Why are people trying to sell me shit?!
I'm just gonna vent here real quick- feel free to join!
Why are my friends on FB trying to sell me cleanses and makeup?! every time I turn around someone is pushing something. Fine whatever I just ignore the posts or hide them.
Well, I had posted recently that my whole house is sick. October blows here. I have severe asthma and allergies so basically October is always sinus infections and bronchitis for me. I follow my med regimen, get allergy injections, and stay as healthy as I can but there is no avoiding it. So I am currently battling both at the same time right now. The kids go to daycare and preschool and you guys know, one kid gets sick and inevitably so does the other. They both just had a virus that was sort of like coxsackie- fever and rash- that was going around the daycare.
So I just got a message from someone going on and on about her "product" and how I totes needs to check it out it's really healthy and will totes help us and you can drink your veggies by juicing them!!!
Umm, we already juice our veggies for the kids. We eat healthy. I don't think your cleanse or whatever it is will help cure my asthma. Like seriously? And it won't stop my kids from catching a virus. They take vitamins and probiotics and we are very proactive. But these things happen.
Like wtf though. PMing me acting like you know anything about my family's health and can "help". Come on.
Am I being overly sensitive here? I just find it so effing annoying. You post every day multiple times about your product- if I wanted it you would've heard from me by now!
Is this going on everywhere or do I just have obnoxious friends?

I can't get the ticker to work, but I have two sons:

No, not overly sensitive. That person was a toolbag for using your family's recent illness to tout her snake oil.
On another note, @HilarityEnsued is going to quit working and sell Jamberry. She says nail wallpaper will cure anything.
I got oil peddled. But actually it was a nice relative that just let me try the stuff, she's not pushy.
No one told me those oils smell like ass though.

About me 2007: Started TTC. 2008: OB prescribed clomid, went to RE and was Dx with PCOS. 2009: IUI #1 w/follitsim and trigger = BFP. B/G Twins born at 33 weeks. 2012: TTC #3, Round 2 of Letrozole w/TI = BFP, missed m/c at 8 1/2 wks. Currently on the bench as we make plans for a new home. Anxious to start TTC #3 within the next year!
I haven't heard if jam berry and juice plus. Right now I have an influx of Isagenix (ask me about financial freedom!!) Argonne and younique lash blast or some crap.
Wtf. This chick gives her kid these products. I'm kinda weirded out by that!
It's so effing annoying! Like I felt like she was implying that I don't give my kids healthy things to fuel their bodies and I am the reason they got sick. SERIOUSLY?!

Honestly I have a few of the Isagenix ones that really irritate me. At least 3 x a day, they post video selfies talking about it to the camera. PMs. One girl posted a video like "you can work out and spend time with your kids" and the video was her doing pull-ups at the park on the monkey bars and "curls" using her daughter as the weight bar. And "oh financial freedom!". One girl quit her teaching job to just sell Isagenix. Posting constantly about her financial freedom. Funny- my mom knows her mom- the girl actually is in serious financial debt and is losing her house. But quitting her tenured job was def freeing!

Right?! Yeah keep an eye out for mascara (pun intended?). Lots of before and after close up selfies of people's eyes!
@stewgirl - I am appearently in an eye lash group on FB...what?
I don't know what Isagenix is...sounds too much like eugenics
the pampered chef stuff is decent and they usually feed you at those parties at least

My mom just got a call last night saying she was in the top 30 at the company. My mom did not care at all. She doesn't push sales. Just texts family when something goes on clearance
Thats the way I see it! Ain't got the money to waste on shit i dont need!
I am overrun on FB by friends who sell Arbonne, It works, Jamberry and 31. My next door neighbor, across the street neighbor, neighbor next to directly across the street and diagonal from my back yard all sell 31. There are too many damn SAHMs in my neighborhood.
I can't believe these people PM someone like "you just had a baby let me help you lose the weight!" I would seriously be like "her let me help you shove this pencil in your eye bc you're an asshole!"
I posted a jokey ecard about being fat and hating diets or something and got a PM about Isagenix and how it's a lifestyle and not a diet and you don't have to starve and I should try it bc I'll love it. This from a girl who came to a BBQ at my house and ate NOTHING - my H cooked AMAZING food and she was like "oh I can't eat any of this, do you have any hummus? I brought an Isagenix bar you should try one!!!" No thanks bitch- I'll eat these badass ribs my H cooked and you'll never get an invite to one of my parties again!
I've thought about becoming a consultant but not actually selling it. I think they have goals to meet so I wouldn't last long.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
