Summary

Samantha started using Young Living Essential Oils because she believed they would be a safer alternative to mainstream household cleaners and products. She quickly found herself with a shelf full of EO vials and deeply immersed in the #oilylife, throwing away all the "negative" products and replacing them with Young Living dupes. As she built a team, she began to understand the gamification of MLM; commodifying friendships and turning her downline into a bonus check, that she started to realize that maybe this kind of thing just wasn't for her. Plus a warning about a Scientology Boarding School PAC, and a bonus mini dive into Partner.co in the housekeeping!
