a quick soirée

my friend jaime invited me to a cocktail party in celebration of her new venture. i was totally in debate on whether i could or should go. honestly, i always have such mother’s guilt and i had a hard time motivating myself to get out and just enjoy a little girl time with the ladies! as usual, i talked myself into it. i really do hate missing out on any events or outings. it’s so my thing to try to make it to everything!

it makes me think back to that one time i didn’t, i couldn’t make it out for a friend’s birthday because i was {i think} 36 weeks pregnant?? and tired, exhausted, and just beat from running around all day. i was more upset that i was missing out on his birthday celebration than my well being! hc forced me to stay home to rest…thank goodness for a husband that can talk some sense into me. yes, i’m nutso.

anyhoo, i arrived at jaime’s dad’s house right on time and i thought i was going to be super early! i walked in and was greeted right away by jaime and started mingling with her other guests. i met some of her friends in the same business and chitchatted with the lovely ladies for quite a bit.

i made my rounds around the group of women and was able to connect with a few folks i already knew. amber and megan arrived a little bit after me and i was able to catch up with these lovely ladies! i also had a chance to catch up with jaime’s sister in law, lauren…she’s such a sweetie!

there were drinks and apps for everyone {of course i took advantage of that! i nibbled on some tasty morsels and sipped some red wine} and after a little bit of noshing, we all gathered around in the living room for the presentation.

there were four speakers, including jaime, and each one talked about their journey and how they discovered rodan + fields. of course all their stories were inspirational and unique. i enjoyed listening to it all. after they explained their products and personal testimony around the skincare lines, the presentation was over and we were able to talk to the ladies around our personal skincare needs.

it was already late and i had to jet. i felt bad leaving but i needed to get home to miss olive to nurse her and put her down for the night! i’m excited to try some of the products and can’t wait to reconnect with jaime so i can purchase some goodies.

thanks for having me j, it was fun!

xoxo
