Girls Night In (plus shopping!)

Lately, there seems to be more and more companies popping up with independent consultants selling new products! I've ordered make-up, jewelry, containers, bags and the list goes on. I'm sharing with you two of my favorite companies that offer amazing products and the option to "host a party" to earn benefits. This is a perfect excuse to get together your friends and family for a fun girls night in!


My friend Gwen recently became a Tupperware consultant so I invited some of my girlfriends and their moms over for a fun girls night in. We enjoyed wine, appetizers, desserts and shopping all night long! Tupperware has some great products that I recognized from my mom and grandmother having them so it was nice to get my own products. Gwen and I decided to showcase some of the Tupperware items by serving my appetizers and desserts in them for the party. She also handed out recipes, prizes and had games to keep everyone involved. Overall, it was a fun night in with the ladies! 



Plus, for hosting the party, I got half off some items, money towards Tupperware and free stuff! To schedule a party at your house or online with Gwen, visit http://www.my.tupperware.com/gwenlinaberry or her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/gwentupperware


I wasn't able to attend the party at my friend Laura's house for Thirty-One Gifts but saw the website and fell in love with their products. They have the cutest patterns and great sizes for all types of totes, bags, thermals and organizational items. You can also personalize most of their items which is perfect for gifts! 



Same as Tupperware, this company also offers freebies and benefits for hosting a party at your house. To schedule a party at your house or online with Megan, visit www.mythirtyone.com/Meganhabbershon/ or email her at mhabbershon@gmail.com

Would be perfect for happy hour with some chips and salsa!

The problem with some recipes is that they are for making only a couple cocktails so it is hard to double or triple the recipe with the same taste for a larger party. I love that this is for making a pitcher! Much easier for summer "the more the merrier" type gatherings...

This is a non-alcoholic cocktail that I thought looked very refreshing for summer. With all the different berries in season, you could easily adapt this recipe to raspberries or other types of mixed berries. You could also add vodka or another type of alcohol!

I just discovered this blog a couple weeks ago and it's become one of my fav resources for recipes. Can't wait to try this refreshing Grapefruit Mojito recipe and also want to try the Chicken Satay recipe included in the same post.

This one is for the wine lovers! Mix up your wine of choice with your fav fruit to make a slushie this summer. Options are endless with this one!

Last but certainly NOT least, one for the beer lovers! Being a beer fan myself, there is nothing like opening a fresh summer beer at a BBQ or picnic. But I would like to try this fresh summer cocktail that combines beer with fresh fruit!











Hope you enjoy these refreshing cocktails this summer. I know I will!
