Anyone who knows me knows that I’m the world’s biggest homebody. Maybe it’s because I’m a Cancer, or perhaps I’ve truly embraced my inner grandma. I’ve never been much of a night owl or partier — the clubbing and bar scenes are not for me! And in the city that never sleeps, sometimes it feels like that’s all there is to do at night.
But who says you have to leave your apartment to have fun? Today I’m sharing 5 fun ideas for a cozy and relaxing girls’ night in, all from the comfort of your PJ’s!
Watch a rom com. Cheesy movies that give you all the feels, what more could you ask for? Some of my favorite rom coms: Notting Hill (1999), To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018), Bridesmaids (2011), The Proposal (2009), and Legally Blonde (2001).
Have a slumber party + spa night. Bring out allll the face masks! Wear your favorite PJ’s and #treatyourself.
Host a dinner party + game night. Cooking for friends is way more fun than cooking for yourself. Host your friends over for a dinner party and have everyone bring a dish! Hey, you could even all bake together if you’re up for it. BYOB and your favorite board game for a night you won’t forget. My favorites: Codenames (not to brag but I am a master at this), Monopoly Deal, and the crowd-pleaser Cards Against Humanity.
Read a book. Sometimes all you need is a quiet night to yourself. Curl up in bed with your favorite book and a cup of tea (or glass of wine), and let yourself be transported to a time and place far, far away. Some books I’ve read lately that I love: Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan, Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, and Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Eat breakfast in bed. Who says the fun has to stop at night? Continue relaxing through the morning by having your breakfast in bed. My go-to breakfast usually consists of avocado toast, a smoothie, and the occasional cookie or cupcake. 🙂
Now kick back, relax, and enjoy the ultimate staycation of your dreams!
