My issue is that I feel personally bad when friends/acquaintances seek me out to buy something they're shilling because, often times, I'm not interested at all but feel awful saying no to them. Like I really don't want really expensive candles or crazy expensive jewelery. Idk, that's my problem with it. I just feel like I have to buy something (because you're right, I do want to help their bottom line!), so that's where I hate it. And just because it seems like everyone is selling the same stuff now. But you're right, it's nice to help a friend and that's not why it's hard.

I love Beauty Counter for skin care stuff. I'm intrigued by Jamberry but haven't tried it. And I just signed up to be a beach body coach - mostly for my own discount, but if things really work out for me with the program I'm starting, I'll share with others. We'll see (fingers crossed.) I'm definitely going to check out some of the others you've shared. What a great idea to put these out there.Steph Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995001313606121231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-48479901333180724732015-12-13T11:00:52.880-05:002015-12-13T11:00:52.880-05:00I don't mind these sort of "side hustles&...I don't mind these sort of "side hustles" either unless they hound me. Thankfully most know I won't buy unless I am super into it! I do like Scentsy and Beach Body is really inspiring but WAY out of my price range.

Particularly the one who keeps sending me direct messages on FB asking me if I want to lose weight. I always want to respond and say, "are you trying to tell me something?! Are you calling me fat? Do I look like I need to lose weight?!" or some other equally awkward response because.... really?! I haven't ever responded and you keep sending me stuff implying I need to lose weight. sara [at] journey of doinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328180529729262449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-67347112266763201922015-12-12T20:44:34.175-05:002015-12-12T20:44:34.175-05:00The ones that scare me are the Essential Oil MLMs....The ones that scare me are the Essential Oil MLMs. Salespeople should not be telling people what to do with EOs. They're dangerous when used incorrectly. I had a friend diffusing something that could cause seizures in kids. namely her kids. I just keep telling people "please don't drink them unless a trained aromatherapist goes over things with you." I like pampered chef stuff but none of my friends sell them. I would be cool with jamberry if I could figure out how to get them to lay flat! I have super cute wraps to use. The things I don't like about posh and scentsy is that I'm super scent-sitive (lol) so I never know if the smells will be ok or not. I can't smell through the computer screen, though maybe technology will get there one day!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059524266318810180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-23351776707295556682015-12-12T12:14:35.829-05:002015-12-12T12:14:35.829-05:00I don't think I've heard of any of these e...I don't think I've heard of any of these except for maybe Scentsy and Tupperware.

My cousin's wife sells it and I'm glad she's doing something for herself (they have a severely disabled child and she spends a good part of her life attending to his needs). Eventually I'll buy something. Once my debit card stops screaming bloody murder.
