About that multi-level marketing stuff

We all have friends who are in multi-level marketing sales, and hopefully they let us know they are but don't inundate our social media feeds with posts about products 470 times a day. Because that causes us to hide them, which is counter productive to making sales. Some people hate MLM stuff completely, and the sometimes weird/cultish scripted sales posts confuse me but I have a lot of stuff from various places that I truly like. If someone can make a living off of a MLM sales approach or supplement their income, I say you go girl.

I never feel bad like I have to buy something and I have no problem saying no if I don't want or need what they're selling. You know me. I'm honest. I like what I like and when I don't like it, I'll tell you. I figure if I'm in the market for something, why not buy it from someone I know and help their bottom line a little? Most of us don't think twice about dropping $20-30 at Target or Sephora and you can rest assured your $20-30 doesn't mean nearly as much to them.

Below are some products I have and like and sellers I know. If you also sell something, feel free to leave your info in the comments for people to look through. There are no affiliate links here because I'm just telling you what I like, and I got no products for free or at a discount in exchange for inclusion in this list. When you click on a product, if will take you to the product, and when you click on a person's name, it will take you to their consultant web page.

1. Perfectly Posh
There's not much I don't love about nearly everything I've gotten from here. It's safe to say I'm pretty obsessed with Perfectly Posh at this time. I'm blown away at how good my notoriously assy skin responds to the two facial moisturizers I've been using: Moisturize 911 Caffeinated Face Cream and Apricots Overnight. I have the Daily Grind Snarky Bar, which is some serious exfoliating business that's perfect for my grossly dry winter skin. I adore the smell of Snarky Butter Skin Delicious, which leaves my skin super smooth and hydrated. I just got Impish De-Puffing Eye Serum (I can say the dispenser for this is a mess) and Never Grow Up Anti-Aging Serum but can't report on how well they work yet. I've gotten a Good Morning, Beautiful soap that smelled like lemon pledge so I can't recommend that. All made in the good ol' USofA.

Chelsie, my friend Patti's daughter, is my Posh dealer.

2. Rodan+Fields
I know people who have had awesome skin improvements with this stuff. I can't speak to that personally, but I can say their Reverse Sunblock SPF 50 has not made me break out once and is less greasy on my face than the Coppertone I was using. I also got a lot of blackheads with the Coppertone that I don't get with this. Sunblock is number one in my arsenal - in my opinion, if you don't use it religiously 365 days a year, you are pissing your money away on anything else you spend on your face  - and if it works I'll pay for it. Even when it's $41. This works.

Gena and Kristin from Stuff, Things, Etc. both sell R+F.

3, Younique
I am not a full face of makeup girl, but I do love me some lip products. I just got Lucrative Lip Gloss in Luxe and Moodstruck Opulence Lipstick in Upper Class. And I'm about to go back for a lipliner. Younique is famous for their 3D mascara and I know many who love it but I'm not one of them.

Jenn and Suzi sell Younique.

4. Scentsy
I love all things that smell good for the home. I recently bought the Very Snowy Spruce, By the Sea, and My Dear Watson scent bars but have had others (names I don't recall, of course) in the past that I've loved. They have one zillion scents. Nothing pisses me off more than scents that don't carry too much smell. Theirs pass my sniff test. I'm currently obsessed with their night warmers - nightlights that have scent on the top. Not your crappy plastic jobbys either, I got the vintage glass and love them. They're $20. At home, I have tin warmers that I got near Lori's house a zillion years ago. Scentsy warmers can be pricey, but I couldn't resist this one for the shore.

Amanda and Tina sell Scentsy.

5. Tupperware
Tupperware was everywhere when I was growing up. Then when I grew up, I could never find anyone who sells it. And now I have! Check out this classic sheer pitcher set and wonderlier bowl set - love the colors, and the pitchers remind me of childhood. I typically use glass or ceramic to store food that will be re-heated, but I still use plastic that I hand wash for stuff that's not heated. Tupperware is a brand I trust, and it'll survive nuclear war. Sold.

6. Beach Body
I currently don't do this, but I freaking love what my friend Terri is doing with this on her facebook page and she looks awesome. She's making me think about exercise, that's for shit sure. If you want to check her out, you can visit her Beach Body page here.

Terri is a Beach Body Coach.

7. Thirty One
I have beaten my Thirty One bags into the ground. The large utility tote freaking rocks. This is where I keep my paper recycles, and I've also used one for transporting towels and sheets for vacation and when I'm bringing a lot of things to a party.

 Noreen and Fran sell Thirty One.

8. Pampered Chef
You see my Brownie pan every week when I share the egg muffins I made for weekly food prep. I love it so much I own two. A million years ago when my friend Lauren sold it I bought a shit ton of stuff that I still use and love, most of it under $15 - the kernel cutter for corn, the large micro-cooker, the conversions magnet, the paring knife set, the all-purpose spreader, and the medium round pizza stone among other things. I love the $6 paring knife set more than my expensive knife set.

Do you use any products you bought from a friend? Any recommendations? Are you a seller?

p.s. Happy happy happy birthday to my Mimi today and to my Gamma tomorrow.
