in human resources at a local Bakersfield business. Recently she's taken on a new opportunity in addition to her 9-5 job: independent consultant for Arbonne. Will she make lots of money doing this? Probably not doing it part-time, but we know a few in town that are making a very good living selling Arbonne products full-time.

We think Arbonne has some great products. They primarily offer heath, skin and well-being products. The products are all botanically based with few, if any, preservatives, artifical colors, salt, caffeine, etc. They do not test on animals either. The products work just as well as any others out there, but without all the harsh chemicals.

The company was founded in Switzerland, but all products are made in the USA. In fact, the home office is in Irvine, CA about a two and half hours south of us. So, it's great to be able to support a company that manufactures its products in the US and is a California Company.

Judy has already had some success and made some extra spending money. She just got her website up and running. I think she'll have a fun time doing this and I think she's off to a great start for 2008.
