I'm always going out whether it's to an event for a product launch or an appointment of some kind; however, there is something about going out for fun that is a must and yet can be the hardest thing to get on the calendar! Last week my boyfriend went out on a boys night and I'm not going to lie I was a little bummed as I thought it would be a great night in but he wanted the chance to hang out with his friends and he even brought someone from his office that he wanted to know better! Two of my best friends that I have known over the past almost 2 - 3 years email each other go out in twos but rarely do we all go out. I'm the single girl with the long term boyfriend that I live with, Keren (in the middle of the only color image included) is married and a mommie of 1 and Tessa on the right is married with a puppy! We all work in fashion and we're all super busy but we were determined to get time on the calendar and with that, in a very Sex and the City way is how 3 girls met in Midtown although Tessa lives in the Financial District, Keren is in North Jersey (in a fab building with amazing city views - although Tessa's views are AMAZING) and I live on the beach in Long Beach headed down for the classic drinks and nibbles at Tessa's place and on to some amazing bars at the Seaport. A girls night out where we just laughed had drinks and shots (and shots and shots) was one of the best times that I have had in a long time. We were able to catch up on what we were up to, what we were thinking of doing and just enjoying an amazing July that wasn't too hot and had just enough breeze. These are essential moments and regardless of the economy and what amount of time you have available having moments like this with your boys, girls or whoever you hold dear is important for your general health. On this Sunday, start a tradition whether this happens once a month or every other month. But this is not exclusive to just your friends. Paul and I every Sunday have dinner on our balcony which means we usually grill and it's a nice way to do something we do every night in a different way.
