Why did you become an Apriori Beauty Consultant (what intrigued you)?
There were a few things that originally intrigued me ... (1) Candace Keefe. I have been following Candace's life for some time and there are a couple things that I have noticed about her. First, she never accepts anything sub-par. She is extremely driven by the things that she believes in and never seems to take the easy road for the sake of it being easier! She devotes herself to knowledge, education, passion and charity. Second, she has played a key role in the development of the most amazing products I have ever used. She has taken that knowledge and experience to the next level with AB's products. Third, anything she touches turns to gold. Seriously, I know that Candace will be successful at anything she does, and I want to be along for the ride. (2) I have NEVER seen anything like AB's products before. AB is NOT about a facial cleanser and moisturizer. It is about producing and helping maintain healthy cells, from head-to-toe. This whole-istic approach is something new and needed. (3) Ground Floor Opportunity. You just can't beat being a part of a company from the very beginning - especially when you know it will be successful. The chance to be a part of the AB family right from the start is a once-in-a-lifetime deal! (4) The Foundation Apriority. This is amazing and I love it! Rather than the ultimate commissions going to the three Founding Partners of the company (which they very well deserve), that money is going to go to the Foundation Apriority ... a charity that will support women's initiatives. Love it.

What is your favorite Apriori Beauty product, and why?
AUGH! Don't make me pick! Seriously, when I first tried the products, my favorites were the Enzyme Activated Micro Scrub and the Creme Cleanse. A month in, I simply couldn't (and wouldn't!) put the Derma Firm Illuminator down. I walked around with it night and day and my husband kept telling me that I looked like I was shaving my face. My current favorite combo is the Eye and Lip Age Eraser and the Firming Complex. In all honestly, I don't leave home without any of the products. My skin looks and feels so different when I'm using them all together!

From this experience, what is one piece of advice you would like to share with other Consultants striving to promote to Manager?
Conduct your business with integrity and figure out how to motivate yourself. If you look for motivation in your upline or other outside influences, your success won't last long. Determine early why and how you plan to be a part of Apriori Beauty ... and then remind yourself every day your reasons!
