Tuesday, November 17

To kick off the first day, I decided to wear a pair of my Zyia leggings. I posted an OOTD (“outfit of the day”) picture in the group to let my friends know how pumped I was to get the party started.

Each day corresponds to a type of product that my representative will talk about, and today is leggings and sports bras. Gretchen posted a few fun infographics about a couple different products in these categories. Later in the day, she hosted a live stream to show off some of the products she already owned. I wasn’t able to make it due to some other obligations, but Facebook allows me to watch it anytime after it’s posted. Online shopping can be frustrating with the uncertainty of product quality, so having someone to explain the products — not what type of fabric is used or how to wash it, but how they feel and what they’re like in use — is one of the best pros of these Facebook parties.

One of my favorite kinds of posts, the “This or That” activities, were posted halfway through the day. Each post features pictures of two of the company’s products and the members vote which one they like better. Today, Gretchen centered the post around legging, comparing designs, styles, and fabric.

The last thing Gretchen added to the party was a post asking the members how they knew their host. My friends and family members commented something sweet and personal, and made my day.
