How to Host a Kickass Olympics Party
I don’t know about you, but the Olympics bring out the hopeless athlete in me. The 1996 Olympics spurred me to take on high jumping in school. After 3 years of intense coaching, I was barely able to clear opening height #FAIL.
Flash forward to 2010, when Shawn White convinced me that even a scrawny girl from NYC could be a snowboarding Jedi. Let’s just say, I mastered the outfit but made a mess on the slopes. To my defense, I was a champion at the Wii version. #GreatSuccess
This year, I am focusing my efforts to a sport I know I already excel in … Entertaining.
Here’s a shortlist of how to throw your very own kickass Olympics party. Oh yeah, feel free to invite me… #SharingIsCaring
