Hostess Survival Kit for Party Disasters!

Now that the holidays are over, it's time for a new season... awards season!  Being in Southern California, I personally know a ton of people who work in "the biz" and that means we are REALLY into our viewing parties.  Since I'm known as the girl who is always prepared, I decided to put together a quick tutorial for my Hostess Survival Kit!  Put one together for yourself or for your favorite hostess to keep those party disasters from ruining your swanky soiree.

Let's get to it!

Personally, I headed to Albertsons since it's a one-stop shop for all my party supplies, plus all of the food that I'll be whipping up as well!  Here's a peek into my shopping down each aisle.  :)

For Unexpected Messes

• Bounty® Paper Towels:  What messes aren't these good for?  I haven't found one yet, so keep an extra roll on hand!
• Tide® Laundry Detergent:  In case someone knocks over a glass of red wine, have your laundry machine at the ready with some strong detergent.  :)
• Dust pan & broom:  Someone is inadvertently going to knock over a glass or crush a cookie under their heel.  Sweep up messes in a flash!
• Second garbage can:  Stash these anywhere and everywhere to prevent overfilling of your regular trash can and the leaning tower of pizza plates.

For the Bathroom

• Candles:  Scented candles are a must for your most-used room in the house.
• Soap:  Keep an extra soap dispenser or bar, just in case!
• Charmin® Bath Tissue:  No guest wants to ask "where's the TP?" so have extra rolls handy!  The Charmin Mega Rolls are especially great because they're 4 rolls in 1!
• Bath tissue storage:  Speaking of extra rolls, make sure guests can see them easily.  Put a storage caddy within plain sight!

For The Host & Hostess!

• Bandages:  For blisters that pop up while you're on your feet all day...
• Clear nail-polish:  For chips that show up when you least expect it.
• Nail file:  Hang nails be gone!
• Mints:  Make sure you greet your guests with minty fresh breath.  :)
• Secret Deodorant:  Stay flawlessly fresh throughout the party with this deodorant for her or...
• Old Spice Deodorant:  for him!  My guy refers himself to the Champ, so this one was his choice.  :)
• Lint roller:  Banish those extra threads and make sure your party dress is spotless!

And that's it!  Make sure to make this kit for your next party, or gift it to your favorite hostess, to make sure everything runs smoothly.  Lastly, definitely check out the limited time deal to get your savings today.  :)

Happy hostessing!
