BY DUFFY PERKINS GIRLS’ NIGHT OUT: REINVENTED
Looking for some new ideas when it comes to your Girls’ Night Out? Whether you’re doing Dry January or simply looking for a creative way to get friends together without the same dinner and drinks playbook, here are some great ways to get everyone out of the house for a fun night.
Permanent Jewelry Permanent jewelry is a big trend these days. Allowing us to feel decorated and adorned all the time, the benefit of permanent jewelry is the lack of any clasp or hook. And since everything is fitted specifically to your body, there’s a bespoke element that will make the piece unique to you. Booking a permanent jewelry artist brings shopping into your home. Plan to get some bubbly, some good music, and invite all your girlfriends. Check out Sparked Together for your next girls’ night. Flower Arranging There’s a certain skill involved in flower arrangement. Learning to pair flowers and the natural greenery that grows in your yard to create beautiful tablescapes, wreaths, and
bouquets can bring an elevated aesthetic to your home. Enrolling in a floral workshop together will enable everyone to learn a new skill and also give you an opportunity to play with beautiful flowers. Wildflower Stem + Sundry in Arnold or Anne Arundel Community College offer floral design classes.
Personalized Makeup Tutorials Our skin today is not the same skin as it was five years ago. So why are we still using the same makeup products as we were back then? It’s time for an upgrade. Booking a makeup artist allows you to have someone look at your skin and advise you what products will make you shimmer, rather than betting on the knowledge of a random YouTuber. Girls’ Nights are meant to make us feel empowered and seen by each other. A makeup artist will help you feel beautiful in your own skin – what’s more appropriate for a girls’ night than that? Varuna Salon Spa offers group lessons using Smashbox. Essential Oils Party Essential oils are all the rage – from cleaning your house to making yourself smell like you just got back from a Bali yoga retreat. Learning about essential oils from a professional allows you to know which oils are best for you and your family, and will also give you the
knowledge to separate the real deal from cheap imitation “oils.” During a personalized event you’ll create your own signature scent, learn about the healing properties of oils, and bring more peace and calm into your home. Oils are very unique, and their properties bring out our very personal details. These personalized parties give us an opportunity to really listen to each other in a fun, safe environment. Check out Blended Essentials in Severna Park to reserve studio time or to take a class.
