Binge Watching The Bachelor
This is something my friends and I enjoy doing because we get to see girls in beautiful dresses walk in welcomed by of course a handsome bachelor, and we already pick our favourites and hoping that they make it to at least meeting the parents and even get married. To make it even more fun, we like betting on who is going to win the bachelor’s heart, so quick money you see.
Some Pizza and Wine Would Do Please.. Or Even Tequila!
Okay now that the kids are at their grandparents place we think it is well deserved for us to head to Susan's house because we all know she has plenty of wine and we could just order some pizza because YOLO! OMG we are such rebels.
Try Out New Recipes
I don’t know about you ladies, but I am always motivated to stand up and cook when my friends come over at my place, and it’s always amazing when we try out new recipes together. This is also said to be one of the biggest contributors to a stronger bond.
Nothing Beats A Spa Night In
So, we’ve all had a long day and what we really want to do is get home, link up with the girls and just be lazy together. Do our nails, toes, and even a massage or two. Slice up some cucumbers, get that avo masks and face scrubs ready. Turn on the volume to that calming music, I prefer Jhene Aiko’s music. It’s time to reboot and restart ourselves.
You Have 30 Seconds!
Some board games would do, especially if you are the competitive bunch. It’s always good having a child-like kind of fun and just having a good laugh with the girls. Plus, we know we all need a laugh or two because adulting is pretty hectic so having innocent fun can make one’s day.
