I don’t know how I missed the MLM marketing post, but love that it was a discussion! I’m so sick of that and it was nice to hear others express the same frustrations. I’ve seen so many of my friends get taken advantage of by those companies (and also try to pressure me into buying stuff).
That said I did buy a pair of those leggings everyone is on about, just to have something comfy to wear around the house that made my booty look nice. I bought them from the one person who didn’t harass me about it, though.
Kat, thanks for the “Start Here”!
This quiet week has given me lots of time to read the archives and see what I’m getting into….
