Octoberfest

www.naturaljen.myarbonne.co.uk

No....its nothing to do with beer....or Germany....but this month is my very own October-fest...because, well firstly its October...and secondly....the launch of the Arbonne Festive Range !! Excitement !! Ok, so it might be a little early to be decorating the tree, but Facebook clearly shows that we are all thinking about it. What with people writing Christmas cards and starting (or in some cases actually finishing!!) Christmas shopping...or should I be saying Festive shopping these days ? Who knows ! Who cares !! Santa's coming soon ! So I have ordered my catalogues, and all you clients will be receiving your own catalogue from me imminently.

However, I think I can sense sniffs of curiosity.... so let me drop some rather large hints....how about ladies perfumes...men's cologne (yum!)....stunning scented candles...vanilla body range ....The Festive range was launched just recently, at the Arbonne Annual Conference (right before James Cracknell spoke - or tried to - amidst the wolf whistles and mild hysteria!) last month. It actually was like kids at Christmas, rushing for testers of the scents and to try the make up colours, a lot of fun! I will be holding a festive launch this month, where people can pop along to try/test/touch some of the products over a vino - watch this space for your invite ! First one planned for London, provisional date of 19th October - SAVE THE DATE!

So, what else is on the Arbonne list this month? PWP, a testimonial and lets dip our toes into detox shall we?

PWP 

For all new clients, this stands for "Purchase with Purchase". I usually show clients how to shop for these after their initial order when they are thinking about a re-order and want to learn to navigate the web page themselves and how to find the deals and bargains! (Anyone needing a reminder, inbox me)

So, what is it this month? Women's daily power packs for just £30 (usually £74.00) with every £45 SRP (standard retail spend)...so you spend just £36.00 after a preferred client discount has been applied, or £29.25 as a consultant. Great value - the quality of these vitamins are phenomenal, and they are designed to be high absorption....as opposed to ...well....be "excreted" almost immediately through the body shall we say .... they are fabulous, so why not give them a whirl whilst they at a bargain price point ! They are also vegan and gluten free....

This Month's Testimonial - Men's RE9 

Again, I am turning to a client to put their experience into their own words...

"I decided to try Arbonne after attending Jen's London Launch. I liked the sound of the guy who is developing the serums (Dr Peter Matravers) and the fact that they contain no mineral oils/liquid parafidiums - it played on my mind. I liked the overall effect of my trial, so went on to purchase the full men's range and I'm glad I did! I have been using the product for three months now, and my shave is rash free and smooth and calm afterwards. I probably love the moisturiser the best, it feels great, and you can tell it's a luxury product....although I also find the after shave balm great, as it is so cooling and soothing after my shave! I use the full range religiously and will be re-ordering again soon. Also....I appear to be saving money...because my razor blades last approximately 2 weeks longer than they used to! Would I recommend to others? Yes, I would ...and already have!"Mr H, Middlesex


A great testimonial for the men's RE9 set...and yes its true...your razorblades actually do last longer....

Detox 

Yes I know I know...this is surely a contradiction, given that we are about to head in to the over indulgent season right? Well, all the more reason to embrace it now, flush your system out now....before you clog it all back up again !! I will hit you with it again in January.....As with the RE9 mask that I issued in August, I will mail all preferred clients some samples and information on the detox range with your Festive catalogue, so you can try for yourselves. This will include a "oh my god, it's a miracle"* hair mask. I absolutely love the detox range, for the body, this is totally the range for me and I use it daily. It is perfect after the gym and perfect for when you are run down from either being over indulgent or from burning the candle both ends.

Here is a little bit of information as a taster ....

Face and Body mask - This is the epitome of the way we expect a mask to look - bright GREEN. But there is good reason for it, as it contains blue and green algae which is packed full of antitoxidants and vitamins; Sea lettuce which is an extremely powerful antitoxidant; Ginger root which relaxes muscles. It is very good for skin problems (eg psoriasis**) as it is very healing and whilst stimulating (good for cellulite) is also soothing. 

I love this mask - apparently the redder you go, the more toxins you are carrying in your body ...oops. I mainly use for my face, as it calms down, yet lifts my problematic skin when I am over-tired and run down. Another Arbonne consultant uses it on her legs/thighs/midriff before a big night out, wanting the frock to fit as well as it can (who needs spanx?)

Exfoliating scrub - Contains 9 fabulous minerals - magnesium, zinc, sea fennel, hazel seed, grape seed, jojoba, sunflower, sea kelp, bladderwack. Also contains Vitmains E and F. Exfoliation is key to detoxing, because it stimulates your lymphatic system, which helps eliminate toxins. By exfoliating with this scrub, you are helping to break down cell walls around fat and get it moving....and it is then excreted through the body (eg sweating and the lavatory). If you are ill/tired/on medication exfoliation also helps to fortify your system.

Love love love this scrub .... it leaves your skin so soft and supple, especially followed by the 24 hour body moisturiser......

Gelee - This is a gloopy substance, that to me smells like lemon curd and feels like runny jam. It sounds disgusting...no? It isn't...its totally fabulous and I LOVE IT !! It contains botantical sea extracts and helps restore the skin's iconic balance. It contains lemon verbena (stimulating and good for antitoxidants), spirulina, Shea butter and green tea extracts. It flushes the cells of toxins (so good for cellulite) and is refreshing cooling. Known to be good for varicose veins, sunburn, after waxing, on flights and headaches ! It also contains spearmint, which creates a "tingle" when it touches your skin.


I particularly enjoy the gelee after exercise and after the sea soak bath - I love the tingle :o)

So that's it for Octoberfest, I'm going to get the Christmas tree and mince pies ready now, for my festive launch ! Thanks for reading folks, speak soon xx

** Recommended that the problematic areas are covered with skin conditioning oil in the first instance, and then covered with the mask
