Cozy Night In

While the weather is still so frosty and days at Uni feel so long, when you get home everyday all you want to do is curl up at home in bed, watching your favourite Netflix show with a bunch of snacks. Instead of opting for a wild night out some times you have to treat yourself a little extra to that ultimate cozy night in. In this post I'm going to share what I do for my cozy nights in with a good film or show, inspired by the wonderful Adore Me, after all you can't have the perfect cozy night in without the comfiest and most beautiful attire to make you feel comfortable and also great about yourself.

   

For my cozy night in, there are a few essentials I need. Firstly I get the snacks prepared to watch Netflix. I usually eat the general choice of popcorn, yum, or chocolate. If my boyfriend is around we normally share a Ben and Jerry's ice cream tub between us (Phish Food or Chocolate Fudge brownie are the ultimate treat), although it's not a healthy choice, you have to treat yourself. The obvious beverage choice would be a hot chocolate also, which always goes well with cold nights.

Next, there is the choice of movies or TV shows to chill and watch, which is a hard decision. Currently I've been obsessed with Gilmore Girls, on Netflix. If anyone's not heard of Gilmore Girls you should check it out, it's a series surrounding a mother Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory from the 2000's. It's so addictive and I would recommend it to anyone, I've already gotten my friends obsessed too. The other perfect choices are Netflix original series like Stranger Things, which I would rewatch over and over, and also the new series A Series of Unfortunate Events which I have started.

To make the cozy night in complete you need the prefect slumber wear, PJ's or cute underwear. Depending on your mood and vibe your choice of clothing can be varied. I was inspired by some of the products and images from Adore Me for my cozy night in ideals. They have a wonderful range of lingerie and sleepwear that would be perfect for my perfect night in, and I love some of the pieces on their website, they look like the perfect pieces to complete your Netflix cozy night in. The below images are the images that inspired me for this cozy night in post and also what I imagine for my own night in, just look how pretty. 

   

My favourite pieces from the website is this Primrose black slip which looks super cozy, breathable and comfortable, for those super lazy days. Also the Margaery PJ set which looks stretchy and soft and perfect for lounging around the house all cozy. I would recommend checking the Adore Me website out, they'll have items suitable for everyone's individual styles and lounge wear tastes!

For my cozy nights recently, I've been choosing some comfy Disney PJ's, very suitable for Disney films. Also any cute lingerie doesn't go amiss, the Tommy Hilfiger one above is my favourite to wear at the moment. I've been having way too many Netflix cozy days lately, I'd love to hear what everyone else does for their cozy nights, especially as Valentines day is coming up.

What does everyone else like to do on their chill or cozy nights in?

Christmas Eve

I may as well start of this post by saying Merry Christmas everybody! I have failed to do any Christmas posts and this makes me sad because Christmas is the best time of year and I didn't take advantage of it. Anyway, I'm here to write about all the great festive things one can do, well what I usually do on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is like the most relaxed day of the year for me and I really enjoy taking time to chill and have no stress.

On Christmas Eve I normally watch Christmas films with my family and have dinner somewhere with them. I'd curl up on the sofa with a fluffy blanket and some chocolate of some description, I'm such a bad person for sitting through films unless it's in the cinema, I'm a TV show type of gal, so it's nice to do for a change. My Christmas film favourites are Elf, the Santa Clause and Muppets Christmas Carol, all classics. 

Having a bath on Christmas Eve has kind of become a tradition too so this year I've used Lush's Snow Fairy shower gel as a bubble bath and dropped a few Brilliant Bath Fizzers by Joules in too. I'd read a book and relax for the rest of the night after that after putting on fresh new Christmas pajamas. Nothing like a cozy night in to put you in the Christmas spirit.

I love Christmas Eve because you know Christmas is so soon and you can feel the excitement in the air, most of the time, if you're not last minute shopping. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy your time with friends and/or loved ones. Happy holidays!

I'd love to hear your festive traditions and stories!
