How I Wine-d Down On A Friday

While most people my age are out and about on a Friday night, I'm usually at home cuddled up on the couch with a good movie. Or if I'm talking the last three months, cuddled up on my dorm bed with a good movie. Anywho, on Fridays I take it upon myself to relax and end the busy week I've had in the best way I know how. This way may not be good for everyone, but with minor modifications, you can use my "techniques" to help you wind down on a Friday as well!

1. Take everything off.

Once I know I'm in for the night, there's nothing better then coming home, ripping your bra off and getting into your comfy clothes. Your undressing shouldn't stop there, though. If there's one thing I love it's washing my face and doing a face mask. I prefer the Origins line and I specifically love using there Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask. It's perfect for acne prone skin and clearing out those clogged pours. It's just super refreshing to do a mask at night to really help your skin rejuvenate itself after a tough work/school week. Other options: Freeman's Feeling Beautiful Charcoal Mask, Clinique's Pore Refining Charcoal Mask, any other mask of your choosing for your skin type.

2. Make a savory snack.

For me this ranges from popcorn to lasagna. It depends on the week I've had. Lately I've been eating healthier so popcorn or apples and peanut butter or some pistachios and fruit. If I really feel like doing myself in; popcorn with extra butter, apples and peanut butter with chocolate chips, or pistachio ice cream. I'm watching a movie so I have to eat something good with it right? Other options: Cheese & crackers, pizza, or Nutella with anything.

3. Pick a Movie!

This is the hardest job for the night. There is so much out there you really just have to base it on your mood. As of now I'm feeling "Fifty Shades Of Grey" and yes I was that person watching it on the plane down to FL. Ain't no shame in my game. So yeah, I would probably have no problem picking that. I actually just base all movies I watch off the heart throbs that are in them (i.e. "Maze Runner", any One Direction movie, "The Amazing Spider-Man"). I suggest going off your mood and how much wine you've drank. Which brings me to my next point.

4. Drink LOTS of Wine.

There's never an inappropriate time on a Friday to drink wine. Unless you're like 18 or younger. Otherwise, you deserve it. Indulge, this is your night, you will thank me. I opt for a Chardonnay usually and after four glasses if I wasn't watching "Fifty Shades of Grey", I am now. (There's no reason I'm so obsessed I never even make it to the end, but Jamie Dornan is so hot and well yeah, let your mind run free.) Other options: Pino Grigio, Vodka & Cranberry Juice, hot tea.

Like I said, this type of Friday night isn't for everyone, but this is what I've been doing as of late. If you do anything cool/ better on a Friday, which I'm sure you do (or don't if you're not drinking wine), then leave your suggestions in the comments!
