Lately, I have been complaining about not having enough time to do anything. But whenever my girlfriends want to get together, I drop everything. Simply because, over the years, girls' night out (GNO) have become few and far apart. Hence, even more a reason to go big and all-out. As everything else, planning and preparing is probably the most fun part about GNO (for me). Here's how I prepare for one:
There is nothing quite like having the time to myself and prepare for the night with the girls. I catch up on my emails and social media update in the morning and then take the day off. Even half a day off adds to the fun as I am able to unwind and get in the groove. If you have the luxury to take the day off, I would highly recommend you do that.
I am a stickler for groomed nails and a GNO means they need to look perfect. I start with getting a manicure and pedicure. If my friends can join me even better. It is so much fun to relax, chic-chat, may be sip champagne (back when I did drink!) and get ready together.
I always pick the most comfortable heels to wear for the GNO, since I already know it will be a long night starting from drinks, then dinner and ending with some dancing. If I have not worn the heels out enough, I make sure I wear them throughout the week at home. It helps to open them up for the night. I always know what I am going to wear in advance, but the
TYPE A in me is never quite content with just one option so I try and keep an outfit as back up. Sometimes it would be the weather and other times the fit, but it never hurts to have a few stand-by outfits ready.
Changing my hair color every few months is the most exciting thing I do for myself. I always plan to color a day or two prior to the GNO. Recently I tried the Keratin Color from Schwarzkopf for the first time and was impressed with the results. It is an anti-age hair color with Keratin Care Complex & Skin Flattering Pigments. I practically had fuller, younger looking hair in less than 30 mins.
