THREE GIRLS GOSSIP
thanksgiving-dinner.jpg How was your Thanksgiving break? We hope you were able to relax and unwind for a few days! Here are a few highlights from our team. 

Erika: "I had a great Thanksgiving break and a terrific time on my birthday which was the day before. One of highlights of my weekend was going to cut down our Christmas tree and decorating it, as well as the rest of the house. Another was celebrating my birthday with Emily, her husband Matt and daughter Rebekah who came over to my house for a BBQ rib dinner I made." 

Emily: "My Thanksgiving break was both fun and relaxing! After a big feast on Turkey Day, I spent the rest of the long weekend shopping with family, getting a massage and making a gingerbread house with my daughter and nephew." 

Beth: "My Thanksgiving break was nice and relaxing. I enjoyed a delicious dinner at my mom's house, then spent the day after at my in-laws, where we watched the Apple Cup football game. The most exciting part was that my brother-in-law told us he is going to be proposing to his girlfriend soon; I am going to get my first sister!" 

Natalie: "The highlight of my Thanksgiving break was getting to spend time with my family. My dad and I were in charge of cleaning up and it turned out to be a fun bonding experience."

4 Social Media Marketing Tips From a Virtual Facebook Party: A couple of months ago one of my friends from high school hosted a virtual Facebook party promoting fun, stylish Jamberry fingernail wraps. I'd heard of them but hadn't tried them out, so I ordered a few different varieties. After being really happy with my new nail wraps, I decided to host my own virtual Facebook party. I had so many friends order during the party that for the cost of about 4 more designs, I was able to get 16 different styles! Why was my party so successful? Read this blog post to find out.
