For nearly ten years, Rowen has opened her home to host Friendsgiving. With what started off as a gathering of homegirls involved very little food, an abundance of drinking, and endless memories created, the natural progression of life (marriage, babies, and more babies) has transformed Row's annual get-together into something much bigger, more involved, and, definitely, more taxing. With a few mishaps over the past few years (people bringing uncooked food for the hostess to finish, her furbabies getting overly annoyed with certain guests, and the whole "is this gluten free" mess), Rowen started to wonder if all of the prep work, endless amounts of cleaning, and unnecessary stress was worth the trouble. In all honesty, stirs of tension surrounding the annual shindig began much before November. In the warmer days of August at the pool and sipping some brews, the party planner informed her fellow pool pal, Misty, that she was thinking about putting the kibosh on Friendsgiving altogether. After downing the last of her fresh squeezed IPA, Misty exclaimed, "I mean, you can't NOT have it. It's the only time that we get to see some people out of the year. Like, Amelie. If it weren't for Friendsgiving, I would assume she was dead". With her worldly wisdom, Misty went on to pump Rowen up about the party and how it didn't need to be a big ordeal. "Just let it be what it is. There's no reason why you need to stress yourself out on something that's suppose to be fun. What do you need from everyone to make this easier for you"?

Whatever Misty said that day at the pool must have made Row's wheels turn (or, it could be attributed to a few cans of hard seltzer. Shoutout to Bon & Viv) as November rolled around and a date had been announced for Friendsgiving. In an attempt to show appreciation for her friend, Mist opted to gift something special to the hostess with the mostest. Knowing fully good and well that Rowen has a strong obsession for all things plant, Misty not only brought her famous jalopeno poppers, but also a Christmas cactus for her best gal. Donning loose, soft waves adorned with a tiny, bedazzled flower clip and a rich, matte dark espresso lip, M elected to match her botanical gift. Rocking the beaded floral top with a silk black camisole, dark high waist jeans, and black leather cutout ankle bootie, the longtime friend explains to Row that her new cactus was a cutting from the motherplant of Misty's late grandmother. "She was special. Just like you. So, every year when this blooms around this time, I want you to remember that".
