How to host & boost good vibes amidst a pandemic, elections, + social change.
Let’s face it, we are all busy. We can barely finish what we have planned for the day, let alone invite others into the mix to add an extra layer of stress surrounding our lives.
But you know what we also do not have time for?
Making up for lost time with loved ones who will move past this year of adversity and growth, never having shared a moment of real connection built upon love.

fresh good vibes
Fortunately, we have a solution: presenting 5 easy ways to be the host with the most of fun, laughs and discovery alongside the people we identify as lifelong friends.
1. Start with the intention
Sure, the truth hurts. Any mechanism for change can surface from conflict, competition, and collaboration. But how do you sustain a relationship separated from the comfort of obligation and history? Call it like it is!
“Let’s make time to actually catch up because we care.”
2. Invite each guest to be creative and share
Now we each have unique professional and personal responsibilities. Why not feed our souls with food and drinks that showcase a little bit of character, time, and effort? If you like it, then enjoy it. If it’s not your jam, pay your friend a compliment and pass the dish or drink over to the next.
What’s on our menu?

3. Handle the good vibes presentation
Woohoo! Congrats on deciding to be the host. Now, put your big boy/girl pants on and set the vibes. This is your space, boost that fresh seduction right now! Give all the good feels with a personalized touch of energy.
How would you theme and present your sweet gathering your way?
4. Never be afraid to say “the wrong thing”
We can’t please others when we have already defeated our own thoughts and emotions. If you are solid with self-respect, naturally a wave of calm and respect for the people you love will surface (no matter what chaos surrounds you).
Conversation is key.
5. Treasure every minute with laughs
Friendship stems from the connection and memories we create together. Prepare crazy engaging activities. Maybe you’ll get to all of them or impromptu alternate shenanigans. When was the last time you let go of control and simply enjoyed the moment?
cheers to your happiness,
because it counts!
Hey lovers & friends, who has not felt the impact of daily policy changes, threatened businesses, shaming, health disparities, and more?
If we can avoid committing to extremes, and choose to make this world a better place, I am right there with ya!
I recognize that everything in life is either a call for love or an expression of love.
Enjoy this glimpse of how hosting can GIVE you and your loved ones a little refresh and reboot for your home, health, and mind.
