MUST HAVES – THE NIGHT OUT APPLICATION
I heard about a smart-phone application called Night Out. I checked out their website and they claimed that they “give you up-to-the-minute information based on location, including deals, happy hours, events & more” and that they “give you an assortment of unique deals from your favorite places right around you.” I decided to put the application to the test and thought I would use it to plan a girls’ afternoon/night out…
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FooRU1hcIWE
Earlier in the afternoon, I had looked through the Night Out application on my iPhone to find some fun activities {and good deals!} for my girlfriends and me. All I did was click the Night Out app, selected the “Deals” tab and… bam!… 55% off of two tastings and a free bottle of wine for only $25 {at one of my favorite tasting rooms, Kalyra}. Purchased! Off to a good start…
We had such an incredible time wine tasting, that we decided to keep the night going. I used the Night Out Happy Hour tab. It shows you all of the Happy Hours in your vicinity {I think everyone is aware of my overwhelming love of all Happy Hours}… we picked one within walking distance and definitely made the right choice. Enterprise Fish Co. has an incredible Happy Hour {and their calamari was to die for}.
After wine, calamari, shrimp quesadillas, and way too much laughter… the girls and I decided to finish off the night with… even more food. I clicked the “Deals” tab once more and was pleasantly surprised that one of my favorite restaurants, Milk & Honey, was offering a free dessert deal. Sold.
Final Thoughts: I highly recommend downloading this application. It’s location specific {they’re adding new cities constantly}, keeps you in the loop as to local deals, happy hours, and events, AND it saves you money {without making it look like you’re trying to save money… you just look tech savvy}. Download the application asap. Here’s a link to sign up for free: http://nightout.com/get-started/blonder -

MUST HAVES – GIRLS WEEKEND
I feel so fortunate that I have been able to spend the past two weekends surrounded by women of such a high caliber. The girls in my life that I am lucky enough to call my “friends” are driven, independent, have a wicked sense of humor, a sharp sense of style {each unique}, and are kind-hearted. Here’s a peek into my past two weekends with my girlfriends…
Weekend #1: Celebrating my sister’s birthday in Los Angeles. Brunch in Beverly Hills. Champagne and cupcakes in our room at the W in Hollywood. Dinner at Lexington Social House complete with Superhero cocktails {with Pop Rocks} & fried chicken. Cocktails at the Station Lounge. Sunday brunch at Toast.Weekend #2: Pink champagne in a stretch limousine. Dinner and drinks at Arch Rock Fish {with too much laughter for words}. Bottle service at Eos {aka bottles of Veuve Clicquot topped with fiery sparklers}.
