De-Stressors Before De-Party!

Ok, you’ve coached your hostess for tonight’s party and you got a boat load of people coming. Time’s running out, you got to get your kit together, while the dog tugging at your leg and the baby is screaming…help! Somebody save me!

Whoa! The time right before your party has got to be managed, because the last thing you want to do is arrive and look like a lunatic. Use these tried and true pre-party suggestions to get you there in tip top shape!

1. Reconfirm the directions your hostess gave you and then recheck them online. Know where you are going in advance! Also, print out your reverse directions so you know how to get home.

2. Make sure your kit is ready the night before or the morning of your show, in your car if possible. That cuts down tremendously on the rush and stress beforehand.

3. “What am I wearing tonight?” Make it a no brainer. Put together 2 or 3 standard outfits you wear on a regular basis to your parties. Just rotate them!

4. If you have a family, double cook on the nights you are not working. Ask your significant other/older child to help smooth the transition time as you depart. If you need sitters for your children, plan ahead and work your way to finding at least 2 reliable sitters. A back up is important!

5. Pump It Up! Carry your favorite CD of upbeat music in your car so you can de-stress on the way and arrive upbeat and positive. Eye of the Tiger, think Rocky!

Remember, pre-party preparation isn’t just about your samples, it is also about you!
If you arrive with a great attitude, they will have fun.
And if they have fun, it will be a great party!

Once upon a time, in 1984, a woman named Rina Valan was frustrated about the limits placed on women in the business world and in their personal relationships. Back then, you literally had one choice: raise a family or have a career. In addition, if women complained of lack of pleasure with a partner, it was just assumed she was ‘frigid.’ Those choices were just not acceptable to Rina, and so her mission because clear to be that champion for the financial and personal well-being of women and their partners. With a $10,000 loan from her mother and drawing out all her cash advances on credit cards, in August 1984 Rina started Fantasia Home Parties in a small dusty warehouse in Elizabeth, NJ. She loved her 3 year old daughter so much that she could not bear to leave her with a sitter, so she took her to work every day. In the evenings would train new consultants so they could sell at home parties and be able to support their families AND be there to take care of them too. Today, Rina and her daughter, Emily, still work side by side. So 30 years later, Fantasia Home Parties stands as the pioneer and leader in romance home parties. As one of the founding member of CAHPA (Certified Adult Home Party Association), Fantasia continues to forge the trail and we make it possible for women to be equals in matters of the heart, personal pleasure, or providing income for themselves and family. Some of us do it in pink high heels or sneakers, some are single or married, some are single moms, or some of us are even taking care of own moms. With over 33 years of executive experience in the Home Party and Direct Selling business, her personal attention and real life experience is the backbone of our team. It is not unusual that she shares her working experience daily by coaching and with personal support with both new and experienced consultants.
