Girls Night Therapy

Oh how it’s been too long. I must say, life has been interestingly fun... I had to go live a little bit so I could come back with new experiences and content to tell you guys about.

Don’t get too excited. I’m single, which is fine. Being single has let me be able to get out of the house and make memories. Nights out with my girls were exactly what I was missing from my life before. Don’t get me wrong, I would go out from time to time, but since I was normally in relationships, I would pass up a lot of opportunities because I just wanted to stay cuddled up with my bae. Cuddling is cool, but relationship or no relationship, you should always make time for fun and do stuff for yourself.

Seriously though, there’s nothing like planning a night out with your girls. Everybody’s chatting it up about what they’re going to wear, deciding how much they’re going to drink that night, and if they’re going to drink light or dark liquor. LOL, speaking life into the night you’re about to have! Deciding what bar or club you’re going to go to, Yes! This is how it all starts... (insert evil laugh)

It’s time for you to get ready. You've got to get your "going out" playlist on to get the energy right. You have a shower concert because all your favorites are coming on! You do your hair and throw your outfit on, making the necessary changes if needed. Finish the look off with a simple but fierce makeup look... Grab the perfect shoes to pull your look together, the ones that are cute but comfy and BOOM! You are in your mother fucking zone, bitch. You are looking gorg, and you are feeling sexy. It ain’t SHIT anyone can say to you! YESSS HONEY!

Jamming out in the car on the drive to your girlfriend's house. As soon as you see each other, the energy amplifies as you exclaim compliments back and forth. "I see you, bitch!" "Come on, sis!" "It's the face beat for me!" This moment is what I live for, I live for hyping my girls up. If no one is going to hype you up, your girls will! Everybody’s looking photoshoot worthy and ready, so it’s only right to capture a few pictures.

Drinks, drinks, and more drinks! Pregaming is important for the start of an epic girls' night out. My favorite pregame drink right now is Manocos. They are canned mixed drinks. Each can contains 2 shots. They’re great! Manocos are tasty and get the buzzly vibes going.

Wait! STOP! Before you drink anything else, make sure you have eaten something. Do not drink on an empty stomach. It will not end well for you! I know this story all too well. I always seem to make this mistake... I’ll think about eating. I’ll talk to my friends about needing to eat, but I never actually EAT! As a result, I'm getting drunk twice as fast... I regret it every time, but I never learn my lesson. LOL

The rest of the night is usually somewhat of a blur for me, LOL. But you’ll know from the headache and the pictures on my phone that it was a good night. Little bits and pieces of the night come back to you as you scroll through the pictures... It’s always so funny having those Ah-Ha moments, like "Oh yeahhhh, we did dance on the bar!" And fingers crossed, no one has any photos of you doing anything embarrassing.One of my best friends is a photographer, so she’s always catching the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Regardless of the embarrassing photos, the memories are what's important. My 2021 was filled with epic girls nights, and I don’t regret a second of it!! Your girlfriends should be feeding that inner fire inside of you. Girls' nights are therapeutic chaos!! It’s all too easy to get caught up in relationships or just life. You have to find time to take a break and let loose!
