The Girls' Holiday Preparation Checklist

A girls' holiday is the perfect excuse to turn your Instagram into an basic white bitch summer account, become uncomfortably close with your best friends and go a little bit crazy or a lot of crazy I won't judge ;) 

Since I'm heading off to Malia in almost a week (i'm totally not counting down the days cough 10 days cough) I decided to start on those holiday vibes early and get on that preparation. 

1. Prepare a summer playlist [ ]

Whether it's all the new hits for this summer or your old favourites, make a playlist for your trip that gets you in the summer mood. The best thing about this is when you listen to it after the holiday, it'll bring back all the feels! 

2. Get a new scent [ ]

You know when a certain smell triggers all these memories? Well by using a new scent on holiday every time you smell it after will take you back.

3. Workout a little bit extra [ ]

It's too late to get a complete summer body if you haven't been at it already for a few months but every little helps! Nothing is worse than feeling self conscious in a bikini.

4. Cut ties with party poopers [ ]

Considering last time I went on a girls' holiday I spent a good 40% of my time crying, this time i'm taking all the precautions. If there is someone in your life who upsets you or is a little unpredictable, cut them out at least a week before so you can have your cry time and then get back to the fun. Hopefully you'll have such a good time you'll cut them out for good! (gotta throw in some life advice while I'm here) 

5. Charge everything [ ]

By everything I mean cameras, speakers and phones because there is nothing worse then bringing something along and just before you wanna use it, it dies.

6. Plan events & parties you're attending before [ ]

Whether its a neon party or a bar crawl  you need to bring an outfit suitable for the occasion, or something you don't mind never wearing again due to an explosion of paint. And it's a good way to keep check of your already growing holiday fund.

7. Detox  [ ]

If you're planning on having a wild time on holiday, you need to let your body prepare for the amount of alcohol you're gonna be having. Have a healthy week before with no alcohol so you can feel that little bit less guilty when your downing 10 shots in a row.

8. Hang out with your squad [ ]

Whats almost as exciting as the holiday itself, is the planning and preparation for it all with your friends. Dancing around to your playlist and planning your outfits will totally give you those holiday vibes. 

9. Pamper session the night before [ ]

You know the holiday is going to be one big photo session and you want to look your best, or at least the best you can be after being hungover for 3 days in a row. 

10. GET EXCITE [ ]

By far the most import point to check off your list is to just leave all the drama and problems at home and prepare for a holiday you'll cherish forever.

Drunk Girl's Guide To Getting Free Drinks

Somethings about being a girl really suck. But somethings are pretty great, one of those things being that we somehow can always get a free drink or free entry on a night out. 

It may be a mixture of our good looks and a guys desperate attempt to get our attention but a free drink is a free drink right ladies? 

But for those nights where drinks aren't handed to us like we own the club, here are some of the techniques that i've tried and successfully tested to guarantee you always get things your way... 


The Flirt and Ditch 

This is by far the best technique, so I put it at number 1. It's pretty self explanatory, but strike up a conversation with someone while you're at the bar and before getting served. It does help if you inject a little flirtyness by complimenting them and stuff. If they are remotely interested in you they will ask you if you want a drink. Once you've got that drink make some excuse to meet your friends and ditch because you don't need no hangers on in your life. 


Befriending the Bartender 

The bartender is your key to getting any drink in the first place, they have control over who gets served first and just how much alcohol you get in your drink. Befriend them (if it's not too busy) by chatting or just helping them out. For example the girl serving me last night out got her hair caught in her zip so we attempted to help her get it out. She rewarded us with 2 drinks and 2 shots and pretty instant service for the rest of the night. If that's not a good deal I don't know what is! 


Become Your Friends, Friend 

Most of the time when your friend runs into someone you don't know it can be really awkward and you just stand there with the world's fakest smile. But if you get a little confidence and introduce yourself, you'll be included in their next round of drinks. (Just make sure you "happen" to be in the toilet before your round comes)


Eye Sex Across The Bar 

I hope you all know what I mean by eye sex and don't think it's some weird fetish of mine. For those who don't, it's when you catch someones eye and hold their gaze rather seductively. If it works, they will ask to bartender to give you a drink (which they pay for of course). Smile and take the drink and then disappear into the crowd. If they find you later pretend to have no idea what they are talking about. 


Be Blunt AF 

This is one to try when you've already had some of that liquid courage. Just stand next to someone while they are ordering and ask "what are you getting me then?" mostly likely they'll be a little taken back/attracted by your confidence and get you that drink. It also helps greatly if you're looking smoking hot and they think you might be interested. But just collect your drink and leave like nothing ever happened.....so much mystery. 


Be Annoying 

The more you ask for something the more people will get annoyed, to the point where they just want you to go away. So if you're feeling in a really "I don't care what you think of me" mood, hound someone until they buy you a drink just so you'll go away. You're only giving up a little of your dignity..but you still get that free drink and thats what counts! 

Hope this saves you some $$ xx
