Sleep Chic + Stay Cozy


sleep chic

Today I'm talking about my favorite ways to have a comfortable, cozy night in during the winter time. In just a few weeks, I'll be home for winter break and it's insane how quickly this semester has flown by!! For nice relaxing nights this winter, here are some of my favorite tips.

ONE | Pick up a good book
I never have much time for pleasure reading during the school year, but when I'm home for breaks I enjoy reading things that aren't for school. This winter, I hope to finally read Mindy Kaling's books - I've heard so many great things from friends!

TWO | Pamper yourself with new makeup and beauty products
I don't know about you, but buying new makeup is always so fun for me. Especially during the winter time, it's so nice to purchase a new dark lipstick, a great new body lotion (#dryskin), or an amazing bath product. 

THREE | Host a girl's night in with your friends
Having a fun night with friends to simply eat snacks, watch movies, gossip, pamper, and be girly is always needed when you're home for breaks. I love having little Christmas or holiday get-togethers with my girlfriends and staying cozy during our time home.

FOUR | Treat yourself to luxurious sleepwear
I recently came across the website Adore Me, which has an extensive line of lingerie, undergarments, sleepwear, and more! With just a few clicks through a short quiz, you're signed up for their monthly subscription service to all things lingerie and sleepwear! Having beautiful new pajamas or underwear always makes me feel chic when I'm getting ready for bed. I picked out a few of my favorite items above, from robes to lounge pants to pajama sets! Pajama sets are my absolute favorite in the winter time for staying warm and looking chic. I always opt for a pajama set on Christmas morning and they make me feel so grown up (yay adulting).

FIVE | Chill out with some Netflix
There is nothing better than a good movie or TV show for having a cozy night in during the winter time. I'm working my way through Gilmore Girls (yes I still haven't finished), and I can NOT wait to watch it more once I am home. Having a go to show or movie is one of my favorite things to do when I just want some nice, quiet alone time. Add blankets and you're all set!

SIX | Build a warm fire
If you think there is anything better than a warm fire in the winter time, you're absolutely wrong. Fires are the epitome of coziness and winter warmth, and building a fire is a great way to get comfortable and relax before bedtime. The sound of a fire crackling and glowing the the background while I'm cuddled on the couch or bed is my idea of the perfect winter night inside.

SEVEN | Try a new winter beverage
Instead of opting for your usual tea or coffee, there are so many incredible ways to spice up your drink this winter time. A warm tea or coffee with the right add-ins can take your drink to a whole new level and keep you warm from the inside out. I love beverages with cinnamon, peppermint, or gingerbread in the winter, and there are so many different drinks to try, either at your local coffee shop or at home! Experiment with something new and you just might find your new go-to winter drink.
