Before the pandemic, going to the cinema was one of my favourite things to do. It is such a fab experience as you can completely immerse yourself in a film while eating a yummy snack.โฃ
โฃ
At the moment this is not possible, so having a movie night at home has become the new norm, especially when you can include snacks like @metcalfessnacks popcorn, which are so tasty but keep me on track with my diet. โฃ
โฃ
I have put together a few ideas of how to recreate the best movie night setup at home:โฃ
โฃ
1๏ธโƒฃ First, choose the movie. I have chosen The Notebook as I am a complete romantic and love a bit of a cry. It is one of my favourite movies but the list of options is huge. โฃ
2๏ธโƒฃ Use fairy lights to put around the TV to make it more special. โฃ
3๏ธโƒฃ Get a soft blanket to put on the floor together with the most comfortable cushions. โฃ
4๏ธโƒฃ Put candles around the blanket to resemble an aisle in a theatre.โฃ
5๏ธโƒฃ Turn Off the lights of the living room or the room you are in.โฃ
6๏ธโƒฃ Prepare a snack bar. For me, movies always go along with Popcorn. Like I said, I couldnโ€™t find a better option than @metcalfessnacks. They provide a range of delicious snacks that can be enjoyed without breaking your healthy routine or calorie controlled diet. So it is a win win for me. I got 2 flavours: Sea Salt and Sweet โ€˜N Salt Popcorn. Yummy!โฃ
7๏ธโƒฃ Get some liquid refreshments. Because of my diet, I am not drinking alcohol, so a Coke Zero is the perfect combination for me. โฃ
8๏ธโƒฃ You could add some sweets. I have not done this as I am trying to keep away from sweets for now but if I am not on a diet obviously some sweets or maybe some ice cream would be perfect. โฃ
9๏ธโƒฃ Finally, wear some cozy loungewear with cozy slippers. Just choose the outfit that will make you feel super comfy. โฃ
โฃ
I hope you like my ideas. ๐™’๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™ฌ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ก๐™™ ๐™—๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ง๐™›๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ ๐™ข๐™ค๐™ซ๐™ž๐™š ๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ ๐™จ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ฅ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช?โฃ

We are getting closer to April 12th! I honestly canโ€™t wait for things to start feeling more normal again! I am desperate to have a holiday. It has been so long! I am dreaming of white sandy beaches with turquoise waters sunbathing with a cocktail in my hands! That would be so lovely right? ๐Ÿโฃ
โฃ
Hopefully soon we will be able to travel again but until that moment comes we have to keep strong and carry on I guess. Letโ€™s hope this vaccine does the job. We havenโ€™t heard anything yet. We are in the 40s bracket so I am hoping a message will be sent soon. ๐™ƒ๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™๐™–๐™™ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™ซ๐™–๐™˜๐™˜๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š yet? ๐Ÿ’‰โฃ

A trip Nick and I made without the kids 2 years ago. This bay is beautiful. The view is stunning from the top. Saint Paul bay is very nice to swim but quite small, so you have to be there quite early to have an umbrella and sunbeds reserved. But if you manage that, then you will have the best day. ๐™ƒ๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™—๐™š๐™š๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š?โฃ
