It’s only Thursday and you’re already having weekend dreams and no-work wishes. Since you’re the type to indulge your desires, you’re quitting the cubicle life early today, rounding up your fly girl mafia, and heading to the Moore Building for the spring version of Shecky’s Girls Night Out. This bi-yearly event is the place to shop, sip free cocktails, enjoy gratis spa services, and be treated to more goodies than your swag-loving self can handle.

Worried you won’t be able to keep our composure in the face of this shopping extravaganza? Take a deep breath, grab a Bacardi Silver Mojito Madness, get a hand massage at Finlandia’s nature-inspired lounge, and then peruse the work of emerging designers selling their wares at discounts of up to 70 percent. A tip: The $10 admission will get you access to plenty of discounts and freebies, but shell out 25 bucks and you’ll be blessed with a deluxe goody bag chock full of must-haves from Dove, Borba, Crunch, and others. The fun is from 5 to 10 p.m. You can thank us later. Visit girlsnightout.sheckys.com.
