New Years Party Prep Mayhem!

Many people have been feeling the financial pinch this season, myself  included. We had many grand ideas of how we should spend our New Years. In the end we all decided we would feel less stress by staying close to home. It will be just as magical if not more so and we will be sharing instead of spending.

Missy and I love to throw parties. Sometimes we make advanced plans that we don’t follow, most of the time we scramble up something awesome the day before. Seeing as this is the day before it’s definitely scramble time.

The Setting:

We have a 4 bed room house, 10-12 guests including hosts, 4 kiddies to tend to and lots of random items to attempt to decorate and create a theme with. We want to make it magical. I also want Missy and Chris to feel like they aren’t just having another low key dinner party.

Supplies:

1. Everyone’s bringing food or wine

2. Lots of random left over booze

3. Missy’s craft room (crafting and herb central, this will be a big help)

4. Lots of luck

We still need a theme. It will help us transform the space. We are thinking 50’s pot luck and martini party, or Mad Hatter’s style with fancy treats and hidden treasures.

I will keep you posted on our progress. If anyone has ideas please share!

Wig Out…In the Bathroom?

Some weeks are easier than others. We all need a chance to escape our daily lives. A good girls night is always the perfect prize at the end of a grueling week. This week a strong drink and dancing wasn’t quite enough. We needed a full on Wig Out. Their is nothing like putting on a great outfit, a pair of high heeled boots and yes, a wig. It’s the perfect time of year to find them. But what’s the fun in wearing one on Halloween when everyone else is. We picked a nice random, rainy Thursday. Even though we spent most of it in the bathroom getting ready, oh and laughing until I cried, we eventually made it out. Our aspirations to get to the closest big city were dashed by an unusually early snow but good old down town New London, CT welcomed us with all our favorite faces and great music. Rejuvenating and re-inventing yourself is just one wig away.

Good places to find wigs:
- Aticc (All wigs in post were purchased here. Great price!) www.aticcshop.com

- Hot topic (I was surprised to find they are good quality for the price.)

- Any Halloween pop up store in your town. (These stores are about to have close out prices)
