Shop Party Shenigans/ 'Bear' Bum~

Well......

Our first shop party - definitely did not disappoint when it came to entertainment~....

And the best part - we were trying to keep it LOW-KEY!....... heh heh heh :)

It was perfect!~

And we kinda knew it would be~

We both share a similar obsession with real-life community~

And gratefully have attracted and have been attracted to similar beings - that get the importance of in-the-flesh transactions/tlc......

So we basically had a steady stream - of super cool/connected people~

Swinging by - to shop and chat skin and herbs - and literally - all.the.things.

We had a break from 4:30-6 and a bunch of peeps that left - around 4:15... 

I had a skinny joint in my hand around 4:20 and told Carley I wasn't going to have a puff - until 4:27....

She laughed and was like 'noones going to come the last 15 minutes before we break.' and I smiled and was like 'yah...... u don't know my clientele...' and we laughed. 

And sure as shit - around 4:22 - the door opened and it was a sweet friend/client of mine!~  She was like 'ahhhhhh' and we were like 'yay! u made it! it's perfect! :)

And it really was! As I signed up to sell Epicure under her - only a few short months ago~ and we had some fun stuff to chat about - while munching on the Street Corn Dip we made for the party! ***that dip is the bomb!! and we will be making it for our January shop party too!(jan.30th) the trick to making it fun/ultra tasty - is using habenero cheese! frickin ehhhhh~

After she left we probably had about 45 minutes or so before our evening party - where we planned on making more snacks and cleaning up ect ect. But instead - we ended up sitting on the floor - and having a heart to heart~ haha - 

Ugh -

The time passed by and before we knew it - we seen headlights coming up the driveway and were like shitttt! Time travelling is real! Get the kettle on and lets rock'n'roll! 

Which is what we did!~

We got to see a bunch of familiar/sweet faces and some new ones too! :) We got to visit with some homies - and it was the best!!~

And then boof!~

Everyone cleared around 8:40pm and here I was again - holding my unlit joint from the first break. I looked at Carley and was like 'well - i'm not lighting this til 8:57' and she laughed again - and was like 'it's 8:40 - do u think anyones going to come this late?'

I laughed and said the same thing I did earlier - as in : Who knows! My clients/friends are a bunch of wild animals/night owls - never know!~ haha

And yah - who woulda guessed! :)  A few minutes later - one of my favourite people in the world - opens the door and was like 'heyyyyy!!!' We got to hang and talk about horses and real life shtuff - it was the best!~ She took the last Yon-Ka hydration kit and peaced out about an hour later. 

It was around 10pm and I finally got to smoke that joint! haha (I know I sound like a chronic. just remember : each to their own~ I'm not addicted to social media and don't suffer with a cell phone addiction - like 99 percent of the world right now....  i could go on - but that alone - i hope will make a judgy monkey-check themselves.....)

And then yah - it was celebration time!~

Carley and I sat on the floor again - and started writing everyones names out - for the epic raffle - we had to draw for :)

It was the best! A full on LOVE-FEST - about how much we love our people and our community in general. Loving up on the peoples names we were writing on the little pieces of paper :)

Around 11:30pm we started making the draws. And the first draw was for the gommage. We pulled one of Carleys BF's names - and it couldn't have been more perfect!!~

This womie is such a sweet soul and LOVED the gommage when Carley had given her a facial - a few weeks prior!! I was like azzzzzzz ifffff!!! Amazing!~

And then we raffled off the Yon-Ka Spray Lotion (everyone legit needs this in their life-man or woman) And another sweet chicaroo won!! :)

Next up was the 'creme brulee' - the new Serum C20 that retails for 184 bucks~ This serum is next-level! And I won't lie - I told Carley that I hoped one of our Yon-Ka clients won it - or someone who would appreciate it - and sorry young pups!! I also mentioned I hoped it went to an 'old gal' - who's skin could really use it :)

And then no-joke ~ seconds later we pulled one of my Yon-Ka clients who moved here in 2020 from Ontario - who has been using Yon-Ka........ drumroll.......

FOR OVER 30 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! :)!!~

I was frickin AMPED!!!! I even emailed her at 2am to let her know she won!! hahah She responded the next day (obviously) and told me she NEVER wins anything and the day before she celebrated her 60th Birth Day!!!

Again - Azzzzzz ifffffff!!!!!!!! :) Sweet Perfection!!!!! :)

And then we had Yon-Ka's Glyconight mask to draw for - and who woulda guessed...... Perfect yet again!!!!!!!!! :)

We drew one of my Yon-Ka clients/friends - who loves the products - and like the rest of us - has been rolling her eyes at inflation and the cost of living - over the last few years. 

side tangent:

A few months back she was sharing with me - her annoyance with her hubby who had added a 30 dollar tshirt to an online order with the jacket they got for their son. I was like 'DUDE!!! What pisses me off - is that you and your husband - both have your Masters. He's a full-time teacher - you're a therapist...... you don't live a luxurious lifestyle/have a big mortgage. Your man should be able to buy himself a 30 dollar f*c*ing shirt!! ugh-

We have to stay strong as couples!!! And not let what the 'g that ends with t' has done to our country/finances - fuck with our feng sui - when it comes to the love department! Financial crap can be such a burden on relationships. We have to stay focused and not take it out on one another. I know we all know this - but the reminder never hurts. 

ANYWAYS! I LOVE this woman and her relatable truths - and am so happy she caught a break - and won the glyconight mask~

So blah blah blah - you get the drift! The Raffle was uktra! All the winners were meant to be! And we can't wait to make this a regular scene - for our shop parties!~

The only thing we don't want to make a regular scene - Is the 'bear bum' scene! That happened shortly after we drew all the names!!..........

So by the time we finished up - it was around 12:30am.... (not out of the ordinary for us)

Carley was like : 'I'm gonna sneak out for a pee before i go' and i was like 'want me to turn off the outdoor lights - so Jeff doesn't see your bare bum!' we laughed and I shut off the lights and off she went.

She scooted around the corner - and right before peeing - she was like 'wow- Krystal's really aggresively cleaning in there----- weird' (the music was blaring in the shop) and then all of a sudden......she was like 'wait a minute!!!!!!!!!'

The door flew open and she rushed in - with her pants down and was like - 'aghhhhh - sorry my pants are down BUT there's a bear right there!!!'

And I was like 'HOLY SHIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!!!'

We laughed and were like wtf!! The bear slammed our garbage can down and was going to town. And the few seconds Carley was within 15 feet of him -she thought i was on a strange-cleaning rampage! - It was all too funny/wild~

bahahahahah
Ugh-

We easily scared away the bear and I possibly-stupidly cleaned up most of the garbage (knowing he/she was going to come back)

Carley left around maybe 1am. We were both super wired from the night/bear. I cleaned up til around 2 am - when the bear came back!!~ I was like - this is so stupid!! And I scared the bear away - yet again.

5 minutes later - I looked at the house smiling. Ready to make a run for it. And I LITERALLY said out loud - 'Well - if i die - i die!'

And i sprinted to the house - straight up the stairs - to have a soak before I laid my head~ 

'SPA LIFE' / 'Best Night Ever!!!'

hahahah
