Revamping Girls’ Night Out

Smart, simple ways to keep your best friends close

Girlfriends are an essential part of every woman’s life. We keep each other laughing and learning and…sane. Here are a few simple ways to make time for friends without having to make huge adjustments to your day planner. It’s all about multitasking, so you’re already a pro.

Run errands or work out together. You have to cross those things off your list anyway. Might as well gab on the go.
Schedule simultaneous pedicures or hair appointments at the same salon, at nearby stations. Pampering and good conversation…a perfect combination.
If you work together, schedule a mini potluck during your lunch hour.
Need a house project done? Instead of hiring it out, get a group of friends together once a month to paint someone’s kitchen, plant a garden or organize a basement. Rotate houses until everyone has been helped with a project. You’ll save time and money, and the end result will be a great reminder of your friendship.
