    Tips for a Successful Movie Night

    Call me lame, but my favorite nights are the simple ones. Movie nights matched with an endless supply of foods that you'll regret having eaten the next morning, make for one happy Carma. In order to make a veg night one of perfection, I would advise the following-

    Guilty Pleasure
    • Clear out a large space to make room for an ENORMOUS pillow bed (you can NEVER have too many pillows)
    • Order in (I'd go for chinese)
    • Stock up on your favorite snacks and drinks prior (keep them at arms length, even if this requires a mini cooler)
    • Put on your most comfortable pj's
    • Combine all of your potential movies for movie night in one small case (you don't want to have too many decisions to make during veg time)
    • Put your electronics AWAY (with the exception of the tv...obviously)
    • Ignore the calorie intake (just promise yourself some extra cardio so you can have a guilt free veg)
    • Mix up the movie genres (too many dramas makes for a movie snooze night)

    WANNA GET CRAZY?

    *Transform your living room into a GIANT FORT, (check out some awesome fort ideas) put everything you'll need for movie night inside the fort with you, including your tv. Add flashlights to your 'need' list and a horror movie or two to your genres (if you haven't already). If you decide to take up the wild fort option then you may want to snap a few pictures that you can later brag or embarrass yourself with via facebook and/or twitter.

    Clearly I'm not the only adult that still loves making a kick ass fort. I just ask that if you create one, you send me a picture! 

    Happy Vegging!!!
