🫒California Travels ~ First Leg ~ Santa Monica🫒

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Beam & Branch Realty TREC #547752

What a beautiful trip it has been thus far as we travel the gorgeous state of California. I earned this trip from Oliveda, the waterless, clean, and, fantastic line of products that I have fallen in love with. After this first leg of my trip to Santa Monica and meeting our founder, Thomas Lommel, I am even more in awe.

When I found out I qualified, my husband said, "Why don't we just make it an extended trip and explore California?" The plan then developed from there. I will be sharing the various legs of the trip in different posts. Come along and enjoy the trip.

Let me just tell you how Oliveda spoiled us rotten! We had a first-class, five-star dinner on the beach complete with olive trees that lined the table area that had to be hauled in just for our event.

We were treated to excellent cuisine, olive-infused drinks (which were fabulous), and a warm, genuine welcome to California. Connecting with other like-minded women (and a few men), was uplifting and encouraging. I truly cannot tell you the outpouring of support that was felt throughout this event.

Thank you, Olive Tree People for creating a company that is collaborative, fun, and, provides products that I can use with confidence. Those of you who follow me know how important clean, healthy products are in my life. And, not only do I get to use these products, I now have a stream of income that is sensational and, an entire group of new friends from all over the country.

We are launching into Canada on June 21st so let me know if you have any Canadian friends who want to be on the ground floor of this opportunity. Seriously, a great company. 

Stay tuned for the second leg of this trip ~ Morro Bay!

I love Santa Monica. California is such a beautiful state. Not another place on earth has such amazing diversity...ocean sand, mountains, deserts and whatever climate you call San Francisco...lol

Based on everything you have shared about the company, Dr. Paula McDonald I am not surprised to see such an elegant table setting and celebration with food, drink, and fellowship with like-minded people. 

And soon, as much as I am not a fan of a camera when I am in front of it, I am blessed and honored that you will soon be in San Jose, and we will meet!
