A couple of weeks ago, I went out on Caitlin's Hens Night. Caitlin's wedding is coming up soon, so of course we had to go out and celebrate her last days as a single woman. (Don't you love how the 9 years that she's been with her partner Jack apparently don't count?).

Hens Nights are usually very girly events and Caitlin's was no exception. In the afternoon we maxed out on sugar with afternoon tea at Yauatcha. It's a fancy Yum Cha restaurant so the afternoon tea had a bit of an Asian theme. I wasn't really a fan of the green tea scones. Give me plain fluffy white scones anyday.

Afterwards we headed to Bloomsbury Bowl for bowling and karaoke (bowlaoke). Of course we girled it up in the karaoke room: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend and Material Girl all made an appearance.

I get extra girly points as I managed to fit in a blow dry in the morning and a manicure in the afternoon before heading off to Yauatcha. Any excuse for a bit pampering.


Unfortunately, Andrew and I won't be able to go to Caitlin and Jack's wedding. It's in Australia, we'll be in Croatia. As a little gift to go with our negative RSVP, I put together a bridal emergency kit. It's a little pack designed to be carried by the chief bridesmaid on the big day. It contains wet wipes, bandaids, panadol, safety pins, deodorant, lip balm, moisturiser spray and some love hearts for a bit of a sugar boost. They are all little things that you might need and don't want to be worrying about on your big day.

All the best for your big day, Caitlin and Jack! Andrew and I will be thinking of you both.
