The Definitive Guide To Ladies Night Promos In Singapore That Don’t Involve Alcohol
Singaporeans are exceptional consumers. We’re all suckers for stuff like fancy packaging, free stuff, and promotions.
1-for-1 meals, 3-for-2 promotions, refer-a-friend credits, you name it, we have it. Of course, not forgetting the Ladies Night promotions. However, most Ladies Night promotions are for alcohol.
If you’re one of those who cannot hold their liquor, we’ve found a few ladies night promotions that don’t involve alcohol.

Well-known islands include Sisters island, Kusu island and St Johns island. Some of these islands are accessible by boat and will make for a nice relaxing day trip.

After trudging through the weekly work mountain, you exhale slowly whilst slamming your laptop shut; it’s finally Friday. It’s been a long week and you’re seriously in need of a recharge.

2. Art Jamming
[caption id="attachment_2604" align="alignnone" width="640"]They say life is an open canvas and you’re the artist. For folks like us, we’re more than pleased with an actual canvas and a brush. For now. At café-studios such as , unleash your inner Monet and let your imagination (or pent up stress) go wild. But if you can’t seem to locate your inner artist, worry not as these café-studios offer tutors who will have you discover your artsy side in no time.
