Girls’ Night Out.
Not too many years ago I thought this was just something young, carefree, single women did to relax after a “long” day at the office and to flaunt their beautiful, pre-children bodies in cocktail dresses.
Now, I live for Girls’ Night Out. Back when I lived in Utah, I used to get together with some of my local blogging friends for a monthly GNO. Here in Louisiana, I have a wonderful group of friends who get together every month or two for a couple hours respite from our roles as mothers.
We’ve dined out at different places around town, but my favorite girls’ night out was when we all went to Painting with a Twist here in Bossier City.
While we weren’t all dressed to the nines for our painting GNO, it is nice for a mom to be able to get dressed up to go out. One can only handle so much wearing of spit-up or mom shirts. You know the “mom shirts” I’m talking about. The shirts you’ve had for 10 years that are almost see through they’ve been worn so thin. To the mom shirts, I say, “Throw them out!” Don’t I wish! That would mean a quarter new wardrobe for me.
The spit-up, the jelly smears, and the refried beans from the toddler’s lunch are much easier problem to solve. I was recently sent some NEW Persil ProClean laundry detergent to try. I quickly put it to good use on my mom clothes.
The Persil ProClean bottle is probably the cleanest design (visually speaking) I’ve seen on a laundry detergent. I hadn’t even opened the bottle and they already had me thinking “clean”. When I did open the Persil ProClean I was greeted with the nice, but strong scent of laundry detergent. We usually use unscented detergent so I’m not used to powerfully scented laundry detergent. Those who enjoy scented laundry detergent will find the smell of the Persil ProClean Original Scent detergent pleasant.
*Though I didn’t review all of these, Persil ProClean Power-Liquid detergent and Persil ProClean Power-Pearls come in 4 varieties:
- Original Scent (this is the one I tried)
- Intense Fresh
- 2 in 1
- Sensitive Skin (this is the one I think I’ll try next time) 😉
The Power-Caps are pre-measured detergent capsules that combine Pro-Lift Stain Removers plus a brightness formula for powerful cleaning.
I really liked the Persil ProClean Power-Pearls. I used these on my whites, and I love how it brought back some of the vibrancy of my more dull, dingy whites. The Power-Pearls are formulated with Pro-White Technology for an exceptional clean and dazzling bright whites. Don’t think this Pearl cleaning power is reserved only for your white clothes. You can use the Pearls on colors too!
Now, for my “mom tips” because sometimes moms can get into a rut when it comes to what to wear when you’re not entertaining little goobers.
Here are a few quick tips that will make those girlfriends of your say, “Wow! She sure cleans up nice!”:
- Do your hair. If you normally let your hair air dry, take a straightening iron to it, or blow dry it with a large round brush.
- Go for skinny jeans, straight legged jeans, or a flattering skirt. Mom jeans are a no-go when you’re going out. Sorry. 😉
- Accessorize. A cute necklace and pair of earrings can make an outfit.
- Put on a pop of color. a complimentary color in your necklace, earrings, or shoes can add a beautiful finishing touch.
- Don’t forget makeup! I don’t usually wear makeup at home, and when I run errands I often only wear mascara and lip gloss. But when I’m going out on a date with my husband or on a Girls’ Night Out I like to do myself up pretty. It just makes me feel nice. 🙂
- Shoes! I’m all about comfort so I’ll usually don my favorite tall boots, or a colorful ballet flat. In the summer, I love a cute sandal with a bit of sparkle. If heels are your thing, go for a pair of pants with some fun heels!
- Remember, It only takes a few little changes to leave a big impression!
