I don’t get how all these scrapbookers end up in this weird oils thing. Is LDS the connection?

I do not live in an LDS community and it’s still a thing. Many photographers seem to be supplementing their income with it now. |

That's a shame. I didn't read all the issues but certainly enjoyed some of them.

Another one bites the dust. Aaaaand moves into essential oils. 
By the way, doTERRA's reputation is bad on the antiMLM subreddit. Actually, their "consultants" are doing terrifying things! Please, please, keep your loved ones who've been tricked into the essential oil MLM scheme at bay from the elderly and anyone with respiratory problems while the crazy forest fires are ongoing (and when they're not happening as well, obviously).
ETA: And obviously, these folks who've bought into MLM are trying to transition the circle of followers friends they've built through other - often honest - endeavours into the next rows of paying victims. Beware!

I hope they’ll at least keep the issues up on Issu for awhile

I’m pretty sure Kim Archer who started Jot is an Aussie....LDS does not seem to be as prominent in Australia as USA so I doubt the connection
Looking around it seems oils and macrame are the new black
Macrame making a comeback...who would have thought it?

I'm in Perth, Western Australia. Australia is fairly non-secular but of the roughly 50% who declared themselves to be Christian in the last census, only 0.5% of those were LDS. But they are fairly well-known for their unsolicited door-knocking missions!
Anyway... Doterra oils are HUGE here at the moment. Just about every other person is singing their praises. And "advising" people to ingest the stuff!! Bad business at best, downright dangerous at worst. It's the latest in a long string of "health" branded MLM. We've been through Isagenix / Herbalife, then JuicePlus, now it's Doterra.

Ugh. I enjoyed Jot magazine.
I can't believe, anyone with access to the internet, is involved in any of the MLM companies. I also wish they were illegal so people would quit being scammed. If 95% of people lose money, then it's not a "business opportunity". Some of the products are fine, but the business model is not.
