Its a Company that showcases different products and recruits people to host parties using different products in their own homes to get guests to buy the product. The host gets to keep the product. I got a free Soda Stream Source machine, which retails for $99.99. I was also sent two bottles of Cola and Diet Cola to sample along with cups and party favors for my guests. The only requirement was to talk up the party online on the House Party Website. I uploaded a Group picture on my House Party page. I've had a House Party before using Bare Minerals skin care. It's a nice machine. We do drink soda/pop at my house. I try to buy on sale. The benefit of a Soda Stream machine is that there is no can or plastic bottle waste. Now that I have this machine, I won't have to buy soda pop for awhile. Due to last weekends snowstorm, The only people who came to my party was me, my husband and son. Everyone else canceled :(<br />--watched Downton Abbey free on PBS.com<br /><br />--Downloaded 4 free books onto my iPad through the Kindle app<br /><br />--got my hair cut and highlighted free by my Mom who's a licensed hairdresser<br /><br />--last weekend we stayed home mainly in part due to poor weather & driving conditions<br />--Did NOT eat out and made all food from scratch using our Crockpots, all of which were gifts given to us at my Bridal shower 15 years agoKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16297536870588707817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196619657748629011.post-38829479027888633732014-02-08T18:10:00.559-08:002014-02-08T18:10:00.559-08:00I love that felt snowman idea.
