Sometimes a big night in is just as worthy of major planning as the big night out. Especially when these stay-at-home nights don't come around as often as desired.
What snacks to nibble on, what new-release DVDs to watch and what colour to paint the nails are all big decisions made
in the lead-up to the big night in.
But the decision worthy of the most pondering is what lounge wear will see you through this special night - especially at this time of year when there is also the decision of the best socks or slippers for keeping tootsies warm.
Keep the flannelette jarmies folded up for this occasion and instead pair sexy Elle MacPherson "afterwear" separates or fun, colourful pieces from Cotton On, Kmart and The Warehouse. These will ensure that should this night of seclusion be interrupted by a friendly visitor, the attire won't be nearly as embarrassing as it could have been had the matching jim-jams been brought out.
Pair your snuggly tops and comfy bottoms with a pair of socks that make you smile and take the opportunity to pamper your skin for the days ahead.
A product worthy of an invite to the big night in is the new Intervene Peel & Reveal from Elizabeth Arden.
The thin layer peels off to reveal firmer and smoother skin that by the morning will be glowing.
If the busy days and nights leading up to the pamper session have also taken their toll, then Kiehl's new Eye Treatment from the Ultimate White range is also worth looking at.
It brightens the under eye area, making you look not so worn out.
However, no pamper session would be complete without a thick coating of body butter - Burt's Bees Honey and Shea version was created for winter skin that is crying out for some attention.
