Fall is here and Winter is approaching, which means those cold, snowy nights are straight ahead of us. Some people look at this gloomy weather as a bad thing, a depressor. Others use the weather to their advantage for an excuse to have a cozy night in. To have the perfect “night in” experience you’re going to need some “ingredients”. Here are the essentials:

Pajamas – Get comfy and cozy, who cares how good you look!

Blankets – Roll yourself into a burrito, make a nest. Blankets are to keep you warm and cozy, and if you’re feeling adventurous grab some pillows and chairs and build a fort!

Entertainment – Full of laughter, horror, heartbreak, drama or whatever you desire. This can be a book, Netflix, a coloring book, knitting, really anything you enjoy doing.

Warm Drink – Tea! Hot chocolate! Apple Cider! They’ll keep you warm from the inside out with a flavor.

Popcorn/Comfort Food – A snack to keep you charged and ready for the next episode.

Cuddle Buddy – Whether it’s a body pillow, your dog or cat, or your significant other this will bring you maximum comfort.

When the weather doesn’t feel like being productive, why should we? Every once in a while you can get overwhelmed and over worked and could use a day off. So stay in and relax for a few hours, you’ve earned it!
