In a fast-paced world, it’s hard to find time to relax and slow down for the night. We’re often trying to fill our schedules with action and busyness, but forget to take time to unwind by staying in and embracing the simplicity of a perfect night in.
Staying in can be the perfect solo retreat, and a low key way to spend time with friends. Following the “Girl’s guide to a perfect night” is guaranteed to foster a night of relaxation, memories, and enjoyment.
Get into your comfiest clothes
Whether you wear pajamas, sweatpants, sweatshirts, or shorts, the most important part of making this a cozy night in is getting comfortable. You’ll want to dress in your most comfortable clothes to embrace the warm and cozy vibes, which will set the mood for the rest of the night.
Grab lots of pillows and blankets
This is also a crucial part of making your night cozy and perfect. Wherever you are planning to stay throughout the night, you will need lots of pillows and blankets to make sure that you are the absolute comfiest you can get. The more pillows and blankets, the more comfy and cozy you will be.
Make a delicious meal
Making a meal will help you to start your night on a good note with a full stomach. You can also get quite creative here. For example, you can grab some pizza dough and make a fun-shaped pizza. You can also make tiny personal pizzas with lots of new toppings. Pasta is also a yummy and easy meal. My favorite meal on a night in is spicy vodka pasta.
Cocktails or mocktails
Has there been a new drink you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to try out? A night in is the perfect opportunity to try out a fun cocktail, mocktail, or even a new wine. Something to sip on will help you relax and enhance the fun vibes throughout the night.
Pick an activity
The activity is the main event of the night and the most exciting. Now that you’re in your comfy clothes with a meal and drink, you’ll want to get creative. There are many options to choose from, especially if you stroll the aisles of Walmart. However, some suggestions are painting canvases, making clay figures, making friendship bracelets, painting drinking glasses or even making slime. These will keep you entertained for quite a while before it’s time to relax for the last part of the perfect night in.
Watching comfort movies
Lastly, to top off the perfect night in, you’ll want to watch a variety of your comfort movies or even a new movie that you’ve been dying to watch. Some of my go-to films on a night in are rom-coms such as Set it Up, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Anyone But You or Clueless. You can also dive into the classic romance movies such as The Notebook or Pretty Woman. As long as you have a movie playing on your TV that you know you will enjoy, your perfect night in will be stellar.
The perfect girl’s night doesn’t have to revolve around gossip or alcohol. You can create memories and enjoy yourself simply from the comfort of your own home with loved ones. Following this guide to a perfect night in will help you relax and recharge in preparation for your upcoming week.
