Girls' Night In - Issue #194: just some soft things 💗

1. Something new to talk about at dinner... 💗 "My partner and I have been using these reflections cards every night to guide our dinner conversation. These days, it feels like there’s a lot to spiral over, so it’s been really lovely to change things up and pull a card or two that sparks some joy and meaningful discussion together." - Olivia, Community Team
    
2. A new craft idea if you really love tiny things... 🧶 How about putting down your phone to needle-felt some otters or tiny gnomes? Because, why not? 
    
3. Just in time for your winter reading... 📚 'Tis the season for curling up on the couch with a new book and some fuzzy socks. Too cold to go outside? Book of the Month's delivering this season's best reads right to your door so you won't even have to leave the house. You can get $5 off your first book when you use code GNInovember. (Psst! We have our eye on their November pick These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong, a YA take on star-crossed love.) #SPONSORSTHING

4. The couch clothes getting us through this week... 🛋 a neon beanie ("I've given myself full permission to wear it inside." - Tyler), these all-day sweatpants ("I haven't taken them off in... a while." - Carey), and these softest-of-all-time slippers ("An investment piece, but truly one of my favorite purchases of the year." - Katrina). 

5. Something cozy for a socially distant winter... 🔥 "We ordered this fire pit (the only one that wasn't sold out!), and I'm considering it an investment in trying to see our loved ones safely and outside this winter. Also: S'mores." - Alisha, CEO/Founder

6. Some games and activities to stock up on for winter... 🧩 try these cards if you're feeling wanderlusty, this happy puzzle that shows communities in action, and this paint-by-numbers set if you need something a little more abstract to work toward. (PSA: This virtual color-by-numbers game is also weirdly soothing if you're looking for more immediate creative relief.) 
    
7. Bonus rec: Feels like a good time to remind you that you can watch Bob Ross on YouTube anytime you want. 🎨

We get it. Thinking up new indoorsy activities gets trickier every day... 🍷
