Snowy Night In

Hey there everyone. Today it has snowed a good ten feet, so I'm spending a Saturday night in. Everyone loves a good party but once in a while its good to let your body have a little break. Some detox time. Pick a feel good movie. When ever I'm down, bored, or need some help relaxing there are two movies I turn to. Legaly Blond and 10 Things I Hate About You. I know it sounds dumb but they just make me feel good. And I'm sure you have a movie like that too, one that just makes you feel warm inside and brings a smile to your face still even after youve seen it a hundred times. Or if you have a t.v. show that you like find out what time its going to be on and plan the night around that.

Now these ideas can be for a night alone or a girls night in. Heres when I would recomend:

Pick a room in the house and turn it into a miny spa for you and the girls, if your going to catch on on some me time split your spa into two rooms. One to relax and the other with a tub! Get some bath salts and spend an hour just loungin in warm water.

Candles-these little fire hazzards are an instant relaxer. For nights where Ineed them for parties I normally get some from a dollar store. They have scented ones and thought they dont last for 60+ hours like the expesive ones I can get a bunch cause you only need them for one night. Spread them around your spa as need and light up! Then turn off the lights, youll feel tension melt away instantly.

Masks- now these little buggers dont have to be expensive. Most have the same stuff in them. When stores like Wal-Mart or K-Mart have clearence sales grab a bottle as long as its cheap. Of if you want to be homie, heres a recipie that I like for the winter.

1/4 of an apple
1/2 tsp Half and half
1 Tsp honey
1 T oatmeal

Mix it all together with a fork. Put it it in the fridge till your ready to use it. Apply it to your face, leave it on for about ten to fifteen minutes then wash it off and pat dry. This makes enough for one person, multiply it for how many friends your going to have.

Dont forget to wash your face before hand. After applying if your not to busy gosiping with the girls, lay back and relax. Breath deep and close your eyes.

Nails- have all of your guests bring a bottle of nail polish. Then everyone can choose one they like and give eachother manis and petties. What girl dosent love to be pampered.

Other little ideas:

• give yourself a deep conditioning hair treatment


• lather yourself slowly with a really thick body cream


• curl up with a great bottle of wine


• always have books and magazines handy


• take a super long hot shower


• make a snack tray to last the whole night. try and keep it to health stuff though this way you wont feel guilty for eating the whole thing. :) assorted veggies and fruits with some cheese and crackers is great.


• make a playlist on your iPod of songs that make you feel good, all mellow relazing songs.


• invest in a nice soft robe. they last forever and really dont cost that much.

These are just some ideas to help get you started on your spa night that will help relax you from a long week, either by yourself or with your friends.
