Little Luxuries for a Cozy Summer Night In
This summer, I’m trading in FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) for JOSI (Joy of Staying In). The older I get, the more I find myself openly embracing homebody energy. When it comes to pampering, you don’t have to check into a spa or install an in-home sauna—although both sound marvelous. Intentionally incorporating a few daily wellness practices or little luxuries that bring you joy at home go a long way in maintaining peace and your overall wellbeing. A delightful page-turner, pajama set, cozy blanket, and sophisticated sipper are just a few of my key ingredients for a summer night in. And, if the night just so happens to be on theme, it’s all the better. Take a peek at my themed pampering sessions below and determine which one is calling your name!
Mid-Century Marvel: The Summer Wives
Recommended Read: The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams
Step back in time to Winthrop Island in 1969 where long lost secrets from the summer of 1951 prove to be even more salacious than the island gossip. Elevate the experience with this sleek sleep set in palm regalia stripe from LAKE pajamas and curl up under the seashells oak blanket from ChappyWrap. Take your pampering session to the next level with the coastal scent of the Bora Bora candle courtesy of Paddywax, a Regenerative Hemp Mask from Primally Pure, and a refreshing Hugo Spritz. If you opt for the audio book or just want a needlepoint memento, I recommend stitching this lobster boat canvas (you’ll get the reference) from Lycette.
