How to create the perfect cozy evening
Tips 1. Gör det riktigt bekvämt med kuddar och filtar eller ta ut täcket till soffan och kura ner dig ordentligt! Ta på dig dina skönaste myskläder eller kanske din pyjamas och se till att du är riktigt bekväm, oavsett om du ska kolla på film, läsa en bok eller njuta av något annat som känns mysigt för dig.
Tips 2. Slacken down and light plenty of candles to get into the right cozy mood. Feel free to use battery-operated candles that look real, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to extinguish them if you fall asleep during the movie or blowing them out before you go to bed.
Tips 3. Cook your favorite food or set up a buffet of your favorite snacks like candy, fruit, or maybe a charcuterie board. Don't forget to complement it with your favorite drink for a complete cozy evening!
