Amid all the hustle and bustle the holiday season has to
offer, we’re betting you’re jonesin’ for a bit of calm and quiet. Invite a few
of your sweeties over for a sleepover that’ll have ya rested, restored and
ready for some holiday fun.
Pick your pals
Sure, having your closest baker’s dozen of babes over is a
bucket of laughs, but for this slumber party, choose just a few chicas. Pick
‘em wisely. You want buds who already know each other and get along well so you
don’t have to play monkey in the middle. Got a diva in your group? Consider
leaving her off the invite. You won’t miss the drama.
Serene setting
Tidy up your bedroom and bathroom so clutter won’t drive you
crazy. Toss around throw pillows and blankets by the bushel, and set out some
refreshments (think: fruity sodas, crunchy crudités and some chocolate-covered
dried fruit).
Chill. Out.
Do yourself a favor and ditch the schedule. Ask M&D to
heat up some homemade chicken noodle soup for you to nosh on, and keep other
bites indulgent but healthy. If you wanna play a game or get crafty, go for it,
but there’s nothing wrong with painting your nails, watching movies all evening
or chatting. Tonight is all about unwinding.
Tube time
Zen out to your favorite flicks. Try a Disney Princesses
marathon if you’re feeling nostalgic, a Drew Barrymore trio if you wanna fall
in love or some old Katherine Hepburn black-and-whites. Don’t forget the
popcorn!
Fun favors
Keep the instantly chill mindset moving
through the new year by sending your
sistahs home with bubble bath gift bags. Do the DIYs (deets
HERE) during your
party, or prepare everything in advance for party perfection.
