Girls love having fun, and so much more…

The week before last I received a ‘girls only’ invite from a cute little place in town called I Love My Laundry.

With drinks supplied by Taittinger, the crowd was as rowdy as just a group of girls high on bubbles can be. There was gossip. And there was lingerie. There was the kind of small talk only we girls can find fascinating and there were the obligatory snide looks. We understand that this is how it is with girls. We laugh harder, we cry more, we shop to feel good and we shop to feel even better. And yes, we do love our laundry. And we love champagne. The person responsible for inviting the group of blogging girls clearly knows this.

We love this, and so, so much more…

I can go on…. We love Fridays, for example. It is a never-ending list (we love lists).

Girls, if you are looking for a place where you can at least satisfy some of your ‘loves’, head over to I Love My Laundry, which is an innovative eatery inside a …. laundry. Quirky and lovable this quaint concept is also home to I Love My Wine, which translates into delectable food and wine functions at the venue. Visit www.ilovemylaundry.co.za for more love.
