Ladies Guide to a Night out Pt 2
The Look Alright so this is probably going to be your favourite chapter of the book because we are going to discuss how to get all dolled up if you will for the evening. This is going to include how to look for special occasions, as well as including how is the best way to dress for pub crawls like Bunny Hop which will also be covered more in Marathon Nights, or how to dress for which ever bar you are going to. This will help you not look like those girls who you see are hot messes at the bar, who cannot stand, or do anything based on their outfit choice. Makeup and hair will be the next because honey I can talk all day about what girls do wrong with makeup! But anyways, let’s get started to make sure that you all look BOM AF for a night out on the town!

Consent: A Crash Course
What is consent? Consent comes from the Latin word consentire which means “to have the same feeling.” It still means basically the same thing. According to the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center of University of Michigan, consent is defined as "...when someone agrees, gives permission, or says 'yes; to sexual activity with other persons." However, consent goes beyond sex and relationships. According to West's Encyclopedia of American Law, consent is defined as "...an act of reason and deliberation. A person who possesses and exercises sufficient mental capacity to make an intelligent decision demonstrates consent by performing an act recommended by another." In layman's terms, this means anyone who has the mental ability to say yes, and then does say yes, is consenting to whatever activity is proposed. This can be anything from playing board games all the way to kissing, touching, or having sex. Consent is an important part of our daily lives.

Yes...You ARE the Sh*t!
Many girls in this day and age suffer from low self-esteem. This self-doubt may stem from cultural expectations of beauty as well as what type of environment that little girl grew up in and what she witnessed as a child. Children are very impressionable, and a daughter looks to her mother's relationship with their father for guidance on how she should be treated when she gets older.
