No offense to snow and rain and sleet, but California sunshine always hits the spot. (I promise, I’m not biased. I mean, I wasn’t born here or anything—but I certainly call it home now.)<br /><br />Fresno marked the final FC5 Road Tour stop. Not that it's the end of the road for us by any means. It's quite the opposite: We've started something special with FC5, and the excitement is going to keep going, and going, and going...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWTIKr5U-MMgFs8GE89zM7E56SSsszRJhMWA3I_Sxm741BN6nxUhfl5whmLqHAK37dvYmumJ_4e2Rrc86L8qXrAkC35nsbx8UQxFIKGfI3I8sDR7bKu_eqSH5SDaE6Rv4kp_piswiepHvl/s1600-h/n610142010_1718304_5910908.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWTIKr5U-MMgFs8GE89zM7E56SSsszRJhMWA3I_Sxm741BN6nxUhfl5whmLqHAK37dvYmumJ_4e2Rrc86L8qXrAkC35nsbx8UQxFIKGfI3I8sDR7bKu_eqSH5SDaE6Rv4kp_piswiepHvl/s320/n610142010_1718304_5910908.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322819311728274178" border="0" /></a><br />We had a lot of fun here. Our local volunteers were fabulous and brought lots of excitement and energy to the event. Chairs were full for every presentation. Greg Chambers presented the FC5 products and husband-and-wife team, Kristin and Daryl VanderVeen shared the first Opportunity Presentation. They were followed by Carleeta Nelson at 8, who flew all the way from Oklahoma to present! (And we thought we were hot stuff by coming down from Seattle.)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis9fd4TDuofQCHfSNvvGiFzbT2JlvbNdh-WCPJIPow4RW6mPEe6ng2pV1Tf15B3BedhlkF2nFxTkB4sRtrVBIuj1pKRIgagQDUU6ZlWQ-B8T85zAOsN68TYghaffidY-lJV1_NooXQO1OM/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis9fd4TDuofQCHfSNvvGiFzbT2JlvbNdh-WCPJIPow4RW6mPEe6ng2pV1Tf15B3BedhlkF2nFxTkB4sRtrVBIuj1pKRIgagQDUU6ZlWQ-B8T85zAOsN68TYghaffidY-lJV1_NooXQO1OM/s320/005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322820410846473138" border="0" /></a><br />Standing ovations? Like you never saw before.<br /><br />There was a record amount of guests, special thanks to city coordinator Beth Gagliardi who made sure it all happened. Photo opportunities at the arch were non-stop between presentations, everyone wanted pictures of their teams and pictures with Carleeta, Kristin and Daryl, and Beth.<br /><br />Attendees were so thankful that Arbonne came to Fresno and the attendance showed it. People drove down from San Francisco and many others from farther away. I think it's safe to say that a good majority are all set to attend NTC. I even overheard a few whispering about sneaking into the trailer so they could hitch a ride there, maybe catch an early glimpse of David Cook. Or David Cassidy.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzu_st9xaMH2-BYNT6NvWj5LhQWMVLvWig15FSfpfXWD-OZV39WU5YsRfUPOQkWy9bTZ-qjo9SA2DZQVg9vPJvtoZ4bZORFrQ-WowRE3nDPbBRLnAT4xFpJvjHbzQnzVHsquvI5U-JvM8u/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzu_st9xaMH2-BYNT6NvWj5LhQWMVLvWig15FSfpfXWD-OZV39WU5YsRfUPOQkWy9bTZ-qjo9SA2DZQVg9vPJvtoZ4bZORFrQ-WowRE3nDPbBRLnAT4xFpJvjHbzQnzVHsquvI5U-JvM8u/s320/002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322823234268350882" border="0" /></a><br />We even had a great turnout with the Spanish presentations.

A fitting celebration for the Arbonne Experience Road Tour.<br /><br />And that's the recap. Like I said earlier, how does one put the finishing touches on such an amazing experience? Certainly not by writing "The End." Because it's not. There's still so much to do and see.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with the giant white truck with models on the trailer, FC5 products, and a phenomenal speaker named Rita Davenport.

It's a great venue; very spacious and nice, perfect for FC5 booths. We had a different set up than usual, with the product and opportunity displays set up behind the presentation area.

Jill Ellis and Dianne Partee spoke at 6 and Rita went on at 8. Our volunteers were more than eager to help and were such a great group—it seems we say this all the time, but the volunteers are amazing! Some even volunteered at multiple locations! It's incredible that they all take time out of their busy schedules to come learn about FC5 and help run the show.

There were even many guests who joined us just for the evening to experience Arbonne for the first time. It's great to see how excited they are about this life-changing opportunity.

So beautiful. We got to explore Pike Place Market, take a ferry to Bremerton and Bainbridge Island, crane our necks to see the Space Needle, and visit the underground tours and the Piroshky Russian Bakery.<br /><br />There's one more event left (well, two if we count NTC—and I fully expect you to be there!). It's kind of bittersweet to be at the end. We've seen so much, and yet...there's still so much to see. NTC will be the perfect grand finale to this breakthrough Road Tour.

At each city, we're blown away by the attendance. We can always count on bigger crowds. So it's a good thing Richard has each hotel's event person on speed dial, because sure enough...we needed another hundred chairs set up before the first presentation even started.

Well, when it snows in Boston, it pours Consultants. Really!

Nestled in-between a bunch of skyscrapers, every room has a great view of the city. There are about 40 or so floors and when you’re in the lobby looking straight up, it’s impressive. No kidding.<br /><br />Atlanta had one of the best turnouts yet. And I’m not just saying that because our staff was pleasantly surprised with incredibly tasty homemade cookies and dessert bars from local NVPs. (Southern hospitality rules. Thanks, Atlanta!) Everything was in sync from the moment registration opened all the way until Rita’s closing remarks. She sure does know how to work a crowd.

What most of you don't get to see, outside of this ridiculously well-written blog, is how the event operates. As soon as the Arbonne truck arrives in each new city, staff members instantly get to work unloading and setting up. It takes two teams; both led by Executives from the Home Office. The first team wakes up before the crack of dawn (and you have to keep in mind that we're used to Pacific time which is even earlier) to unload the truck and carefully assemble the immaculate display cases that make you pause and ask,<br /><br />"Nordstrom who?"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfpzfUHcAWuqQYATQ2TgYtTeUyTzb5mMmJ1JWIp-azqPxy2AAG_JpN0-D6kAKG53TXjceCojCZaqcdl8DBubfOIDRVMC0kL8zEf1PAE0EFPPy_uaCXWTjC_5EQo9694HEIZgkk1elG5YV_/s1600-h/Consultants+FC5+booth.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfpzfUHcAWuqQYATQ2TgYtTeUyTzb5mMmJ1JWIp-azqPxy2AAG_JpN0-D6kAKG53TXjceCojCZaqcdl8DBubfOIDRVMC0kL8zEf1PAE0EFPPy_uaCXWTjC_5EQo9694HEIZgkk1elG5YV_/s320/Consultants+FC5+booth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306090294176441458" border="0" /></a><br />Then after getting all the different areas assembled, the next team takes over and puts the finishing touches on by loading and stocking FC5 product, preparing the registration materials, and finally, welcoming the crowds.

Not in the sense that there are palm trees and miles of traffic, but more so in that there’s a distinct Arbonne vibe. For some reason, people really “get” Arbonne here. This has been one of the epicenters of Arbonne activity for quite some time now. And while other regions of the country and world are quickly growing, building like crazy, and embracing the opportunity, there’s still something to be said about Oklahoma.

For being in the middle of the desert, there's sure a lot going on. And driving into town, we noticed </span><span style="font-size:85%;">an Arizona State Prison sign that said, "Do not pick up hitchhikers." That one was pretty easy for us to follow: Our truck is already full of Hydrating Eye Creme.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;">The PGA isn't the only big name that draws the crowds in Phoenix these days. There's also Rita Davenport. As the company president AND resident rock star, she really knows how to get Arbonne fans on their feet and ready to rock. Imagine what she could do with an electric guitar? Her sister Euphiazene was in the house, too, proving that southern belles and Arbonne go hand in hand.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLUNzBRXHBUD3tdxZsvF04oW8i1rcxTB0bvszVTtEchADv1RQmquAUhFW2wowcHqv63DxmI1FjhgSE22i3OKw173C6zFhezjqBVnLjN6x6uBghbkmhC2D53hr_8_Q20_th3U5Vp94H8ZFk/s1600-h/IMG_3951.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLUNzBRXHBUD3tdxZsvF04oW8i1rcxTB0bvszVTtEchADv1RQmquAUhFW2wowcHqv63DxmI1FjhgSE22i3OKw173C6zFhezjqBVnLjN6x6uBghbkmhC2D53hr_8_Q20_th3U5Vp94H8ZFk/s320/IMG_3951.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300463142850414210" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjioqRoaKXHZRLug60AbhyphenhyphenvNl_kcNu7a7rAKa0cuTODSlSRN9-_0-hygBOUBPk5ZBS5nyYTEiYCfpMCKV1oYVakFG0mVULEGRKKoDdt7qPFDzTjjC9jgoZeUJsZ3oWlzsfELTz85kDaWgPo/s1600-h/IMG_3867.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjioqRoaKXHZRLug60AbhyphenhyphenvNl_kcNu7a7rAKa0cuTODSlSRN9-_0-hygBOUBPk5ZBS5nyYTEiYCfpMCKV1oYVakFG0mVULEGRKKoDdt7qPFDzTjjC9jgoZeUJsZ3oWlzsfELTz85kDaWgPo/s320/IMG_3867.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300887669134363682" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The event was super packed. There were tons of people here. Think of NTC, just scaled down a bit.<br /><br />The ladies in attendance had a lot to say about FC5, including this gem, "Thank you for creating a dummy-proof product line. The product names are so telling. Purifying Cleanser + Toner purifies and tones!" (Mental note to self: Don't bring Consultants around the office too often, they might steal my job writing about the products.)<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUstpPXbeHfbxu3eGrQPHPUnfyKf3lDqtxU7z8_KPxUKHdmhTf5Nos1QA2uxU8G1V29-JDbEJgvwzaASjLYo4RulsbmEaN2IX9wEToOhPFf4P949iaJ9KzK8uCavmI5EmuEulsGJ_7jV3j/s1600-h/IMG_3814.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUstpPXbeHfbxu3eGrQPHPUnfyKf3lDqtxU7z8_KPxUKHdmhTf5Nos1QA2uxU8G1V29-JDbEJgvwzaASjLYo4RulsbmEaN2IX9wEToOhPFf4P949iaJ9KzK8uCavmI5EmuEulsGJ_7jV3j/s320/IMG_3814.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300463641553256578" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">There were a lot more men at this venue, too.

I think we're getting the hang of this format. I like seeing what's going on in the field. Meeting excited Consultants and Clients. Seeing the reactions. Helping to spread the love. And most importantly, spending way too much money on overpriced chocolate bars at these hotels. Dang.

Carlsbad. We've just started this phenomenal nationwide Road Tour to promote the new FC5 line, and everyone here is amped up. Staff from every department at the Home Office have volunteered to help support the tour, along with several local Arbonne Consultants, who are possibly more amped up than us. And even though we're only 60 miles south of headquarters, it feels like we're with Jack Kerouac and off for the adventure of our lives.<br /><br />So, the Arbonne truck rolled into Carlsbad, just north of San Diego, and we took La Costa Resort by storm. If you've never been, La Costa is a high-end resort with perfectly manicured lawns and south-of-the-border romantic architecture. It's the place where couples in your neighborhood go every other weekend for drinks and maybe a round of golf. (And if they're lucky, a massage.)<br /><br />Once we arrive, we start setting up the booths and display cases. And believe it or not, it’s looking even better than in Anaheim. The scent of fresh science is wafting through the air and the soundtrack is playing and things are humming.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Ls1rwh177GqrixgRyuuChamKa_aZwU2TbCdlrWTiBfc-F03T9_0yRFpVSyuMy6XGKA82UEVO1XunMutEutUIq4XAzd2XGaq55NrOB_6MHIDmaHzSkOzh6b8vU0LFsdfiQIRww_BS0oHk/s1600-h/Shot-of-Booths.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Ls1rwh177GqrixgRyuuChamKa_aZwU2TbCdlrWTiBfc-F03T9_0yRFpVSyuMy6XGKA82UEVO1XunMutEutUIq4XAzd2XGaq55NrOB_6MHIDmaHzSkOzh6b8vU0LFsdfiQIRww_BS0oHk/s320/Shot-of-Booths.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299724813650350946" border="0" /></a><br />After the first round of volunteers showed up and went through the training session and facilities tour with Director of Creative Services and FC5 mastermind, Mark Patterson and Sr. VP Warehousing & Distribution, Richard Estalella, it was on.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMBJHh0Fj0jJ4UNd9vIZaJTTn0kdoiCH8cJFqBVcdyIV-vNBOhFQ-DsrC1z8H8olSPfFOOFHO_NyM8VoIyM3CMnn9gOibdd8yKgLvn0aq6_jSLKSOCghbuWsVZGTzH3MB1hToPjTr6Oh-C/s1600-h/MP.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMBJHh0Fj0jJ4UNd9vIZaJTTn0kdoiCH8cJFqBVcdyIV-vNBOhFQ-DsrC1z8H8olSPfFOOFHO_NyM8VoIyM3CMnn9gOibdd8yKgLvn0aq6_jSLKSOCghbuWsVZGTzH3MB1hToPjTr6Oh-C/s320/MP.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299724297536942082" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The crowd had arrived.

They're that confident that this new line will attract new people. They can’t wait to start sharing the wealth. Why, one Consultant I met brought two inactive Consultants out of hiatus just by bringing them to the event. They walked out after placing a big FC5 order on the Web site.<br /><br />And in-between the product testing, there were superb Opportunity Presentations from a few local leaders, Amme and Chris Weilert, and Sandra and Ted Tillinghast. It was really cool to hear all of their stories of success and trial.

Over one thousand Clients, Consultants and guests showed up at the Hyatt and found a truck and trailer full of new FC5 products, a gigantic ballroom decked out with flat-screen TVs playing FC5 videos, computer stations featuring the new FC5 site, ultra-modern white display cases that bring shame to anything at Macy’s and Nordstrom, and hip music blaring through the loud speakers.<br /><br />It was like the birthday party you always wanted. Only, in a bigger house, with a better soundtrack, and your entire high school showed up.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmk3Dpzqp-fvkpt4rqhfeCe6Bt_W9v73sBUUIuaC0qtK7VoeOzMpHgz_RFbA0gxzNoCZ_k4DH_PwMrfZPOTGORjxJuUAPT8jXLXbGYySJBQezGz3LvsLopJPo1REZhu4mAp80oVbpdjgBm/s1600-h/Picture+10.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmk3Dpzqp-fvkpt4rqhfeCe6Bt_W9v73sBUUIuaC0qtK7VoeOzMpHgz_RFbA0gxzNoCZ_k4DH_PwMrfZPOTGORjxJuUAPT8jXLXbGYySJBQezGz3LvsLopJPo1REZhu4mAp80oVbpdjgBm/s320/Picture+10.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300931829160087986" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Arbonne’s latest innovative introduction—FC5—is really making an impact. I wish I would’ve counted how many times the same group of women came back to try the Ultra-Hydrating Hand Crème (good thing we had dozens of boxes on hand). Or to pull the lid off the Nourishing Daily Shampoo just to get another whiff. Or to grab their friends with excitement and point the second Rita walked into the room.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5M_8j5LrItvQqBpcEOLB7grSOf19ugHm-csQSNVujyZfwH33vSn0U9y75N5lpTFYBdTbbCuQLYq8TRGaJCNwO5J5vsZTgu686F6Kxw5ShNPmwHs4mV2xfmQe1FJ-VMoFucEw6O1_vCCcJ/s1600-h/Picture+9.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5M_8j5LrItvQqBpcEOLB7grSOf19ugHm-csQSNVujyZfwH33vSn0U9y75N5lpTFYBdTbbCuQLYq8TRGaJCNwO5J5vsZTgu686F6Kxw5ShNPmwHs4mV2xfmQe1FJ-VMoFucEw6O1_vCCcJ/s320/Picture+9.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300931406328796802" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzUB9aKp0w3FPRGKHBVK0kzjaIlf53NrTcX2AVKb191J2CRvdR6DbvkfRfjDcQUMlVHsoWi1hv0urn4pJZiy4RUsZSqoiev51Q0GIh4HAgAmsXK_pJBLb5DrNlbppcXwX8HAOR1g79tvfr/s1600-h/Arbonne_Booth.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzUB9aKp0w3FPRGKHBVK0kzjaIlf53NrTcX2AVKb191J2CRvdR6DbvkfRfjDcQUMlVHsoWi1hv0urn4pJZiy4RUsZSqoiev51Q0GIh4HAgAmsXK_pJBLb5DrNlbppcXwX8HAOR1g79tvfr/s320/Arbonne_Booth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299484545384604034" border="0" /></a>And not only that, but local Arbonne field volunteers came to help answer questions and staff the booths. They were awesome. It’s easy to see why the business is in good hands, literally. And get this: One volunteer flew all the way here from Dallas just to get a head’s up on what to expect when the Tour hits Texas. Talk about dedication! Oh man. It’s one thing to volunteer in your own neighborhood. But to hop on a plane and jet across the country? Wow.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRYrEWKeICAu3DVEayknBnzmoNYPdOKfAzUgYPU9Zxly88r59ESa7AmyaVQ3kuxBqKVPML1Dlt_TbVcO979kHb53G7IGUowoj-OiLzBX3rzsfX_DUuHnfhqCjJ4KRMA27hke8xHAQDyLp3/s1600-h/Picture+11.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRYrEWKeICAu3DVEayknBnzmoNYPdOKfAzUgYPU9Zxly88r59ESa7AmyaVQ3kuxBqKVPML1Dlt_TbVcO979kHb53G7IGUowoj-OiLzBX3rzsfX_DUuHnfhqCjJ4KRMA27hke8xHAQDyLp3/s320/Picture+11.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300930669259384114" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is just the first stop of the company’s first major road tour. And by the looks of things, it’s going to be one gigantic party at every city.<br /><br />And that reminds me; I’d better grab my bag. I just heard the truck engine start up. Looks like we’re off to San Diego!<br /><br />Feel free to share your experiences and add your comments right here on the blog.
