Are you stressed? Are frigid temperatures and snow making you miserable?
According
to a
UCLA study, a ladies night can help you beat stress and the winter
blues!
Women’s bodies release a hormone called oxytocin to counteract the stress women feel. UCLA scientists claim that spending time with other women helps to increase your oxytocin production.

So, a ladies’ night with
your closest girlfriends is about more just than catching up and drinking a
glass or two of wine—a ladies’ night can improve your overall health!
By helping you to combat
stress, a ladies’ night benefits both you and your family.
With an extra boost of
oxytocin flowing through your body, the UCLA study asserts, you will feel a
greater need to care for your children and your family.
*Taking time out for
yourself doesn’t make you selfish; in fact, it makes you a more caring mother
and wife!*
Ladies night makes you
healthier and happier!
As
the Mayo
Clinic tells us, laughter is also a great stress reliever and mood lifter.
Laughter gives our bodies an abundance of benefits: laughter lowers blood
pressure, relieves muscle tension, releases healthy neuropeptides that may help
supercharge our immune systems, and more.
Attending
a comedy show with your girlfriends at The
Palace like Colleens
of Comedy or even enjoying the iconic and mood-lifting music of ARRIVAL-The
Music of ABBA will make you laugh and make you healthy.
So,
what is this science telling us? A ladies’ night filled with laughs—and perhaps
some heart-healthy red wine—should not be an infrequent occasion in your
calendar.
Make ladies’ night a
nonnegotiable part of your schedule!
