night in essentials | The Silk Sneaker

What makes the perfect night-in?

Let’s be real shall we? It’s -1 degrees outside, it’s snowing and it’s hailing and it’s raining and it’s pouring… so why in the world would I have a night out when I can have the perfect night in? This weekend I have every intention of having my nearest and dearest with me to have the cosiest night in! When the team over at Leesa mattresses asked me to share with them what my favourite night in essentials were, I thought I might as well share it with you guys too!

The perfect night in is easy to achieve if you follow three very simple rules. In fact, a night in is necessary I think to really refresh your mind, install creativity and energy, allowing you to tackle the new week better than the last! I am the biggest workaholic around so I find that unwinding every weekend, is just what I need! So my top three tips to have that much needed night in are as follows:

#1 Get Comfortable & Put Work Away!

I know how hard it can be to stop working, especially when you do what I do! Trust me though, taking a break from work for a night and slipping in to your favourite pyjamas will really help get you started and relaxed!

#2 Do What You Love

Is there a movie you’ve been dying to watch? Have you been having a craving for your favourite chocolate? Well indulge! A night in is all about making you happy, so grab that dark chocolate and sea salt bar and put on that favourite movie! Mine is always Princess Diaries (I mean, I could totally do with a long lost grandmother telling me I am the next princess of Genovia..)

#3 Surround yourself with Cozy Things

Yes it is all about the snuggles! (Oh God.. Overtime I say the word snuggles, I see the mom from The Goldbergs… that show cracks me up..) What really makes a cozy atmosphere is a great scented candle, and a really warm blanket. I mean, being warm is the best part about staying in!
