After coming home from your 9 to 5, do you feel wound up, anxious or just plain, old tired? This isn’t uncommon — the modern employer has high expectations for their employees. These expectations can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve already got a lot on your plate. Instead of letting your stress and anxiety build up, you should gather your friends and have a girls’ night out! This is the perfect way to let off some steam and have fun with your friends. By Monday morning, you’ll be feeling refreshed and ready to take on the week.
However, you’re probably bored of going to the same bars and pubs for your weekend endeavours. If you’re looking for a change of scenery, you should consider the following suggestions:
Axe Throwing
You may have seen videos of this bar sport on social media. Even though it’s a relatively new sport, axe throwing has become one of the go-to activities for birthday parties, bachelorette parties and, of course, girls’ nights.
Axe throwing is similar to darts in the sense that you throw an object at a target and hope to score the most points.
However, that’s where the similarities end; instead of darts, you throw professional throwing axes, the scoring system is different, and there’s an additional target called the “clutch”. Despite these differences, axe throwing is relatively straightforward, so you’ll be able to pick it up in no time.
Not to mention, many axe throwing leagues allow patrons to bring food into the playing area; some associations also have liquor licenses. This means that you can eat delicious food, enjoy a few drinks and learn a new sport — it’s practically guaranteed that you and your girls will have a blast!
Glow in the Dark Bowling
Think back to when you were a child; what was the most fun thing that you could do with your friends? Go bowling! But, not just any bowling alley would do. You wanted glow in the dark bowling!
Bowling is fun regardless of if you’re 14 or 41. It brings out the inner child in anyone and is always a good time, irrespective of your skill level.
If it’s been a while since you’ve last bowled, you may want to find a bowling alley that has bumpers on their lanes. If you think you still have some bowling skills, you can go for a round of traditional 10-pin or switch things up by playing a round of duckpin bowling. Call your local bowling alley ahead of time to see which options they offer and at what times.
If you want to stand out under the glow in the dark lights, you and your girls should try to remember to wear the following bright colors:
- White
- Red
- Pink
- Yellow
These colours really seem to pop under glow in the dark lights, making them ideal choices for a girls’ night out.
Nothing feels better than spending time with your friends after a hectic week at work. If you’re in dire need of a girls’ night out, round up your girls for a night of axe throwing or glow in the dark bowling.
