Karis Williamson - Beauty Therapist
Hello to the beautiful people reading this.
Do you ever felt like you are fumbling your way thought life?
Yes? Well, I was in the same place as you.
I am Karis Williamson and at 17 I left school and did not know what I wanted to do with my
life.

I started a beauty therapy apprenticeship still not knowing what I wanted to do. I ended up loving it,
but I did not like working for someone else and working for minimum wage when I knew I was worth
so much more. I worked like this for 4 years, unhappy because I knew I could be offering clients
better services at a better price. So, I decided to go self-employed.
I was so nervous when I finally decided to go for it. All those horrible thoughts start to spin around in
your head like, have I done the right thing? Will anyone want to come to me for treatments? How
am I going to afford to live if this does not go well? But then something really changed my life.
My dad passed away unexpectedly, 3 weeks before I was supposed to go self-employed. That made
me have such a different outlook on life.
I started thinking that I could not let my life pass me by. I started thinking positively like, I could work
my own hours; use products I genuinely love, do the treatments I wanted to do, and knew I was good
at and give my clients their treatments for a better price too.
Let me tell you when you believe in yourself everyone else starts to believe in you too.
So, I started my journey and loved it! I started looking for the best products I could use in my
beauty business and stumbled across Arbonne products. I had never seen or used such good
products for such an amazing price before, an added bonus was that all the products were vegan
and cruelty-free! I decided to jump all in and became an Arbonne Independent Consultant too so I
could sell these amazing products whilst doing my beauty treatments. I decided that I could use
them doing facials, etc, and then sell them to the clients who loved them too.
So here I am two and a half years later, loving my life. Surrounded by an amazing Arbonne
community and my lovely clients in my beauty business too.
I never thought nearly three years later I would be this happy and grateful for everything that has
happened. It is amazing what changing your outlook on life can do.
