and one afternoon while working in my salon, one of my clients, NVP
Sheri Tautiva, came in for a cut and blow dry. She had been a client
for a few months and we had a lot of things in common, so we chat-

particular day, she mentioned she recruited herself into a skin care
company called Arbonne. Sheri explained the wonderful products and
opportunity of this exceptional company.

I had been down this road before with several different companies,
and was not really interested at the time. I have owned and operated
over seven salons from New York to Florida. I now own three Salons

and emotional toll. I did not want to set myself up to fail, but I had
