What is this quackery? Some of my idiot Facebook friends have posted about it and I ignored them because they are idiots. But now one of my wife's friends has her all interested in it because it's natural. Like poison ivy and snake venom.

LOL my wife and I had a pretty heated argument over this same shit (Duterra, i think). I let her buy the shit (she used her money) but i said she couldn't put any of that shit on the kids because they have weirdly sensitive skin and breakout in rashes over some of the smallest things and i could only imagine what this horseshit would do. To be honest she shut up about this crap about 4 months ago, so I don't even think she's using it anymore.

My wife is on this coconut oil kick right now. She has also been obsessed with Tea Tree Oil for the last several years and fucking uses it on everything. I can't stand the smell of any of that shit.

Coconut oil is the shit! I cook a bunch of stuff in it. Eggs are absolutely awesome fried in coconut oil. Now all of that using it on your skin & hair stuff I'm not down with but it's excellent to cook with.

Coconut oil isn't the problem. It's the stay at home mom who joins these MLM schemes and pretends they are "starting their business".

A lot of the trash from my high school, all women in this case, have gotten into "itWorks". It's a complete joke. I actually saw one of them at the bar and was casually catching up with them and they told me about their company. After completely shredding the business model and getting nowhere, I gave her advice on how to maximize her earnings. She didn't like that it involved selling zero product and just getting other lemmings to sign up and sell under her. These people don't like the phrase "pyramid scheme" but that's exactly what they are.

Trash.

I don't bang trash so no.

A lot of girls from my high school are trash now but I'm not surprised. We didn't really have any quality academic type women with a future at my high school(the men were almost as bad) and I've slowly lost touch with almost everyone there.

Truth! I use coconut oil for cooking. Superior to regular cooking oil in every way.

Trash.
So, the new Avon/Mary Kay? I remember when that shit got big a decade or so ago. Seemed like every chick was selling it and I was just the dude sitting back and wondering how anyone could make a profit when everyone was trying to get a piece of the pie. If 20 people are going around trying to get a bunch of people to buy, outside of the best saleswoman, they're all going to struggle making any kind of numbers.

Nothing wrong with a little trash every now and then! Same for me...pretty much have lost touch with most of the chicks from my class. Most are fat and nasty now anyhow.

you have to bang a few 4's to appreciate the 7 more.

BTW, coconut oil popcorn with sea salt is awesome

I haven't banged anything less than a 6 since I graduated college. Even then, the 6's are highly successful women which bumps them up substantially in value.

What happens when you're married to a body of a 7 but a face of a 4? More doggy style?
