Lots of questions about this:

I bleeped the C word in this video because it was spoken in a sentence regarding a “cure”. Youtube has ways of scrubbing through videos and flagging/demonetizing videos that perpetuate false information. I didn’t want to be speaking the words “essential oils cure c—-“ multiple times in my video because it may be flagged when it shouldn’t be.

I’ve had girls tell me “I’ve ran calls from a hospital bed while in the middle of a miscarriage. You have no excuse” like bruh. That’s not a flex or normal at all

I 100% believe that in Top Fail 3, the rep went to Target to prove that their haircare is expensive, discovered that it isn't, and had to improvise a whole comedy routine to somehow pretend that it is. That clip is hilarious in all the unintentional ways.

I'm so early I can be on the top of the pyramid

[JCLFJanet]

“My Monat hair care is cheaper than a Costco trip with your family of five!”

“Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s” 🥴😆

[Purplegoldfish]

The Target girl really went in there and realised halfway through her video wasn't gonna prove what she wanted and had to spend $200 on random crap to try and salvage it 😂

My momma bear self is screaming, if my son's pediatrician even BREATHED doTERRA around me I'd be kicking down doors to get out of the office and I'd be reporting them to the state health department in the parking lot

what the target lady showed me is how much cool fun stuff at target i could get with the money i save not buying monat shampoo.

I work in digital marketing. I'm always worried that when I tell people that, they'll think I'm talking about being in an MLM lol

[Kreepie]

Story 1 - TINA (Truth In Advertising) was the one that reported them. And in the strongly worded complaint, they advised the FTC didn't just send DoTerra a warning letter because that obviously didn't work last time. They're upping the ante.

"Oh yeah? But you can buy lampshades at Target" is going to be my go-to whenever I'm losing an argument.

[ericasmith]

I literally laughed so hard when Hannah said "oh yeah, well you can buy lampshades at target" 🤣🤣 made my day.

Regarding the Doterra reps being fined, Savannah Marie did a video of that zoom call with those individuals on it, making those claims. It was outrageous. I’m so glad they were charged, thank you for sharing this update!

I went to target today. I got Parmesan cheese, lemonade, popcorn, and a Twix bar. And the only impulse was the candy because I’m on my period. Under $9. Definitely cheaper than monat and my hair won’t fall out.

These MLM Huns promoting their products during tragedy is so disturbing, like can you imagine walking into an irl store and the salesperson is sobbing over the death of a family member while also telling you about the BOGO sale? This isn't being a good employee, a hard worker, or hustling, this is straight up not _normal or healthy._

[ashleynelson]

In my opinion, those healthcare “professionals” should have their licenses revoked. 🤬🤬🤬

I grew up in Quebec and we had classes on taxes in high school.
This lady had plenty of warnings about her taxes from the government. If she didn't want to go to jail it was her responsibility to make arrangements with the CRA

[Nylak-Otter]

What the heck is with these folks and Starbucks?! I haven't had Starbucks in 20 years, since that's the last time one of my close friends was a manager there and she slipped me free coffee.

[aaroncatron]

@16:14 So in other words, joining an MLM is better than developing self control when you spend money. Got it.

Hey Hannah! To add to what you were saying about incentives being taxed in MLM - Young Living offers "free" promo items every single month and I only just recently found out that I was being taxed on all those "freebies" the entire time! 😬 I mean, I really should have known.

So if anyone in Young Living happens to see this - you're being taxed for all those promotional items every month! It's not worth it!
