Oh I have questions please and I hope you don’t mind. Do their products actually work well? Just curious also did you leave because it was hard to continue? Or did you leave when you realized it is an MLM When I was 19 I got recruited by Avon ladies but I quit coz I realized it was impossible to make actual money

[@liryns]

adding "Clinical" in the name of a shampoo sounds like a quick way to get a FDA warning letter

It never fails to cracks me up how they wear their company’s merch. I would NEVER just walk around with my work’s name on my clothes unless I was at a work event lol

[@katrinascarlet5637]

They were always ugly so I would cut up the shirts and use them for pet clothes. I had a tiny chi who thought he was part grey hound so no matter how much he ate he was always too skinny to survive winter without sweaters.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I would mostly agree, but I did win a comfortable sweatshirt from one of my call center jobs and wore it to work multiple times, which had the name of the job on the top-left of the sweatshirt. People asked and still ask about it and I let them know I have no love for the company...but that sweatshirt is damn comfortable and keeps me warm in the winter, lol. Especially as I live down south, so half of fall and winter isn't cold enough for a full-blown jacket, and a light sweater of some kind can do the trick.

[@pokemonblue-zy7qj]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley an idea for covering up the work logo could be to iron on a cute patch over it? No use wasting a cute sweater.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@pokemonblue-zy7qj I like that idea! Not sure how well it'd go though since the logo is embroidered instead of being flat.

I've unknowingly tried the Plexus self breast check thing at a Breast Cancer Awareness event and they "demonstrated" it by placing a grain of rice in a kitchen sponge and telling people to "find the "lump" with your hand...you can't can you? Here now try our product. If you're a woman you need this product to keep yourself healthy." My friend and I, being the sassy little craps we were found the grain of rice with our hands immediately then told the rep "We don't need a pink plastic bag filled with water to find a grain of rice in a kitchen sponge because we have functioning nerve endings in our hands." The rep was less than amused.

I worked for Bobbi Brown, Charlotte Tilburry, YSL as a makeup artist on a counter at department stores.. whenever a new product launched we got it for free as “Gratis” we never had to buy products. Every 3 months we’d be able to choose from 300-500$ worth of products (depending on the brand we worked for) unlike these monat Huns or any other mlm hun for that fact

The "best" cancer screening thing is super sad to me because I can see a survivor like my grandmother buying that for everyone they know. My grandma has expressed to me her anxiety around other women in our family developing breast cancer on numerous occasions. It makes me sad to think that she would be at increased risk of falling prey to this despite being retired and on a limited income. Edit was for punctuation.

[@LisaHarvey16]

I totally agree. They will try anything to target new vulnerable people 😞

[@mbennett5]

I never even thought of this. 😢

[@saltydinonuggies1841]

Yeah it's awful. They always target vulnerable people. Especially disabled people which inherently affects the elderly, who also currently have less ability to tell when someone online is lying. It's absolutely disgustng

[@AtypicalPsyche]

It's very strange how they always start off saying how "me and my husband were fighting about money" and then say "I just wanted to make $150/mo!" You and your husband were on the brink of divorce over $150?! 🤨

[@LevadeNZ]

Right? I had to travel internationally with almost half a gallon of liquid medication recently, and the amount of prep work and documents I put together in advance... We got super lucky that 1. airport security in our country is very well trained, 2. we hit a supervisor right away, and 3. that supervisor was from our area and knew that the doctors letters were from legit practices, and he knew the pharmacy it was dispensed from. He still had to go over all the paperwork with a fine-toothed comb for me to get all seven bottles of liquid meds on the plane, and this is in a country where airport security isn't as aggressive as the TSA. Sorry huns, Kangen Water will not fly LMAO

[@Richie___Rich]

I was raised in a religious doomsday cult and we had STRIKINGLY similar events to the “conventions” every year. What you said about the true purpose of them is spot on. I think my interest in MLMs comes from that experience because they literally use the exact same tactics.

[@lizajane2971]

Curious - were there also rampant MLM huns in your cult? I was in a cult for awhile and there were tons of huns or women who hosted parties for huns and preyed on other members for prizes or whatever. Even women I know who left the cult and recognize that it was a cult are STILL in their MLMs! 😒

[@tonytoes0]

SDA camp meetings?

[@ridinwithjake]

Omg same here! Another line of work that does this is Wyndham Desrinations Timeshare. I made my own video on this. Working for them is kinda like being in a cult too.

$91 for shampoo or $7 for prenatal vitamins that actually help your hair grow.... Decisions decisions

[@Catwomen4512]

Just a little PSA though, taking prenatal supplements long term (and when not planning to get pregnant) isn't recommended! :-)

[@amberfrazier575]

It’s hard on your organs. If you have actual medical hair loss or not. You should talk to your doctor.

[@Artchick1972]

Prenatal vitamins don’t promote hair growth.

How disgusting that the Mom with a missing son used him to sell her scam. I am happy to parent shame anybody who has done that. I wonder if he was running away from her. I hope he is safe and finds the support he needs. Hannah awesome video as always! ❤

@@TheEmbessyNetwork I totally get that! It’d be “funny” - in a serious way. I’m sure he had other reasons but his mom’s MLM obsession couldn’t have helped…. He should make a video: “How my mom’s MLM obsession drove me from my home”.

Imagine the missing son looks at his mum's social media while away and sees That... it may prompt him to stay away from her.

[@jennifersandahl4603]

I can’t with that mom and her missing son. My youngest son ran off when he was a teen and I was SICK until he was found and brought home 18 hours later. I’m just disgusted that these companies and a lot of the top leaders and huns spew such greed and “get rich quick” diatribe that it seeps into vulnerable people, manipulating them and basically brainwashing them to the point they think they *must* put the product and company above all/exploit it. Ugh. That one had me yelling at my phone screen. Just. No, lady. 😢

[@woodificould]

This is unrelated but I'll toss it in here anyways, if you plan on donating to a breast cancer charity, i might suggest something other than Susan G. Komen. They are way more "for profit" than they make themselves out to be. My ex used to work for them as a statistician. Apparently less than a penny of every donation goes to the actual cause. The rest of the money gets funneled to the top and used in lawsuits against other charities that use trademarks that are too similar sounding to theirs... which is unnecessarily petty imo considering the cause

[@kairitetra]

Thank you for this comment. I was about to post the same thing.

[@carolsummers8734]

Yes, their administrative overhead outweighs their research funding.

[@claudiabailey5302]

Boy I never knew there was something called post Covid hair loss 😂😂😂 my gosh

[@mommy2libras]

Around 2013 there was a big blowout concerning the compensation of their CEO at the time. Compared to other charities of the same size that managed the same amount of Wirth, she'd been making almost twice as much as some others. Don't get me wrong- CEO of an extremely large nonprofit is a big job and they do deserve proper compensation. But sorry dear, you're not doing twice the work of other nonprofits of the same size and impact. They made a statement about how she'd passed up a pay raise the past two years (so she would have been mak8ng even more potentially) and they temporarily kind of "fixed" everything to head off anymore bad PR. Fast forward 10 years or so to today, where their current CEO got paid $888,164 + another 27k for "other" according to ProPublica. Funny enough, the next person down on the executive ladder made a full half mil LESS than the CEO. Yeah, don't give your money to the Komen Foundation. Practically none of your money is going to help anyone other than the highest paid executives there. What's extra sh*tty is that they have TONS of volunteers for things like their fundraisers so a lot of work gets done- you know, the actual work they need done to pay themselves- by people who don't get paid at all. And are happy to do it because they think they're mak8ng a difference. Personally, I always recommend local charities if you really want to help- local animal shelters and nonprofits that help the homeless get little to zero funding from the state or city and many run almost fully on donations. I'll hand 10 bucks to an actual homeless person (which we do quite often. My husband decided to save all the $10 bills he gets as change in the car and hands them out) than give a nickel to Komen Foundation's executives.

[@Rite1010.]

What normal parent works when their kid has gone missing? My ex boss had this happen and I kid you not, he called every single employee to ask for help looking for the teen. For two days ex boss was nowhere to be seen and got our heads chewed off if we called about anything but his missing teen. Teen is safe now.

To the gentleman who did all the figuring out of costs and timestamps - YOU ARE AMAZING. You also made my analytical self sooooo happy! PS - Hannah, you and I had the same face during the "breast exam" kit... this is highly unnecessary. I, too, found a lump (nurse here), and I did NOT need this overpriced product. And, you are correct - doctors and nurses do NOT use this (nurse here).

[@skywardlp4916]

Thank you! I'm not very good at maths, but I always love a good 'how much is this rep really spending?' breakdown.

[@karengreenfield7773]

I agree when I saw this video I was thinking how much does all this cost. Thanks for working out the costs. I wonder how much money the MLM rep spends of her own money to take these products especially if she has more than one child?

[@tahliel]

Ahhhhh I just found out that my mum is in cashfx. I just want to cry. She believes they are going to pull through and be ok. I'm so tired of her being suckered into these 'legal' scams. Sorry for venting. I just don't know where else to safely express these feelings.

[@wetsockks]

Just don’t let her borrow any money to fund these scams 😢 had a couple WITH A NEW BABY try to sell us into a pyramid scheme and it was really sad because they clearly used the last of their saving toward the company but were convinced they were going to retire before 30 with a newborn…

Same. My mother had extremely thick hair and had to get it thinned up until she was 70, and I don't thin my hair but I've chosen to embrace the ferality of my untamed mane which has hella body, waves, and an ungodly thickness in terms of follicle numbers.

[@amandameleen9084]

They claim that's their method of marketing and instead of paying for advertising, they pay the reps. However, the reps behave as though everyone is their target market. Anyone who knows anything about marketing knows that if "everyone" is your target demographic, you will fail.

[@Lefthandylemmons]

I was part of an MLM once a few years ago and the pressure to attend the conference was huge. Fast forward to finding your videos and I started seeing recycled themes and merchandise for different MLMs. Conference theme “GLOW” has been used for at least three “hype parties” for totally different MLMs. I am fairly sure that the MLM’s use the same company to run the conferences and that company re-uses the swag and party supplies.

[@ParodyWhitney]

In my dream world scenario we have a huge arena event but it’s anti-MLM. The entertainment line up will be our favorite comedians roasting MLMs, Elton John performs along with other surprise musical Grammy-winning guests. Everyone gets free SWAG to take home and leaves feeling invigorated not to scam but to save. The effects of the conference ripple so hard, the entire MLM industry crumbles and all is well in the world. You know, just off the top of my head 😂

I was in dōTERRA and went to one convention. Yeah, it’s all about keeping you plugged into their program. My dear friend was above me and may still be in it. Our friendship didn’t survive when I left!

[@lss74]

What a shame she felt the MLM was more important than friendship

[@EnchantingWings1]

Also, what I found on the Monat website about the IR Clinical is that the study was of 30 people. Not enough for a clinical trial in any way.

[@rditt13]

The best irony is the fact that I bet that Plexus breast check item does NOT pass California prop 65...

[@Jmg5594]

“What’s the business?” “When I was 22…” okay I died 😂 She reminds me of how all of my elderly patients go back in time to when they were teenagers or whatever when I ask if they have any pain lol

[@Lailer10]

Monat almost got me last year (I didn't know it was a MLM, but If I did, I wouldn't have signed up to be a rep anyway). I had bad post cov!d hairloss and hairloss from going hypothyroid. Someone said monat was great to grow it back and I was so desperate I almost bought it. Luckily the price deterred me, and I'm also huge on researching and reviews. I'm the type of person that likes to know exactly what I'm getting. Proud to say I never bought it. Unfortunately, my hair never came back in. I lost about 70 percent of my hair last year

[@lionfish2201]

I watched a video recently that said that “hair growth” is a medical claim and therefore has to be FDA approved. So a lot of companies skirt their language that leads consumers to believe it’s hair growth but never actually state it. So she could get in serious trouble for those claims.

[@luckyneko1]

I think what bothers me most is people who sign on to MLM'S are often really desperate to make some money. And then they get false promises and it hurts their self esteem because they think it's their fault they are losing money. They had no chance from the start! I don't have children. That mother with the missing son is unbelievable!!!

[@SM-ic9xy]

Hannah, and Japan they have certain detectors that can tell if you’re bringing something other than water in your water bottle. It was really nice just to put my water bottle on the scanner and be able to take it through security. I wish we had some thing like that here, but I also understand why not. I almost thought for a second perhaps they were in a different country that allowed water bottles to be taken through.

[@jakzine540]

That's a level of horrifying that I didn't need today, but absolutely need to have present in the world. Damn, that's madness itself...

[@theeclecticmemah]

The dollar amount of the essential oils during pregnancy and post partum is mind blowing! 🤯Especially with how much it costs to have a baby in the first place! That rep with the missing son actually broke my heart! 💔Especially since I have a 17 year old son! I would take a LOA from my "9-5" to try to find him! So glad she knows where he is and he is safe!

[@SketchingWithSarah]

25:45 “it’s just way different” yeah because it’s plastic with goo instead of right to the source 🙃 The fear mongering is just gross to me and playing on that very real and valid fear all women have is just awful. Gimmicky is a great way to describe it. Thank you for sharing! 💕

[@parkerlynne]

Top Fails are my favorite! So glad to get a new one even though I still love to rewatch the old ones

[@orphanblackops4608]

Horror stories are my favorite.

[@TaylorX3]

Clip 6: She claimed that her husband lost his job, child care is expensive and they were fighting about money. But then said her goal was to $150 every month and if she made $500 a month that would be "woah". How does $150 and $500 solve the problems she "claims" to have had. 1 full time income plus $500 does not equal to two full time income. So either the claims are false or she was throwing pennies at the problem.

[@jpt610]

yea when she said $150 a month, I was like huh? I'm thinking with the money problems and down to one income you would need a couple of thousands.

[@squidproductions2923]

It seems like these are always the numbers too. Like I wanted to make $150 and now I make $500 and it’s changed my life

[@ScaredyGinge]

Top fail videos from you are my favorite! So glad you're putting these up again!

[@brendaradziwon-zapora4450]

They CANNOT say it will make your hair grow!!!! I call FTC violation....😂

[@juliahaugaard7096]

Also, using Covid to once again push the product. (Which I thought they couldn’t do) Is it Covid that caused the hair loss or the Monat? 😂

[@meganballard]

Promoting her MLM business while her son is missing made me sick.. what is wrong with people!

[@Luna_tia]

Fyi Awakend was supposed to launch early October, and now they are saying by Oct 31. All i know is everyone who has bought in already still haven't been paid and are getting anxious 👀

[@thisurldoesnotexist]

I hope that kid is okay, but if his mom puts her MLM over her son's safety I'm not surprised he ran away I'm not trying to mom-shame though, I hope everything works out for everyone involved

[@TheEmbessyNetwork]

Wouldn't it be funny if that was the reason he ran away?!

[@ridinwithjake]

I think in this instance it’s ok to mom-shame. As a person who ran from abusive parents many times and had to be fostered, I wish someone had parent-shamed my biological parents when I was 10-15. Just saying.

[@anothertwenty-something1929]

@@ridinwithjake I 100% agree. Whenever someone asks me about my parents, my go-to answer is "They're two people who NEVER should have had children." Sometimes it's not "mom-shaming", sometimes it's just you being called out for your BS. Having kids doesn't exempt you from that.

[@carolsummers8734]

The boy got home safe.

[@KsenyaStep]

No but the first thought I had after you've read the post of that woman with missing son is that boy ran away from this madness cause his mom is crazy 😭

[@moonbeamknight90]

The breast exam kit was actually one of their first products that launched then as a “trusted” brand for women. I cannot decide which is worse, before or after. 🤢🤮

[@aliciamazingg]

Hannah, I’m so happy to see that you’re back, And so glad you took the time you needed! Makes us appreciate and enjoy your videos even more!

[@staceyhookins3433]

Here in France you are told not to use any essential oils at all during pregnancy nor when breastfeeding. I couldn't even get Vicks vaporub or cough syrup from a pharmacy while pregnant and breastfeeding!

[@shanalouise]

I have missed these videos so much! So happy you are feeling well enough to record again. 🎉

[@beeinmybonnet9326]

Your face when the Monat rep said they are doing a pre-sale...priceless!!

[@parentingadabsurdum]

The thought of my child going missing, I can’t even imagine that I could think of anything else. I just don’t understand.

[@katieanderson61]

That Monat rep at the beginning is just wrong-I don’t like how she talks about hair = confidence-so exclusive to those who have no hair or have lost their hair to a medical condition or disease-ugh! Thanks as always for showing us the error of their ways ❤️

[@Dee.Murphy]

The title reeled me in, in 5 seconds flat!!!!

[@emilykesely9934]

I've been binge re-watching this series, so when my notification popped for a new one, I jumped on it lightning quick

[@shawnacox1527]

You have taught me SO much that I did not know!! You are so smart and genuine and I'm SO glad that I found your channel!! You deserve all the money these fake influencers are raking in!! It's not fair

[@kierratoole2953]

Thank you for blessing us today! I’m always happy to see you :)

[@jpt610]

What really struck me when Monat had announced their new hair serum for "hair growth", it made me think... so what happened to the other product claims ya have been making all this time? Why come out with a new product for hair growth if you already supposedly have this? 39 people is far from a clinical trial.

[@JuMiKu]

Yes, but they had to weed out all those nasty people, who didn't use the product correctly and were burned and suffered hairloss. Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised, if they left out anyone with adverse reactions.

[@carolsummers8734]

A real clinical study would be linked to the 39 people claim.

[@alexandrawilson-hodge2974]

When you stop watching an old Hannah video to watch the new Hannah video 🎉

[@timriehl1500]

I'd contact the University of Miami and the University of Miami Medical Center's Public Relations departments; I bet you anything they'd also be interested in hearing about this "study". I know it's a bit audacious, but I would not be shocked if Monet totally made up this supposed study.

[@botanicalag8361]

That’s a good idea.

[@erikathesomething]

Late as hell but as an alum I was curious! The most I can find is that the Monat scientific board includes Dr. Antonella Tosti who is faculty for UM Med and does a lot of research in alopecia treatments and maybe may have gotten funding from Monat (pure speculation on that part). UM has no communications abt a partnership, so I'm guessing it's creative wording and marketing on Monat's part and only being spread by their reps.

[@katymaurer388]

I miss these Top Fails! Love hearing your rebuttals to their false and ridiculous claims

[@jayneebersole8931]

I can sum up all these stories you shared today in one word. ABSURD!

[@InevitableSecrets]

If my mom cared more about her MLM than me, I’d run away too.

[@nestandthimble]

Years ago I was in Mary Kay. The Director was a young, bubbly lady who was married to a wealthy doctor. Before meeting the doctor she worked as a manager at an apartment complex. She used HIS money to buy her way to a pink Cadillac. When they divorced, she left MK because she never built the foundation to maintain her position, if we were short of our monthly goal, she would buy the extra product under our names to keep her on top. She was 100% fake and everyone tried to emulate her but you cannot duplicate was is fake.

[@Ravengirl17]

I remember seeing that post of the mom who's son was missing on reddit and just feeling so angry! I had to take a moment away from my phone after that one. Of course the person who posted it didn't share that person's info which is good, but I felt so empty not knowing if that kid was found or not. Thank you for at least sharing the good news that he was found.

[@cassandra2456]

a new Hannah video to watch while I get ready for my new job! thank you so much!!

[@pattipeters9861]

🎀 Can we change October from breast cancer awareness month - we are ALL “aware” of breast cancer - to breast cancer research, detection, and treatment month? 🎀 Make your donations directly to breast cancer research instead of buying a pink pen.

[@alexisk8888]

As soon as I see the notification I click, no matter where I am 💕 can’t wait to watch

[@orphanblackops4608]

Makes my hair grow? My hair grows on its own. Just like my nails, they grow on their own.

[@jenng1770]

Love your content, and especially love your MLM fail videos. I hope you make more of it. You are so sassy in them and its so funny. It is great to see those reps called out by someone who speaks as well as you do. ❤❤

[@Pompinflompis]

Hi Hannah, I am from Argentina and I am also a fan of these subjects just like you, I know everything! To Argentina MLMs arrive years later, but they arrive... And I am always alert everytime a friends seems to be getting close to one... I love your channel, I discovered it a couple of weeks ago and already watched so many of your videos (listened to while working lol)! Also: you are soooo pretty 😍 !

[@heatherframpton9693]

Thanks, Hannah! 😁❤️ I hope that you, AJ and Baby Girl are all doing well. ❤️

[@m.teresa.r]

Great seeing your videos popping back up

[@fizzlestyxx8507]

Pure speculation on my part as I don't know all the details, but regarding that story of the missing teen, I couldn't help but wonder if he ran away from home due to his mother's obsession and fixation upon MLMs. Thank you for the video, Hannah.
