Everything You Need For The Perfect Girls' Night In

One of life's great joys is a girls' night in. Here's our list of must-haves for an evening spent with our favorite humans!

1. ENTERTAINMENT: Nothing says girls-night in like one of the classics. We're talking Clueless, Mean Girls, The Sweetest Thing, Bridesmaids -- ya know, the good stuff.

And, when all else fails, you can just Hulu a Housewives marathon. Now that, my friends, is quality entertainment. Who doesn't love watching grown women get drunk and make fools of themselves on TV? WHO.

2. DRINKS: For all our Bitch Sesh Alenes out there, we see you, and your Whispering Angel. But for those looking to try something new, how about an Apple Cider Moscow Mule? Because fall. And not all good things have to have pumpkin spice. Or you could try the Bonded office favorite, a classic White Wine Spritzer.

3. SNACKS: When women get together, we've noticed they opt for nibbly food, so as to give the appearance of not eating. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, someone's eaten an entire block of cheese and half a pan of brownies. By themselves. NO JUDGEMENT. JUST noticing!

So how about instead of denying ourselves for the first hour of girls' night, we just lean in and take our snack game to the next level with some of Ina Garten's ridiculously amazing brownies, a wedge of drunken goat cheese, truffle gouda, and the world's greatest crackers, 34-degrees! Throw in a bag of baby carrots and a bowl of hummus to cancel out the brownies. I mean, that is how that works, right?

4. MAINTENANCE: With so many talents all in one room, a DIY makeover is in order to let your inner goddess out! Check out our favorite beauty blogger, Inconspicuous Glamour, for inspo, tips, and tricks.

While we are undoubtedly makeup-obsessed, we are equally infatuated with skin care. It goes without saying that we're willing to try nearly anything once when it comes to magic complexion potions. But, our go-tos for the moment are: Skyn Iceland Facelift-in-a-Bag, and Alba Botanica Pore-fecting Papaya Enzyme Hawaiian Facial Mask.

But let's be real, not all beauty DIYs turn out as expected. (See Purple Hair, Compliments, and Lies for more on that! Sorry not sorry, Britt!!)

5. STORY TIME: Spill it!

The truth is, sharing stories of life with your girlfriends, both the funny stuff and the juicy details, is part of the special bond we have. I can say without any hesitation no one quite understands me the way my girlfriends do. So when life gets crazy, I know exactly who I am going to tell about it. With so many shared secrets, we are sure to be friends for life!
