After meeting Alyssa Cavallaro four years ago at a bridal show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I continued to follow her on social media (Instagram: @alyssabrianne) due to her honest, fun, and inspiring posts/stories! She is now a National Vice President at Arbonne and is selling the below products (click on the photos!). Please see my YouTube video for my honest review of six popular Arbonne products ABOVE and my Q+A session with Alyssa BELOW 🙂
Arbonne Independent Consultant
Q + A Session with Alyssa Cavallaro
JanettaRxMa (J): “What are the most popular Arbonne products? What are your top 3 favorite items?”
Alyssa (A): “Most popular products I would say fizz sticks, protein powder and RE9 skincare set. My faves are fizz sticks, CC cream, and protein!”
J: “What made you decide to leave your corporate job and start working for Arbonne full time?”
A: “I’ve been a consultant with Arbonne for 8 years now. About 1.5 years in, I was working full time for a marketing company and my boyfriend at the time (now husband) was playing baseball professional overseas. About 8 months into our relationship, he told me he was leaving to go to Italy for 7 months and asked if I would go over for a few months. I took a leave of absence from my job and spent the summer in Italy in 2013. While I was over there, I got a taste of time freedom and being in control of my day. I had no alarm clock, no boss, I was traveling all over Europe every weekend, and able to work my Arbonne business from wherever I was, from my cell phone. When I returned to the USA and went back to work I knew that working in corporate America was not something I wanted to do for the next 40 years of my life. So I worked hard to match my corporate America income with my Arbonne business and was able to leave corporate America in 2016. Since then, I have quadrupled my income and I get to spend my days how I choose.”
J: “What makes Arbonne so successful as a company?”
A: “Arbonne has been around since 1980 and our motto has always been pure, safe, and beneficial. We had clean products before it was cool or trendy to have clean products. We have always been vegan, non-GMO. gluten/dairy/soy-free. People trust our products because they trust our ingredient policy and our history. Also the culture of the company is one that anyone would want to be a part of. They really take care of their consultants and have created an inclusive community of like-minded, empowering, positive individuals from all walks of life no matter the age, race, education or background.”

- Key Ingredients: Ginseng, Green tea, Guarana, Taurine, Coenzyme Q10, Chromium, Riboflavin, Niacin

- Arbonne Advantage: Plant-powered, nutrient-rich products that are always Certified Arbonne Clean.
- JanettaRxMa Review: Since the product is not recommended if pregnant or breastfeeding (I am breastfeeding!), I gave the sticks to my twin sister (full-time IBM consultant and CMU MBA student) and little sister (Junior in High School). They absolutely loved the flavor and the boost of energy! My twin mentioned that she usually doesn’t like flavored water but she is enjoying the taste (no aftertaste too!).

- Arbonne Advantage: Naturally inspired, ultra-gentle products developed for absolute baby care – avoiding common skin irritants like artificial fragrances and harsh chemicals.
- JanettaRxMa Review: It truly is a non-greasy formula that glides on easily and absorbs quickly into the skin without whitening. I enjoy the fresh air with my baby girl in the carrier and my Shiba Inu walking beside us, so sunscreen is a must!
