om. Thirty minutes passed, and Ashley heard the doorbell ring. She smiled, knowing it was Rachel arriving for their pre-gala pampering session. "Ash, I'm so sorry I'm late!" Rachel exclaimed, rushing into the living room with a big smile. "No worries, Rach! I just got here myself," Ashley replied, laughing as the two friends hugged. "Okay, let's get started! We have a lot to do before the gala," Rachel said, eyes sparkling with excitement. The two friends made their way to Ashley's bedroom, where they began rummaging through Ashley's extensive wardrobe. "What do you think I should wear?" Ashley asked, holding up a stunning red gown. "Ooh, that's gorgeous! But I think you should wear something a bit more...neutral," Rachel suggested, pulling out a sleek black dress. "Why neutral?" Ashley asked, curiosity piqued. "Because you want to blend in with the other guests, but still stand out as the amazing event planner that you are," Rachel explained, winking. Ashley chuckled, nodding in agreement. "You're right, as always." The two friends spent the next hour trying on dresses, debating accessories, and discussing makeup options. "Should I go for a bold lip color or something more natural?" Ashley asked, holding up two different lipsticks. "Hmm, that's a tough one. What do you think, Rach?" Ashley asked, passing the lipsticks to Rachel. Rachel examined the options carefully before responding, "I think you should go for the bold lip color. It'll add a pop of color to your overall look." Ashley grinned, nodding in agreement.

Ashley asked, holding up her hair. "Ooh, that's a tough one. But I think you should wear it down. It'll add a touch of elegance to your overall look," Rachel suggested. Ashley nodded, smiling as she began styling her hair. As they finished up their pampering session, Ashley and Rachel stepped back to admire their handiwork. "We look amazing!" Rachel exclaimed, beaming with pride. Ashley grinned, nodding in agreement. "We certainly do, Rach. Now, let's go knock 'em dead at that gala!" ******************** Sophia stood in front of the mirror, scrutinizing her reflection as her stylist, Maria, worked on her hair. "Maria, thi
