My “Secret” for a Stress-Free Party

By Heather

I tend to go overboard when hosting events. Even if it’s a kid’s birthday party, I make myself crazy over every last detail. I want everything to be perfect and everyone to enjoy but in the end I don’t enjoy myself. There isn’t much time to mingle when you’re running around like a crazy person!

So when I was put on a mission to throw a “Stress-Free” party, I knew I would have to keep it simple. I mulled over the idea to make a few fancy cocktails for my guests, but I knew how that would go down. Me stressing – and what’s the fun in that?!

Yesterday Ryan and I did the shopping. We went to Trader Joe’s to find some delicious snack food and then picked up several bottles of wine. Easy. When we got home it was time to clean up so that my guests would feel welcome and comfortable. No one wants to visit a messy house.

I think most moms would agree that we need our kid-free time, so I decided that us girls would hang out in the basement while Daddy took care of all the kids upstairs. He’s good like that. I set up the bar with some delicious apps that were fancy, yet simple. No fussing!

This is our favorite way to relax when we get together. Wine flowing, yummy snacks and great, uninterrupted conversation.

We’re planning a night of Pedicures for next time, one of our other favorite ways to relax! Secret Clinical kept me feeling fresh and dry throughout the night – and I shared my “secret” with them by doling out samples as a parting gift. What a fun night!

Available in three varieties:

  • New! Clear Gel (No white marks)
  • New! Invisible Solid (Goes on dry and stays dry)
  • Smooth Solid (Contains skin smoothing conditioners)

And four scents:

  • Completely Clean
  • Powder Protection
  • Ooh-la-la Lavender
  • Sport Fresh

Find all of them at Walmart stores, and be sure to follow Secret on twitter for important updates and special offers.
