No.  Buy nothing, OP.  You are doing her no favors by doing so.  This is the literal MLM playbook.  They tell you to start with your immediate circle, close friends and close family, who they know from experience, even if they don't want your stuff, will make at least one pity purchase under the guise of "support."  So after the first month or two, the new "business owner" will say "hey, this isn't so hard.  Look at all this stuff I sold" and get further sucked into the MLM, then be stunned when those same family and friends don't want to keep buying overpriced kitchen supplies and when the MLM instructs her to expand to her next outermost circle of contacts, most of those people won't be invested enough to make pity buys, and if they wanted anything from Pampered Chef, the "market" is completely saturated by people with existing "businesses" from whom they are already buying.

The vast majority of people sucked into MLM *lose* money before they finally get out.  IF you tell her this, she will parrot the line her upline told her to say:  "Well, that's because they didn't work the program or have the drive I do.  You get out of it what you put into it!"  Total BS.

Look up the first season of the podcast The Dream to learn the truth about the MLM business model.  It aggregates information from multiple valid, easily-researchable sources.[/quote]
