how to celebrate a birthday in style

first, take 7 ladies who are more or less in need of some quality relaxation. put them in two cars and drive to a spa. there, enjoy various baths (with or without bubbles, somewhat hot to a little hotter), sauna or hammam (my new favourite). take tropical showers or stand under a bucket of cold water and pull the rope to get splashed with it.

once changed back to human form, go to a nice bar/restaurant. make sure more people are invited for this part. enjoy a nice dinner and some well-chosen wine (or so i was told, it's not like i know anything about it!). make sure even more people are invited for the after-dinner part of the evening and push the tables to the side so as to make space for an impromptu dance-floor in order to enjoy the amazing music the DJ is playing. make sure she knows her stuff and plays songs you haven't heard since you were about 10. now the party is in full swing and everyone's having fun, fun, fun.

when you get tired, make sure you leave with the person whose birthday it is so you can conveniently stay over at her place and not worry about getting home. this way, you can also tell everyone later that she really liked all her presents (and there were many!) and that she really enjoyed her day/night.
