Lol definitely no more! I talked with a friend about it today and she was like "Oh yeah I got invited to a clothing party for that brand before, so I looked online first and there was nothing nice, and way too expensive, so I didn't go!" Lol I guess I'll know for next time. The woman next door is now buying into the company too so she'll be selling it.

I'm always awkward with people like that because sometimes it feels like you can't be friends with them if you're not buying their stuff. Scott has a friend who had one of these parties just before we moved out here. It was Arbonne which is really nice stuff (I have some face wash and moisturizer my cousin gave me for free because she didn't like it) but OMG EXPENSIVE. A little jar of moisturizer is not worth $90 to me. And I needed mascara at the time but wasn't going to buy it for $36. I let her know that with moving right away I didn't really have extra money, so could I get in touch with her another time, and she said yeah she understands but it would be best and she would prefer if I could buy something that night (because she gets bonuses for having big selling nights). And now I'm kind of putting off hanging out with her because I haven't bought anything yet, and don't want to. It's a good way to alienate people I think.
