    The next time you have a girls’ night out, you’ll have to get ready together. It’s for your mental health and sanity. Need extra convincing? Here why you should: 

    The chance to catch up on gist

    This is when you brief them on all the happenings. If you don’t talk to certain people anymore, you’d want your girls to be aware. Anything can happen during a night out, and your girls need to be armed with all the current information. 

    Makeup activities 

    Even if you don’t use makeup, watching your friends get ready is such a chaotic experience. One person is blowing lash glue to dry faster; another is looking for an eyeshadow palette with a colour that’ll match the aesthetic. The chaos is 10/10.

    Pregaming drinks

    This is for the drinkers. You need to pregame with your girls. Alcohol is costly outside, so it’s important to drink before you go out so you can be lit without spending too much. It’s financial responsibility!!!!!
