Night In: Cozy, Relaxed & Special

There’s nothing better than an intentional, cozy night in with your partner, your best friends, or a little solo self-care. Elevate your evening with a little ambiance, skincare, and of course, something sweet!

Set the Mood with Home Fragrance

A warm, inviting scent can instantly transform your space. Here are some eco-friendly candle options at every budget:

• Accessible: Les Crème – Beachside Orchid or White Rose

• Elevate: Fontana Candle Company – Lavender Vanilla or Rosemary Mint

• Indulge: Heretic – Dirty Vanilla

✨ DIY Home Fragrance Tip: Want to create your own? Simmer a pot of water on the stove and add your favorite natural ingredients:
🍊 Orange slices + vanilla for a dreamy creamsicle scent
🌿 Rosemary + lemon + vanilla for a fresh, uplifting aroma
🍎 Apple slices + cinnamon sticks for a cozy, warm vibe

Prep Your Look: Relaxed, Glowing Skin

If I’m staying in, I go for a minimal relaxed look with glowy skin.
