Hello again! I just got home from Philanthropy Day, it was a blast! It started raining on us toward the end but thankfully I was able to stay pretty dry! Alright, so today I got my schedule. The maximum was 8 houses, and I only had 5. Kind of a bummer, but also kind of awesome because I got to sit inside the AC and have a break! I visited...
Grace Kelly
Joan Crawford
Katherine Hepburn
Lauren Bacall
and
Barbara Lawrence!
I was a little sad about being dropped from
Audrey, but everything happens for a reason right?
So off we went!
I went to
Barbara Lawrence first, and was so excited to see this house again! I spoke to a few girls and watched their philanthropy video, which was very touching. The girls were all very sweet, but I left feeling like this house was "out of my reach." It may have just been the kick in the confidence from only getting five houses, but I was definitely not feeling very comfortable here.
Next I visited
Joan Crawford, which I was determined to give a second chance because of my legacy. Turns out I actually really enjoyed it! The girls were lovely and their philanthropy is so sweet. I didn't absolutely LOVE this house, but I could definitely see myself growing into and learning to love this house. If that makes sense....hahaha!
Third I went to
Lauren Bacall, and immediately I was overwhelmed again by how much I adore their house. These girls are so sweet, so much like me, their philanthropy is AMAZING and something I totally connect with (I cried!) and I. Am. In. Love. I walked out of this house with a big dumb smile on my face.
Toward the end of the day I went to
Katherine Hepburn, which, again, is one of those houses EVERYONE knows. I was really shocked to have received an invite, if I'm being honest! The women were so nice and their house was beautiful, but as I looked around the group touring with me I realized I was definitely not in the same financial ballpark as these girls. We got trapped a little because of the rain and I didn't really even know how to talk to them! I don't know anything about designer bags or clothing, and I felt very uncomfortable and a little embarrassed. You know those moments when you look at your clothing and think, "Oh god, I'm out of my element..." it was definitely one of those times.
FINALLY I went to my last party,
Grace Kelly. I went in very open minded but had the same reaction as the previous day. Very "meh," no one talking to me seemed very interested, and their philanthropy video didn't click with me.
At the end of the day, we were to choose six houses and rank our bottom two. Since I only attended five, I just chose all of them! We'll see what my schedule says tomorrow. It wasn't the easiest day and it was definitely sort of a confidence blow but I'm basically hoping and praying I see
Lauren Bacall and
Joan Crawford on my list for tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me! xo
