Cabana Boogie Alison Style.

So here's a little secret:  My dream is to one day be a full time PARTY hoster (It's a real thing). Growing up my parents were always hosting different shindigs. My mom catered weddings and corporate events and threw amazing parties right in our own home weekly.  It's engraved this desire to mingle and celebrate life EVERYDAY with friends and family. 
One day, I'd love to own my own party hall that can be rented out for parties, weddings, photo shoots, classes and anything that brings joy, fun, laughter, dancing and food.
Luckily for me, right here in Utah county, there is already an amazing lady who is living and breathing full time party hoster, setting this incredible foundation for my life long dream. People pay her to throw parties and she is AWESOME at it.  Meet Alison from The Alison Show. 

If you don't follow Alison's blog, or her Instagram, or her Snapchat... you're missing out. Daily Comedic Inspiration.  This week I got to attend one of Alison's parties sponsored by Munchkin Inc. and The Gallivan Center. 

What a great night of dancing, yummy treats, a fabulous braid bar and Cabana Boys!  Yes. Cabana Boys. It was that EPIC.

This wasn't my first Alison rodeo and all I can say is her events continue to get bigger, sweeter and dancier!  
Thanks to all the awesome sponsors at the event: Sodalicious for the Dirty.

Platinum Studio for their amazing Braid Bar. 

Milk Honey for their YUMMY yogurt.

The Penguin Brothers for the delicious ice cream cookie sandwich.

Thanks to the other sponsors for the fabulous goodies in our SWAG bags.

September Slumber Soiree.

Recently, I had the fabulous opportunity to sneak away to an incredible blogger overnighter.  It was the FIRST time I had left the kids overnight with just Kevin.  I was nervous, to say the least, fearing I would be lost thinking about the kids all weekend but I was so grateful I could turn off my mommy brain for 24 hours and turn on my PARTY GIRL Brain.
My lovely friend Aubrey hosted such a great event.

Her hard work paid off and a handful of blogging ladies were able to have a great time. We escaped to the gorgeous mountain town of Oakley which is such a pretty place to get away.
We enjoyed a night of round table discussions, delicious meals, a makeup demonstration by the amazing Jen of Classy Cozmetics, Dirty Dr. Peppers and tons of treats, nail painting and girl talk until 5AM (insert big eye expression). In the morning we had some of the yummiest waffles for breakfast hosted by Flippin Waffles and another round table discussion.

We had a photo shoot with Agnes & Dora.

I may not have taken my leggings off the rest of the weekend. 

So COMFORTABLE and stylish. 

Jen did an eyebrow makeover on me.

After.

It's a MIRACLE. I have EYEBROWS

 I won the Flippin Waffle giveaway. Hooray for a waffle party! 

Each of us received some incredible swag thanks to some AWESOME sponsors. I am always amazed what great people support the blogging world.  I loved the FABULOUS leggings from Agnes & Dora, the yummy Caramels from JulieAnnes Caramels and awesome bath bombs from Starflower SkinCare.

It was such a wonderful getaway. I am so blessed to have some fabulous friends in my life.  Thanks again Aubrey for a MUCH NEEDED overnighter. Can't wait for a repeat soon.
