Body Shop at Home- MLM?

Does anyone have any experience of Body Shop at Home? I know it's an MLM but how bad is it? My best friend has started as a consultant and I'd like to know how best to support her. I've kindly and respectfully told her that I don't want to host a party... it's just not my cup of tea... and I don't really want the hard sell. I do occasionally use BS products... should I buy from her or does this make things worse in the long run?

Yes, it's an MLM and they're all basically the same, i.e. the quick route to flushing your money down the toilet and losing all your friends.

You're under no obligation to support her, and personally I haven't felt inspired to buy a Body Shop product since I graduated from Vanilla Musk at the age of about 16. If there's something you would be buying anyway you can always get it from her if that makes your life easier, but ultimately yeah, that is likely to result in 1) her bugging you more and 2) the length of her involvement in the whole shitshow being extended.

Hi there... thanks for replying... yeah I'm not a BS fab at all... occasionally will have a soap/ shower gel that someone's bought me for Christmas but that's it. She sincerely thinks this is a viable business venture and it's hard seeing her get sucked in. But she doesn't seem stressed and seems to be enjoying it... although I don't think she'd admit if she wasn't. She's posting tutorials on FB and I just find it crazy that she persists when the only people that view them are other BS@H consultants. Utter madness.
