Distillery opened in Couvet, Switzerland in 1797, it quickly remained more popular over wine amongst French soldiers as a disease preventative, but became a fashionable liquor amongst artists, writers, poets, and "Bohemia" of Paris. This was served in our silent auction room prior to the event and also to VIP guests following the fashion show by Lucid models. drinklucid.com

From event rep Melody Wiley: I truly believe your guests would be very interested in our company. Again, my sister, Stephanie, is one of my clients and a Lupus patient. Recently, after aggressive treatments to tame her symptoms, her skin began to show the negative effects from the medications; acne, blemishes, dark spots, etc...and she began to loose confidence in her appearance. Within 24 hours of using Arbonne's skincare line, she noticed, a brighter complexion. And her skin's texture and appearance improved within a week! And within 10 days, her skin was smoother, clearer, firmer, and brighter. Stephanie's testimony is very similar to the stories my Client's share with me everyday. And I'm so excited about the opportunity to share a product that can provide positive results. Also, with the holiday season creeping around the corner, our extensive holiday products are sure to help everyone with their holiday shopping.
