Girlfriends + Martinis + No Kids = An Awesome Night

Girlfriends + Martinis + No Kids + Diva Girl Game = A Hilarious Awesome Night

I love being mummy, really I do.  But sometimes, even the most loving mummies need to get out.  And what better way to refill the oxygen tanks than to hang out with your girls, have a drink and a gossip… and play a game.  Diva Girl added a really fun dimension to our night.

The Diva Hostess

We had all brought a “Diva Gift” (anything from magazines to tea to mascara to candles).  We were in our comfy clothes with a Diva accessory -  boas, tiaras, gloves and PJs.  I must say, we were very fashion forward.

The table all set for the mummies.

There were snacks galore and my husband was making drinks for us; martinis, prosecco and red wine. I was in my happy place.

Diva Girl Game is very straight forward, which is nice because after a few bevvies, complex can quickly become frustrating.  It also allows for lost of socializing and visiting while playing. The other good thing was nobody ever felt in the “hot seat” – there was no pressure to perform – other than keeping track of which card was called (after a few martinis I was a little loose and needed a little help).  Nobody had to sing, draw or do anything where a team was counting on them. Winning was part of the fun too. We were all clearly Canadian being polite and respectful about stealing gifts. A new level of competitiveness could be added if we had been really aggressive with gift stealing.

Diva Girl in full swing!

The game itself is brilliantly created. Each card is linked to items many women really love: from diamonds and facials to sexy slippers and mocha. Players have to draw matching cards and earn “Diva Dollars” along the way. Each new winner got to pick a new gift or steal an already opened gift. The player at the end with the most Diva Dollars is awarded a hostess gift.

DivaGirl sells for $19.95 at divagirl.bz.  A portion of the proceeds goes to Home Makers, a micro-lending program for Nigerian women with AIDS, and Camp Laurel, a Pasadena-based organization that provides educational camping experiences for young people living with HIV/AIDS.

All in all it was a fabulous night.  There were loads of laughs and all around great girltalk.  We swapped kiddo stories and really enjoyed hanging out. The game added a fun dimension to our evening.  I would definitely bring my game to other girlie events or host another Diva Girl evening.

Just so we’re clear – I was sent the Diva Girl Game in exchange for writing this review.  This endorsement is an honest reflection of my game evening. Thank you to Nancy and Liz at Diva Girl for the opportunity (and excuse) to host a fantastic mummy  evening.
