As we’re getting back into the swing of the work year, it’s important we don’t let our social life slip through our fingers. Go have that glass of vino with your girlfriends after work, see that film with the cutie you met at a cafe last week, take yourself out for dinner.
That said, if you’re a busy working bee, we know how hard it can be to transform from office babe to RFW (ready-for-wine) on-the-go — so we’re here to help.
