Face it. Turning 50 is a big deal and certainly a good reason to throw yourself a party. So what do you do? You want to feel good about yourself, right? Will it be Dinner? Spa? Road trip? One of our friends, and cherished blogger, Shari G., came up with a great idea for hers which made 34 women feel incredibly HOT!

Like, who doesn’t want to feel hot? Especially at 50, no less. I mean, I’m talking hot like your crotch is on fire.

Shari G. invited 34 of her best pals (that included her adorable mother and mother-in-law) for an evening of a Spin Class, Cocktails and a Delicious Dinner. The stay-in-your-stinky-clothes concept was the icing on the cake. Benching the dress-up…a brilliant addition.

This was a major league workout, too. A few of us dogged some of the intense spinning intervals but kept our legs in motion just to stay in the game.

“I’m not a fan of chafing” I heard someone say.

But most of the women, like Shari, gave it their all. It was some serious, sweaty fun and a great way to ring in the big 5-0! I think I drank enough water, but the concept of also hydrating with wine was very appealing to me.

Happy Birthday, Shari! You rock!
