WHY Australia and New Zealand?

You all  know there is a lot of excitement all around about Australia and New Zealand launching Jamberry for everyone. I personally am especially excited because both places have a very special place in my heart! I thought I'd share a bit about why I am so personally jazzed about it!

My little sisters are twins, and I love them both dearly. One of the two studies geophysics, and her doctoral studies took her to Wellington, New Zealand, and there she stayed! She loves her studies, loves the country, loves the people. A few years ago my husband and I had the chance to visit her, and to spend time in Australia along the way! It was an absolutely life-changing experience.

We try to immerse ourselves in the true place when we have the chance to travel. In Australia, we traveled the Great Ocean Road, but stayed in smaller towns to get to know the people and wilder places. We met the most amazing people, and everywhere we went felt so welcomed. We walked on a beach with a gentleman who had lived in the small town there his whole life, and walked his dog on the beach daily, swam in the ocean 9 months of the year, and caught his nightly dinner in the local estuary. We stayed at an ecolodge where the family that lives there does habitat and wildlife conservation and rehabilitation, got to explore their amazing conservation lands, and even got to help a bit with the animals that were being rehabilitated. We got tips on the tucked-away places to see the  Australia and its wildlife. We absolutely fell in love--it was so hard to leave. 

Our hearts were healed by the beauty of New Zealand, and the incredible sense of community everywhere we went. We were so lucky to have my sister as our guide. I adored the brew pubs and learned how to order incredible coffee (I am such a foodie). I loved the art absolutely everywhere. We learned the ins and outs of Wellington, and then had the chance to explore the South Island. We went on many treks that allowed us to really experience some of the amazing variety of the land, flora and fauna. New Zealand is such a unique place--has such a strong personality everywhere you go. (PS, it's my sister's birthday right now New Zealand time--I love you!)

It was weeks after we got home that I finally felt like I had processed everything we'd seen and experienced! I still dream of retiring in the little art community we stayed at in Australia, while my husband plans an organic farm commune in New Zealand!

I loved the people of both places so much, that I'm genuinely thrilled that the Jamberry love is spreading to them! To me, it's always about getting to let your personality shine on your nails in a healthier way. I'm glad Australia and New Zealand have that chance, AND that women and especially mums like me have the chance to build amazing businesses around this incredible company! I can't wait to share the opportunity and the amazing product with all of you! It's hard to believe early sign up is just ONE WEEK away! September fifteenth is so very close!
