Not sure about it....I sent my customer an email so I'll see what she replies...I figured surely someone here has heard of it!
 
I don't know about this. That website is basically their storefront. They have massive mis-spellings and grammer errors. That off that bat doesn't speak well for the company in my book. If you don't proof and proof AGAIN the words that will be your face then...I don't know. Enormous was spelled wrong. This is a common error, but the incorrect use of "your" for "you're" and vice versa. My reason for being leery may be petty, but it smells a little fishy to me. The first thing I thought was pyramid, but they do address that in the FAQ section. There is no product and you are asked to "recruit" (although they don't call it that) other families to get discounts, too.
