Pure Romance

Where to start with this one?!  Let's see, I guess I will start from the beginning. A few weeks ago I was invited to Ashley's (Nathan's sister's) pure romance party. I wasn't really sure what I'd be walking into since I've never been to one before but I also thought it would be a lot of fun, so I told her I would go. I looked online at their website ahead of time so I would have sort of idea as to what I would be walking into. When her invite came in the mailbox it said where we were having it, that the theme was luau, and that we could bring friends with us if we wanted to. When I read that I immediately thought about inviting Lacy to come. I knew she would have fun and would get a kick out of it. When I asked her she said she had the day off and would certainly come. We planned to wear lei's as part of luau theme and I went and picked her up after work. The party was being held in Gaffney, SC about an hour from where we are, so as soon as I got Lacy we hit the road and started driving down there. When we got to exit 8 (Kings Mountain area) we stopped to grab some mcdonalds b/c I was hungry and so was she. Soon after we got back on the road my phone started ringing. I answered it and it was Ashley. She was telling me that they didn't have a spot to meet anymore because her co-host's husband was freaking out and said they couldn't hold it at their house. She also said they had pretty much called off the party, but they were still hoping to try and find a location and felt bad that we had driven all the way down there. After passing the message along to Lacy I asked what she wanted to do, and Lacy told me she was okay to go down and hang out for a little with her since we had come this far (we were just in SC when she called). Well when we had arrived, they had found a location to meet so the party was still on. I was glad because I was looking forward to it and knew it would be a lot of fun. We met in the Olive Garden parking lot and talked for about 5 minutes and then headed over to Bronco's (a mexican restaurant) where we would be having the party in a back room. When we arrived the consultant started getting everything set up while we munched on some chips and things to drink. Once she was set up she started with her presentation of the various items. She had everything from body spray to toys and everything you'd need in between, lube, cleaner, etc etc..  She explained how various ones worked and which she would recommend. At the end of her discussion she set up in a table and if you had questions or wanted to place an order you could see her there. While she was getting her table set up Ashley came over and asked what I was getting. She kind of paused for a second and then was like "maybe I don't want to know since it's my brother and all." I just laughed, and didn't mind, it's not like I was going to be giving her a play by play or anything..lol! I told her I was going to get the kiss & tell flavored lip gloss for sure because Nathan doesn't the like the taste of my chapstick or other lip gloss, and was still contemplating a few other things. Before I made my final decision as to which lip gloss flavor I wanted I sent Nathan a text with a list of the various flavors they had and told him to pick one. His pick was strawberry so I decided to go with that one. I thought maybe if he liked the taste I would be able to wear it more frequently around him. After that I also picked up another product that was supposed to be good for razor burn and help prevent it from happening, and as an added bonus, it can be used as conditioner, so I thought I would try that out. I originally went with the original scent, but then after hearing it smelled like baby powder I decided to switch it to mandarin, which had a sweeter fruitier smell and I thought my allergies could handle that one better. After I made my purchases and Lacy got hers, we said our goodbyes and thanked her for inviting us to come. It was overall a really fun night and I think at some point Lacy and I might have to host our own party up here! We both had a great time and ended the night on a good note. It was sooo much fun, and I can't wait for the next one!
