Party Boycott!

I am instituting a new rule in my life - NO MORE DIRECT SALES PARTIES! I will not go to one more party! I do not want any more overpriced make-up, jewelry, candles, bath products, home furnishings, cooking utensils or packaged food! NO MORE!

I have been to a million of these parties, and while I might like the socializing part (if I know enough people at the party.....otherwise they are torture), that whole line of "Just come, it will be fun, and you TOTALLY don't have to buy anything." Yeah right, SO not true.

I know, I know - I'm probably offending a bunch of my readers, but I'm just being honest right now and venting a little. I have been to parties for all of the above mentioned products and while a lot of it may be perfectly good quality stuff, 99% of the time, it is wildly overpriced. Admit it, ladies - it's overpriced and you could find almost all of it somewhere else for cheaper.

And let's be honest, it's a pyramid scheme.....and I don't care for that. I can almost handle the actual demonstration of the product part of the party, but I cannot stand the part where the presenter spends a bunch of time trying to recruit you to sell the product. UGH!

I'm done with the guilt trip, the pressure, the BS, the sales pitch, all of it. I'm boycotting home parties until further notice!
