Meet Laura

Over the years, Fashion Trends and Friends has highlighted interesting women and friends we’ve met along our blogging journey. We’re as much about friends as we are about fashion. Fashion is always more fun when shared with girl friends! Last week, I shared that Laura and I met on Instagram. We talked about Fashion Over 50. To read that post and watch our conversation click HERE. Today we thought it would be fun to share more about Laura with you. We think you’ll agree that Laura is super fun, very motivational and inspirational!

1.  Tell us about yourself?  What are your interests and passions?

“My true passion is helping others live their healthiest life but also my growing family. Lake life & sunsets feed my soul but I do love learning about other people and what ignites them.”

2.  Why and when did you get started on Instagram/social media?

“I originally started on FB & IG when my kids were in college to keep track of them. However, when I started my business in Arbonne 5 years ago I realized the importance of social media to help connect and meet other people who might be needing what we have to offer. So, I went public and became intentional with growth and have met a ton of people who I have also been blessed to meet in real life from all over the country.”

3.  When and why did you get started with Arbonne?

“Oh gosh, mine is an interesting story. I had been using and loving the products for 9 years before I ever said yes to the business. I had giant chip on my shoulder called ego and didn’t want to be the lipstick lady at all of the pool parties. However, my life took a turn when I had lost my BFF to brain cancer. I couldn’t help but wonder why her and why not me and more importantly if her, could I be next? I already knew that Arbonne follows a very strict ingredient policy. So, while Sissy (BFF) was on her journey, I kept noticing that a lot of ingredients she needed to avoid lined up with Arbonne’s Do Not Use list. I had “ ah ha” moments all over the place and quickly switched my brand completely. I then felt compelled to teach others to be just as mindful of what they were putting in and on their bodies and the importance of clean products and especially clean eating. Now, I am happy to say that I actually love being known as the Fizz stick lady at all of the pool parties.

4.  What’s the best part of being in your 50’s?

“I would say for me it’s all about being in good health. Having the energy to run and play with our grandchildren. Also, having confidence and believing in myself while knowing that I am enough to accomplish all that I want to.”

5.  What advice do you have for women our ages?

“Make sure to hydrate, get plenty of sleep, eat clean & cut back on sugar (it’s harmful to our skin) and wear sunscreen daily. Don’t be afraid to start something new either. I started my business 5 years ago at 52 and while nervous at first, I have never looked back. It’s never too late to try something new and live your best & healthiest life possible.”
Be well,

Laura 

I love that Laura ends with “it’s never too late to try something new and live your best and healthiest life possible”. That totally aligns with my mantra of: You’re never too old! It’s never too late! Wear what you love! You can follow Laura here: Instagram: Malibumom
