You know with some chin implants and a nose job that girl could look like Ivanka.

She’s pretty goddamn traumatized and it’s all so fucked up I’m still having trouble processing it all. Since the adoption isn’t final she still lives with my parents (my dad is a stickler for that) so when they came to interrogate her lastnight it was at my parents’ house where she is currently living - I received no…

This is absolutely fucking reprehensible of the sheriff because he knew full well that people would set out to find this woman. I am still seething from a possibly illegal interrogation that happened to my daughter lastnight that made have a fucking breakdown and I WAS NOT PRESENT AT ALL AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS…

I celebrated five years sober on Wednesday. It still feels surreal sometimes. My daughter wrote the most beautiful, touching note to me. It was the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. Been a rough week emotionally, these sexual assault revelations are super tough and bring up a lot of stuff. Hope everyone is doing okay.

A friend’s wife sells this shit and I’ve been added to and left her FB group twice. He messaged me asking if I’d start sharing her posts for it on FB and I was like, uhhhh, that stuff isn’t really my taste.

A long time ago, but not in a galaxy far far away, I had an Arbonne lady get super pissed at me that I wouldn’t let her set up a stand in the front of the major grocery store chain location I managed at. Why, she was a small business person just trying to help people out with natural cosmetics. She couldn’t understand…

My wife is the sweetest person in the world and unfortunately is seen as a mark for these MLM people. Whenever she gets invited I ask her “Are you going to be nice, or do you actually like what they’re selling?” Half the time she’s just going to be nice, so I tell her “How about we drop off a plate of cookies…

My old boss’s sister sold these clothes. And at least once a month if not more often, my boss would announce to our team (who was all woman plus one dude) that her sister was hosting an event to sell these clothes “directly to you guys!” She would announce how her sister hosting in her own home was because that is how…

Or when they completely takeover every craft fair in town. My high school has a yearly fair that’s always been a huge deal and tables sell out a year in advance for vendors, but looking at the message board for it on Facebook it looks like it’s just going to be an MLM Bonanza. I used to love craft fairs because I love…

Current related complaint I have: When did every holiday craft fair turn into am MLM bonanza? I used to freaking love craft fairs, and my high school’s annual one is coming up soon, but every post on the discussion board is different vendors asking if they have this or that company represented already, and I don’t…

I’m not even sure if I’d put on a combo like that on a day when I don’t need to leave the house and everything but two hideous things that don’t match are in the wash. What if there was a fire and you had to get out? Imagine being left with literally only THOSE clothes on your back? The horror!

Did a story for work on how MLMs target women, wanted to talk to some LuLa sellers. Specifically reached out to ones who mentioned being a “small business owner” on their social media and websites and asked if they wanted to chat about their product, how they got involved, why they think it’s so appealing to women to…

Girl, from the politics to the pyramid schemes and everything in between, give thanks every day you don’t have a fb. It is not aging well for users like me who signed up when I was just a wee 20-something looking for a MySpace alternative.

So many women I know (mostly loosely, from my college days) sell this shit. I’m pretty public about my life on social media (I’m a digital and magazine editor so my web presence is pretty necessary for my job) and I post about my work all the time and yet these women who I haven’t seen in person in like 5 years will…

I say this to a friend all the time “you are a 1099 employee of a huge corporation not a small business owner”. It pisses me off because she posts this shit all the damn time. It’s especially funny to me since her husband does actually run a small business.

Ugh. I hate MLMs. The worst is when these distributor people call themselves small business owners. And “Oh, you would rather shop at a large corporation than support a small business owner trying to support her family.” YOU ARE NOT A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. THAT IS A GIANT CORPORATION.

My SIL hosted a party at her house last year about this time. I went because I knew she’d have snacks and alcohol. All the clothes were ugly and the prices were ridiculous. I had a couple mimosas and then dashed out of there. The next day in the interminable hour where I sit in the church basement while my son is in…

oh god, I have a friend who has a real job making good $ and said she was going to start selling these clothes (it was gonna cost $6k up front and she was gonna convert a room in her house to do it). the other problem is that so many ppl are selling this crap on FB that the competition to sell to your friends/fam is…

I used to work in retail, low-end athleisure stuff that would be considered their competition. And not one of the stores I managed carried $20,000 in inventory. That’s a crazy amount.

A family member of a coworker recently started selling it. I remember the coworker one day saying “she just got approved for her small business loan.” I was horrified, you shouldn’t need a small business loan to sell cheap leggings out of your basement.
