You have to wonder about a person who opens up their article with “I’m prepared to lose friends over this.” Recently, blogger and NY Times best-selling author, scarymom.com released an article attacking the methods of women around the country selling Jamberry, 31 Gifts, Younique, etc. The article, at no surprise, has come with mixed responses. (We’ve decided to omit the article link to prevent any further clicks to it.)
