A Few Must-Haves for a Night Out on the Town!
Heading out for a night on the town? Make sure you’re prepared! Natalie from The Frugalista is here to suggest a few items to toss in your clutch before leaving the house. Be sure to check out her blog on how to live the frugal and fabulous life!
These days, I like to think of myself as a reformed party girl, but I don’t think that’s exactly accurate. I still like to click my heels on South Beach for a night or two. Once a social butterfly, always a social butterfly. Here are a few of my tips to make your nightlife turn out right.
-
Pre-party, put on bronzer: Nothing says “I’m stepping out” like a good dusting of shimmery (not shiny) powder about the collar bone, upper cheek and shoulders. Don’t leave home without it – on your body!
-
Clear deodorant in the car: Sometimes we don’t put on deodorant until after we pull that slinky dress over our body, and then forget to apply it at all. Keep a stash of antiperspirant in your car glove compartment because musty is not sexy.
-
Before you slip on those stilettos, if you have a purse that’s bigger than a clutch, be sure to add fold able flip flops, such as Pocketflops. The night may be long and nothing looks worse than a woman in a pair of shoes that hurt.
-
Do not forget your lip gloss in your purse. Given today’s point-and-click lifestyle, chances are pictures of your night will end up on Facebook or Twitter. The least you can do is have your mouth glossed to pouty perfection.
-
Also, bring facial powder. Only thing that should be shiny is your hair. You are not Rudolph the Red Nosed-Reindeer. Don’t let your nose shine.
-
Tic Tacs: Now I’m vintage with the Tic Tacs, but any old minty breath mint will do. Rounds of drinks breed halitosis. Don’t be a victim!
-
Neck bling: Wear a medallion necklace or something else that’s eye catching. If the necklace hangs right over the chest, even better!
