Kristina got a dose of reality as soon as she signed up to be a Mary Kay consultant. Words cannot express my gratitude for all the information and knowledge at this site. I am 21, (newly) married, no children, still in college to finish my business degree, and will go …
A new Mary Kay recruit, almost reeled in by a sales director who she thought was becoming her friend. But it was really all about the inventory. So, I’ve always been well aware of the name Mary Kay. It’s been a name that has been tossed around a few times …

We often hear Mary Kay (and other MLMs) compared to normal corporations. This is how they rationalize the pyramid. Those who compare MK to corporate America want you to see the realistic and understandable scenarios of corporate structure and how Mary Kay mirrors the same structure. In many organizations, there …
Written by The Scribbler I used to work with a bubbly, perky 20-something in our church nursery. She and I laughed together, chit-chatted together, and I thought it could be the beginnings of a terrific friendship. She invited me out for coffee and said she wanted to get to know …
