Im lora jones and, for the past year, ive been investigating The Dark Side of the direct sales industry. Are young people chasing a dream they can never achieve . Just, like, chews you up and spits you out. I probably blew about £2,000 in, like, road trips and stuff. Wow and i dont think i made that in the whole three months i was there. Cant afford shampoo.
