I truly think that she was manipulated by a lady in a higher social circle than she; she sought to impress her and had never heard of R & F.

I hate that moms are targeted for manipulation in this way for expensive products with pipe dreams of financial freedom.

This is the thing that stands out to me - many of the R&F consultants I know of are in already high social circles. Their husbands easily can support their lifestyles. What about R&F is so attractive to these women and not other MLMs?

What on earth do you consider a higher social circle? Seriously who talks like that...gullible people are everywhere. It's that simple.

Sigh. Was hopeful but the RF person I know is posting like crazy today.

I'm embarrassed for these women. There's not much else they could be doing that would more embarrassing. I can not be friends with them or be around them.

Not to worry. While they are all CEOs of a woman owned business, you are slaving away for some nondescript corporation. You’ll never be your own boss

But I was literally greasy and looked awful. So I gave in and tried R+F Soothe and wow, my skin legit looks and feels much better. I don’t really need the whole regimen and I keep buying mostly just the moisturizer. But it costs a FORTUNE! Literally more in one month than I would usually pay on skin stuff in a year.

Can anyone recommend something similar to R+F Soothe that would work for really really sensitive skin? Ideally fragrance free and not costing four digits for a year’s supply? I wear NO makeup and really only need moisturizer and sunscreen. I would love to stop buying R+F!

Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask. It’s just a moisturizer, but it has been a godsend for my sensitive dry skin. And I can buy it at Sephora, Macy’s, Ulta, Neiman Marcus.... you get the drift.

Her husband is very successful, 2 million $ house, etc...i.e. she doesn’t need the money. She really is a very nice person, not pretentious, community oriented and so on. I can’t quite figure out that she doesn’t realize how the MLM stuff comes across. She seems genuinely enthusiastic about the products. I don’t know, maybe is a sort of naïveté.

I have a friend similarly situated who sells JP, and it has put a huge strain on our friendship. It boggles my mind that she doesn't get it. She's a lovely person and very smart, but I now screen her calls (I'm not on FB, so I don't see her posts).

Relying on your friends and family to support your MLM "business" is not sustainable. And frankly, the odds of moving outside your immediate circle are slim. Don't do it. Just don't.

Guarantee if you ask any of these “mOmBoSsEs” what that even means, they couldn’t explain it. Morons. “Be your own boss” means hocking someone else’s overpriced face products you can buy in CVS for a sixth of the cost? If being my own boss means that and posting incessantly on Facebook pathetic quotes and advertisements, then yea I will continue to mock it! I’ll stay at my corporate job with other educated professionals with degrees, where we enjoy our benefits and a true profession. Calm down, Huns and Mom Bosses!
