I mostly grew up in a town any kid would consider heaven on earth- Hershey, PA. I was raised by an amazingly strong mother after my father died when I was just 6 years old. That left my mom, my sister, my two brothers and I. Eventually, my mother and I moved to Albuquerque, NM after my brothers and sister were grown. I longed to be back east so at the tender age of 18- I ventured out on my own to find myself on the east coast. I worked retail and waitressed. That's when I met my husband. Long story short- got married and I worked in restaurants and retail. When we decided to start our family, we knew I wanted to be a stay at home mother and raise our children. But after 9 years, I was feeling lost in their lives and needed one of my own. That's when I started my own skincare company through Arbonne and found financial freedom, the recognition I so longed for, and my self surrounded with intelligent, successful people. My journey is just beginning...
