An Arbonne Afternoon

I spent the entire day surrounded by the amazing ladies [and gents] that comprise my Towerview family. It started off with a special musical score specifically to celebrate Palm Sunday. The children's choir made an appearance, complete with Jesus, played by Dan in lieu of Jarod's unfortunate and still-afflicting brush with poison ivy [feel better, Jarod!!]. For what it's worth, it was certainly a fresh take on Jesus: robe clad on a donkey..... with an Air Force haircut :). Haha. Pretty funny stuff, but I've gotta hand it to Dan for pulling it off! Church was followed by a very typical group lunch outing, this time at Bandana's. The Prescotts [both pairs!], Greers, Woods, Babots [2 of 3] and I chowed down on some soultry BBQ before splitting off to prepare for Jackie's Arbonne party. We coerced Tom & Jimmy into babysitting the three little ones at my house while the ladies headed off for an afternoon of pampering and product demonstration. [Thank you thank you thank you!!!]

little evan: already the heartbreaker
not to worry, miss cori & miss julie are already on it :)

First things first: Babies are always stealing the show, anywhere we happen to be. Evan is one of those babies in particular that not only solicits deserved ooohs and ahhhs, but can actually make you laugh at his whimsical little laughs and big toothless grins. He's too stinkin' cute, and so it didn't take long at all for all of us to do a little cuddling with him before getting started.



This was my first Arbonne party; I've been to just about all the rest, from Mary Kay to Avon to Thirty-One... and that's just the skin care/beauty products parties. That's not to mention the Pampered Chef, Premier Jewelry, etc., etc. I always like venturing into new product lines, especially when it's with a group of stellar gals. I joined in with Lara, Mo, Miss Diana, Julie, Jackie, and one of her friends, Beth. Our product rep, Chandre, was a bunch of fun; the bulk of our afternoon together was spent laughing. No complaints there.



hilarious afternoon!

hello, mutant fruit?!

We started off with some footscrubs. If I took nothing else away from today, I will tell you that footscrubs... are.... awesome. :)  We followed that with a round of different facial treatments, and while I didn't buy anything today, you can bet a good deal that I'm going to once I have a chance to read my way through then entire product catalog. Thank you again, Jackie, for the invite and for hosting such a fun afternoon! Oh, and thanks for the food, even if I did consume a mutant grape today. Hah.  I rounded out the day with an evening service back at the Tower, centered mainly on the introductory video to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, the next church-wide endeavor on which we'll all be embarking together. I'm pretty excited - I've heard nothing but incredible testimonies from people who've completed the entire program.

We're back home now, and I thiiiiink it's about time for a certain little gal to get a bath and call it a night.
Sydni might go to bed, too. Haha. Joking, joking.

Here we go, week. Bring it!
