You disgust me. There are so many easy workarounds. Off the top of my head, you go to the party store and buy a half-dozen balloons that say “Happy Birthday Junior!”, and carry those home with the barrel. Anybody looks at you, you just shrug, and blammo! You’re a good dad rather than a glutton. The Cheezies are for a…

Meh, it’s okay. “They’re Real” by Benefit is also okay. I’ll always just go right back to good old $5 “Great Lash,” especially now that they have the big brush.

I’m more direct: ‘I don’t like mixing friendship with commerce, it makes me uncomfortable.’

YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES! I love how these companies will talk about how they “empower” women and create “support networks for female entrepreneurs”, yet I don’t ever see these companies fighting for wage equality for women, paid maternity leave or more affordable childcare. Probably because if these things were to…

Yeah, weirdly, someone I know is another “success” story. She’s a single mom of 3 so my god does her story look great. I was always wondering how she did it because she doesn’t seem to have any more or less success party wise than everyone else, but this kind of makes more sense, if like the company (or whoever signed…

OMG YOUNIQUE. I have a person on my instagram that sells this stuff, and like she is NOT good at makeup. If you can’t take a good makeup pic, then don’t! Just fucking take a cute set up photo of the product itself. It makes me irrationally mad whenever hers pop up because the photos are just so terrible.

It just all sounds so much like Scientology.

I know someone who started selling Lularoe about 2 years ago. She had to buy around $6000 in inventory to start with. With that kind of money, you could start your own legit small business.

Ladies, please, no. We don’t use phrases like “pyramid scheme”. Kindly refer to it as “multi-level marketing” going forward. Sincerely, Higher up the Pyramid.

But that’s the thing - are those people really the majority of these sorts of things? Maybe they are.

There was a blog I was reading about a former Younique seller, and this was definitely encouraged by them. They were told to pretend anything new they bought was from money with selling the product, because “If people think you are successful they will be more likely to buy from you, and soon it won’t be a lie”.

I have a friend that recently started selling Monat. And, based on the pictures, it really did help her hair and her scalp. And, I can understand using a product that helps you. But, then why do you have to start selling it yourself (“I’m only doing it for the discounts and because I really believe in the product!”),…

Sweet jesus, do I respect your choices here. I work with a chick who WILL. NOT. LET ME. LEAVE her Lularoe facebook group. I keep trying and she keeps re-adding me. When I told her I wasn’t into supporting MLMs, she was *very offended* and has assured me that she’s made back all of her money and then some.
Great. Good…

MLMs are so evil in that they target people who really need money, and get sucked in by these empty promises, often going bankrupt as they try to fulfill their unrealistic obligations to the parent company.

Also, if they have no interest in protecting their consultants area and income (i.e., they will sign anybody up as a consultant even if they already have too many consultants in the area and nobody’s making any money), then they’re definitely a pyramid scheme.

OH my! I just moved out of the suburbs and I was so confused about luluroe! I never actually saw it in person but it was constantly posted about on the local “moms” page and tons of comments would always follow like “congrats” and “looooove luluroe” and such which just smelled like planted comments to me. I can only…

There are few things funnier to me then when a pyramid scheme declares it is not a pyramid scheme. The funniest of course being Amway. The term was invented to describe their business model and yet they went to their grave saying they weren’t one. So, damn funny and honestly pathetic.

Ok, I do kind of feel bad for women that have losts thousands of dollars, but, I mean, come on ladies. There have been multiple women who have sold LulaRoe who have said they were told to buy thousands and thousands of dollars worth on inventory, they were encouraged to max out their fucking credit cards, even sell…

Not all of their clothes are that hideous — my mom has a pair of plain blue Lularoe leggings. But you can buy plain blue leggings anywhere, not just from the trunk of your Facebook friend Linda’s car.

Why is this so juicy??? I could read about this “scandal” forever.
