Ladies, you don’t have to worry about getting glammed up to the nines and slipping on a pair of crippling heals before you head into town to discover drinks prices have gone up and clubs and bars are dead. There is just as much fun to be had at home away from the tipsy types stumbling into you and treading on your toes. You can avoid the risk of drinks spilt on your fabulous new dress and shoes. You can avoid queueing up for hours outside your favourite haunt only to realise you’ve forgotten your ID and can’t get in anyway!

You’ve all heard of the Staycation; well, that doesn’t just have to apply to holidays! If you want to have a good evening with friends, invite them over instead, crank up the music and get as dressed up as you feel like, even if that means slouching around in a pair of tracksuit bottoms all evening. There is nothing more soothing than comfortable clothes, a smooth glass of sauvignon blanc, not to mention a couple of hours of pampering yourself and your friends! Slap on the face mask, slice up the cucumber and take it easy for a change.

That’s not all you can do, either. If you feel like living in the lap of luxury for a few hours, get your hands on some fabulous new make up to do some old-fashioned, sleepover-style makeovers. Better yet, make your moody teenager’s night and let them have their friends over for a bit of fun with some brand new lipstick, eyeliner and mascara, or even splash out on a gift set or two. They make excellent birthday presents!
