I recently stopped going to these parties. I I am with you on this. I get guilted into going then they get out of control, I end up feeling guilted into buying SOMETHING with the no money that I have, then I buy stuff I don't want or need with money I don't have. Then, the "hostess" that has one ends up having one every month for all different things, Athenas, Scentsy, Tupperware, Pampered Chef....now she just sent me another evite for some other stupid thing, I have recently decided to just start saying no to everything, I am broke as a joke and can't afford, leave me a lone with this stuff!!!
