What’s more fun than a girls’ night out? I’m a girly girl to the core when it comes to that stuff! I love getting dolled up and hitting the hotspots with my fave ladies. That’s why I can’t WAIT for Fashion’s Night Out in NYC! (It’s like the ULTIMATE GNO!)

When I’m getting ready for a girls’ night out, the soundtrack is essential. Maybe I’ll go old school, with a little Mary Jane Girls or Vanity, or dip into the gems that I loved in my college days – Total, Nicole Wray, or Tweet. Or Timbaland and Magoo.

Was this not the JAM? Don’t get me STARTED!

There’s something about dancing, maybe having a cocktail, getting your makeup on, then heading out on the town with your besties that always makes for a magical evening. If you visit Dance With Caress, you can get girls’ night out tips from two time “Dancing with the Stars” champion Julianne Hough. One of them I can definitely agree with – your skin is your best accessory. That’s what Caress Whipped Souffles are all about. I love the blackberry cream scent SO much ! And YAY, my friends at Caress are offering Afrobella readers a truly awesome giveaway, just in time for my anniversary week!

It’s the Caress Girls’ Night Out Whipped Souffle Giveaway! See all that in the photo above? It could be YOURS!

New Caress Whipped Soufflés Body Washes (Blackberry Cream & White Peach Cream)

a Susan Farber hot pink clutch that is SO cute, am I right?

A pink iPod Nano so you can bump your girls’ night out soundtrack as you get ready to hit the town!

I like to listen to "Hot Boyz" by Missy, "Diva" by Beyonce, and "Roll it Gal" by Allison Hinds. Those three songs always get me in the mood for a GNO!

B.Renee says:

Greetings! My girls and I formed a little 'club' called the MWC (Married Women's Club) we meet the first Sunday of every month - take two vacations a year together and host various events at each others homes for just us - including our signature event - the Rupaul Drag Finale Party, where we dress in full drag, watch the finale and strut. Before we started doing this my get dress song was Super Model to begin with and now my get dressed song is Cover Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3RB_56WziA To get into my fabulousness and maintain it - this song is perfect!!

InnaLeigh says:

August 20, 2010, 2:11 pm

For me and my friends, this 90s classic always does the trick. You can NEVER, EVER go wrong with Total...No matter how old us ladies get, this song gets us going and singing everytime! And how could you forget about LL, nuff said! Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX0vp64BAtQ

Lioness says:

August 20, 2010, 2:30 pm

Hands down for me is Queen Latifah's "Ladies First" featuring Monie Love. Why you ask? It's empowering! After I finish with listening (and dancing) to this, it reconfirms my belief I can be strong, yet femine and always a Lady first(just not a rapper, I'll leave that for La and Monie lol)

What better song to get you ready for a night out with the girls than Beyonce's Freakum Dress.

HappyToBeNappy (Aisha Kelson) says:

August 20, 2010, 2:36 pm

Don't we all wanna put on our "Freakum Dress" when we hit the town with our girls?? It's just one of those songs that makes me feel sexy & makes me wanna get up and dance. Sorry about posting 2 comments...my computer went crazy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArDXxTsJJoo

August 20, 2010, 2:40 pm

This one is easy: I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas. A classic. This song changes my mood for the better every time I hear it.

Becky says:

August 20, 2010, 2:44 pm

My favorite Girls Night Out song is: Kanye West featuring T-Pain Good Life. It gets me excited to go out. The song is so fun, it makes you feel so carefree. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEKEjpTzB0Q&feature=av2e

Dee Dee says:

August 20, 2010, 2:45 pm

Mine is "Click, Flash" by Ciara from the Sex and the City: The Movie soundtrack. It makes me feel so glamorous and fabulous for a night out with my gals! ;)

Kimmie says:

August 20, 2010, 2:48 pm

The original "Ladies Night" by Kool and the Gang NEVER FAILS to get me hype!! It takes me forever to get ready so I have a couple others lol. "Upgrade U" & "Get Me Bodied" by Beyonce, "Do U Love What U Feel" & "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka, "Encore" by Cheryl Lynn. I do admit that I sometimes crank some hardcore rap music depending on my mood lol. Sometimes I just feel the need to get ignant & put some stank on the situation lol.

Tdymples says:

August 20, 2010, 2:48 pm

"Dance Tonight" by Lucy Pearl.... hands down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi2L9cB_NQ0 So bummed I couldn't find a clip but "Roll" by Brig Feltus is a great "Girls Night Out" song!!

Afropean Queen says:

August 20, 2010, 2:56 pm

Hi, am not sure I qualify but am willing to give it a go........ My song is by Lauryn Hill (Bob Marley), turn your lights down low, this live version. I swear, every time we play that, we keep it on repeat and turn the sound up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, I just love love love Those shoes and that energy. Here's the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV2WDax0KNQ

Kimmie says:

August 20, 2010, 3:06 pm

U guys are making me want to go out lol! "Click Flash" is such a cute song. I love it! "Good Life" is so hype! "Turn Your Lights Down Low" is a favorite but it makes me weepy & silly like schoolgirl crush silly lol So that could be good too. I like "Got Money" by Lil Wayne too if I'm feelin "Bossy" lol

SM says:

August 20, 2010, 3:17 pm

"high heels, hair did, ain't nobody rock a dress like you" This past year the song BE WHERE YOU ARE by Trey Songz has been a constant in my GNO soundtrack. Just the simple ritual of getting dressed when you know you're going to have fun that night can be sexy and this song captures that. Plus the sound of Trey's voice singing how a woman getting dressed is sexy makes it even more so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smCkFNqMbzo

KindredSmile says:

August 20, 2010, 3:17 pm

One of my faves is definitely Baby, Baby, Baby by TLC. It makes for great karaoke when getting ready to go out. **throws gauntlet**

Margaret says:

August 20, 2010, 3:22 pm

When I'm getting ready to go out I go old school - Knee Deep by Funkadelic! Nothing like it to get you in a party mood.

bella says:

August 20, 2010, 3:26 pm

I miss Magoo!! He was one of the best worst-rappers-of-all-time!

bella says:

August 20, 2010, 3:27 pm

YESSS! Roll It Gyal is the JAM! And I LOVE Hot Boyz! Great picks!

bella says:

August 20, 2010, 3:27 pm

ooooh! I love that, and I Can't Wait by Nu Shooz. Great picks!

Mzmillion says:

August 20, 2010, 3:34 pm

I would have to go with Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIb6AZdTr-A You can't really dispute Cyndi. The phone rings in the middle of the night My father yells what you gonna do with your life Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one But girls they want to have fun Oh girls just want to have That's all they really want Some fun When the working day is done Girls - they want to have fun Oh girls just want to have fun

summerjaxon says:

August 20, 2010, 3:44 pm

Diva by Beyonce is the fav girls night out jam

Mzmillion says:

August 20, 2010, 3:45 pm

oh Cyndi would be the fave because who doesn't want to have that one night out when they hear this song. It pretty much motivates you to have the perfect, most fun night ever.

Berryblack says:

August 20, 2010, 4:06 pm

I think this song might wake me from a coma: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IBRbzf3Fws "It takes 2" Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock The song just makes you want to move---no matter what kind of day you have had!

Marcy says:

August 20, 2010, 4:08 pm

Wow... my go-to get ready to go out songs when I was in college were Allure's "Enjoy Yourself" and Kelis' "Spot" once that song started playing everyone on my floor in my dorm knew what was about to do Allure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hKDBnE7dD0 Kelis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qC22yOT-ls

Shontae says:

August 20, 2010, 4:39 pm

Buy You A Drink is definitely my favorite. It's just the right tempo to dance to with a cocktail in your hand and still be cute with it. lol Every time I hear it, I'm ready to get on the dance floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui86peQZ74s

Lboogie says:

August 20, 2010, 4:46 pm

When I'm getting ready to go out with my girls, I play "She Wants To Move" by NERD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDkyX7OhCPo

Lendise says:

August 20, 2010, 4:47 pm

My song is "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" by the Gap Band. Something about that song just gets me in a good mood. From the first notes, I feel different. It makes me want to have some fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lkdqoLt44

Leeta says:

August 20, 2010, 4:54 pm

Shan says:

August 20, 2010, 4:58 pm

My favorite is Queen Pen's 'Party ain't a party'. That takes me back to freshman year.

Shan says:

August 20, 2010, 4:59 pm

Angelina says:

August 20, 2010, 5:08 pm

This is a no-brainer-- "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls!!!

Carmesha says:

August 20, 2010, 5:21 pm

My favorite is "Get Me Bodied" by Beyonce, but I used to looove " Jumpin' Jumpin' " by Destiny's Child

Shalema says:

August 20, 2010, 5:32 pm

My freshman year of college (1999), we use to go to a party in the school gym called "The Sweat Box." While getting ready for the party we would jam to Destiny's Child's first album, Writing's On the Wall. Tracks like Bug a Boo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9lLCdSRP7U), Jumpin, Jumpin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjw92oUduEM&feature=av2e), Say My Name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQgd6MccwZc&feature=av2n), and So Good (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fxUQtVTygI&feature=related) always got us in party mode.

Roz says:

August 20, 2010, 5:35 pm

One of my FAVE getting ready to go out songs is Mariah Carey "It's Like That." Always gets me ready!

Afia says:

August 20, 2010, 5:52 pm

Get me Bodied by Beyonce always gets me going and in the right mood!!

Dricka says:

August 20, 2010, 6:09 pm

"Party Girl by Janelle Monae" hands down! the lyrics describe the getting ready experience perfectly especially the line "gotta get there early before 12 because its free" lol. And the beat is so feel good.

Angel says:

August 20, 2010, 6:25 pm

Kelis - Weekend It's my favorite because the beat is intoxicating and I can't help but to dance when I hear it. I put it on when I am either leaving the house to meet my crew or when I'm getting ready.

Maya says:

August 20, 2010, 6:30 pm

This is...atypical, I guess, but when I'm getting ready to go out I love to listen to "Out Tonight" from the Rent Soundtrack! "So let's find a bar/ so dark we forget who we are/ Where all the scars from the Nevers and Maybes die" It's the kind of song that makes me want to lose all my inhibitions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8EoKhm7KFQ

LiyahPearl says:

August 20, 2010, 7:06 pm

My favorite girls night out song is Chillin by Wale ft. Lady Gaga. Such a great song to get hyped up to.

Xhalted1 says:

August 20, 2010, 7:16 pm

My favorite Girl's night out song is none other than "Jumpin Jumpin" by Destiny's Child. It truly gets me amp'd and ready to party.

Daree says:

August 20, 2010, 7:26 pm

I love the Beyonce jams, but that's too easy. I'm gonna reach back a bit and nominate Mariah carey's "It's Like That." Mimi is feeling confident and about to let her hair down-- it makes you feel good when you're getting ready to go out, and it's got a cocky flavor to it too: "Everybody's livin' it up All the fellas keep lookin' at us, 'cause me & the firls are on the floor like what? while the DJ keeps on spinnin' the cut It's like that y'all, like that y'all...."

mochamishmash says:

August 20, 2010, 7:26 pm

My current fave going out song is OMG by Usher.

Ashley T. says:

August 20, 2010, 7:27 pm

My favorite girls night out out song is Beyonce's, "Freakum Dress." The song just gives me this energy and extra boost of confidence. And it makes me want to run to my closet and put on the hottest dress i own! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArDXxTsJJoo&feature=player_embedded

chic in a lab coat says:

August 20, 2010, 7:37 pm

My favorite girls night out song is "survivor" by Destiny's child. This song puts us in a good mood while reminding us of how far we have come. All the hurdles we have cleared and the challenges we have overcome. It is groovy, it's encouraging, and it's fun to listen to.

Tiana says:

August 20, 2010, 7:57 pm

My favorite GNO song is No Scrubs by TLC. It puts you in a mood to hang out with your girlfriends and not put up with anything less than the best that you deserve from guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLORlKRW5v4

Tiffanie says:

Going in a completely different direction, when we were much younger and both going through my best friend and I were driving around and she threw in a Maxwell CD and declared that this was her theme song. The song was "Lifetime." and in the middle of traffic in Houston, we started screeching the chorus with feeling. "I can let my life pass me by or I can get down and try to work it out this lifetime." So that chorus is definitely our theme song. Don't let it come on while we are out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMAHTZ2nBvk

My ultimate fav going out song is Aaliyah Back and Forth. ESPECIALLY the first verse. Its speaks for itself. You know you cute and your singing the song as you put on that final coat of lipgloss, nail polish or the final polishes on that fly hairdo LOL. Love it!

My favorite girls's night out song is "Dance Tonight" by Lucy Pearl. It's such a smooth groove (that sounds corny I know) but in college, that was always our focus. It's a great "getting ready for the club" song and it features the legendary Raphael Saddiq. How could you go wrong with him?!?!

"I Feel for You" by Chaka Khan. Whenever my sister, my mom, or my aunt are going somewhere with our hair out, big, and beautiful we can't help but let out a "cha-chak-Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan lemme rockya Chaka Khan!" lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObjLb6ElTvs

My favorite getting ready song is "Seconds of Pleasure" by Van Hunt because even when I'm feeling a little down about body, I put that song on while I'm putting on my flowing tops or dresses, and I switch my hips to it. Then I begin to see my beautiful curves and I feel confident again!

My favorite Girls Night Out song is "Freakum Dress" by Beyonce. Its my fav because the lyrics are about a GNO, and the beat is bananas!

Ms Diva says:

August 23, 2010, 8:53 am

Angie Martinez, Lil Kim, Left Eye, Da Brat & Missy Elliott - Ladies Night (circa 1997) love love LOVE this song.... bump this as you head out and it will definitely put you in the mood to jam all night long!

Nikki says:

My favorite GNO song is Regulate by Warren G. During my college days, my roommate and I would play this song as we prepped for the weekend party on campus. I think it was the story that he and Nate Dogg told (because something ALWAYS happened by the time we got back to our room!!) that got us all hyped up!

TrueGem says:

August 23, 2010, 11:33 am

My favorite Girls Night Out song is 'This is How We Do It" By Montell Jordan. It's just a fun song, that you can dance and be silly to with your girls while getting ready. Also, a runner up is 'Shawty is a 10' By The Dream. Makes you feel super cute while looking in the mirror putting make on :-)

Cecilia says:

August 23, 2010, 12:01 pm

Thinking over all of the different songs I like made it really difficult to pick one. But I guess if I was having a girls night out, we would definately all have to turn on swag on, just like soulja boy so I had to pick his song! Just thinking of it makes me think about going out and having fun! That fast beat could make anyone want to smile and dance! So "turn my swag on" by soulja boi would have to be my girls night out pick!

Hey Mr. DJ - Zhane always gets me in the mood to go out & have fun! I fell in love with this song when Tatyana Ali (Ashley Banks) sang it on "The Fresh Prince"! It's just an easy groove song that I can get glam to for a night out!

My favorite "girls night out" song is "It Takes Two" by Rob Base. I'm an 80's baby, and I still jam to this. This song takes me back to roller rink, and skating my behind off. When I want to get my self pumped up for a girls night out. I bump this really loud. It always gets me hyped.

Stephanie says:

August 24, 2010, 10:15 am

My fave going out song right now is "Can I borrow you?" by Eric Roberson. A VERY close second would be "Get By" by Talib Kweli. It's fun to go out and let my hair down knowing my honey will be there for me later ;)

My favorite song for a ladies night on the town...definitely Kelly Rowland's "Like This" featuring Evie-Eve I'm excited to try out the Caress Whipped Souffles. That Blackberry Cream would be divine with the Bath and Body Works Summer Vanillas lotion in Berry!

Kristian says:

August 24, 2010, 1:55 pm

since i'm from the south, new orleans to be exact, me and my girls have no choice to play Juvenile "Drop It Like it's Hot" and there's always a problem because we're always too busy dancing in the mirror instead of getting dressed.

Daniela says:

August 24, 2010, 2:25 pm

Our GNO jam Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody?" - LOVE IT! This song will make us stop mid-makeup to dance our (really terrible) version of the video's choreography. We're terrible dancers but you'd swear we were the original backup dancers the way we get to moving! LOL
