My Secret Recipe

Hey gurrrrrrrls, Kelsey here - So excited to be posting on Elyse's blog today, I just love it. Thought I'd share with you guys a recipe for one of my favorite things on the face of the planet - a perfect girls' night in. I love girls' nights. Whether it's going out for dinner, out to the bar for a drink and some dancing, or hanging out in sweats on the couch, as long as you are surrounded by a great group of girlfriends you are bound to have a great time. (unless someone spits gum in your beautiful long hair when you are out, which happened to my friend Ali, total night ruiner). As much as I love going out with my girlfriends, I secretly am a bigger fan of a night in. No fancy clothes, high heels, make up or perfect hair.

Anyways ... back to the recipe for a perfect girls' night in, according to me, since I'm obviously an expert at having a good time, duh.

Recipe: Fail Proof Girls' Night In

From the kitchen of: Kelsey @ Eat, Drink, Be a Tourist

Ingredients for your "main dish":
1 group of girlfriends

1 super soft hoodie
1 pair girly slippers / uggs
1 dvr with recordings of reality tv shows ie: The Bachelor, The Jersey Shore, Cupcake Wars, etc. and/or an assortment of rom coms
1 couch and/or love sac, love seat, big fluffy pillows and cozy blankets (if cold)

Additional ingredients - feel free to be creative with your "side dishes":

Kelsey
