Five Staycation Ideas for You and Your Friends

Posted on the 19 August 2014 by Ncrimaldi @MsCareerGirl

So you have a weekend free and for the first time, and so do your friends. This calls for a celebration! One of the hardest things that girlfriends encounter in their professional lives is finding the free time to all be together for some quality bonding time. With everyone  having different jobs and schedules, getting everyone to get together doesn’t come too often.

I suggest that you plan something special and set a girl’s night. Here are some ideas that can really make your night a blast!

Get your fitness gear on and get a natural high with the girls! Here’s a picture of me with my girls Kiks and Joy at our last fitness party!

1. Endorphin Spike – Invite your girls for a good doze of physical activity and throw your own fitness party. Put an exercise video on, go to the garden and do some yoga, or go to the gym and break each others’ rep records. After a ass kicking in the gym get together and cook up a healthy meal or make your own shakes. Not only are you having fun, you are also torching calories and taking off the stress!

2. Movie Drinkathon – Have a movie marathon meets cocktail indulgent kind of evening by putting together a list of movies with some sexy actors playing lead or download that TV series that you all need to catch up to. Agree on what kind of scenes you need to make a cheers and drink up to – anytime anyone is shirtless, maybe? Zombie pops out of nowhere? Or maybe even when a certain catchphrase comes on? This sounds like an evening packed with drinking and laughing. Make sure you’re stocked though!

Get dressed and glam up like you are going on a fancy night out even if you’re staying in. Why not?

3. All In - Tell your girls to get dressed Casino style, and have a styled up poker night. You can also set up a big screen and connect to an online casino like Caesars Casino games and agree to have a common fund to play and raise. No need to go all the way to Atlantic City, you all can have fun at home minus the long trip, especially when you all don’t have the time and means to go all the way out there.

4. Secret / Not-So-Secret Selfie – Throw a makeover party and have your girls dress up. Take out the chapagne and strawberries, put on some music, and host a photoshoot party. Take turns snapping pics of each other and feel free to make some not-really-but-we-will-pose-like it-is kind of candid shots. Everyone is here for a good facebook photo. It will be our little secret.

Get your selfie on like me and my bestfriend, Sasha!

5. Fashion Exchange – Hae all your girls bring their old clothes and accessories for a fashion exchange party. Put them all in one table, have everyone pick one that they didn’t bring out of the pile. Barter your way to new wardrobe finds. Anyone fighting over an item? Settle it with a good old truth or dare, and keep going until one gives the item up to be saved from the grilling!
