This year has been a whirlwind! The weather has been so up and down, but I think we are finally settling into cool fall nights. For me, aside from the holidays, my social calendar isn’t as full towards the end of the year. Since the weather is cooler, I’m not setting up park play dates, or penciling in friends for patio dinner dates. So what better time than now to have a night in and focus on self-care! There are a few essentials that will help make your night as relaxing as possible. KP has all the makings of a perfect night in!
Home Spa Pampering
Any good night in that is focused on self-care should start with a bit of pampering! That could be a nice hot shower, bubble bath, manicure, pedicure, face mask…you get the picture. My KP faves are as follows: Stress Less Steamer, Lavendar Tub Truffles, and Peppermint Foot Scrub & Butter. I promise you won’t regret this regimen of putting the steamer in a sink full of hot water and letting the scents help you relax, while you fill up your bathtub with bubbles and drop in the truffles that will take your relaxation to the next level! End the mini spa day with a nice foot scrub! Slipping into your pjs after all this will be AHHH-MAZ-ING!
*Bonus, all these bath items are made in the USA!
Warmth & Comfort
It’s important to try and unplug for a little bit and just let your brain relax. You do so much every day, and we forget to just chill. I try to have a day where I just curl up on the couch and catch up on my shows. Not watching Boss Baby, Trolls, or Daniel the Tiger; but watching This Is Us, Total Divas, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. So after the (much needed) home spa session, wrap yourself up in a nice warm throw blanket and chill with your fave shows or a good book! KP has a great selection of throw blankets that will keep you comfortable for unlimited hours of lounging!
What shows are you watching or what books are you reading?
Great Fragrances Create a Relaxing Ambience
Essential oils are all the rage to help you create a relaxing environment. People often look to essential oils as alternative therapies to help them with a wide range of things. Oils can help you relax and sleep, help with pain, energy, or even illnesses! The diffusers look great as well and can be beautiful additions to your decor.
What essential oil would you choose?
Cozy Snacks
Book/shows are cued up, and you have a relaxing, calming scent filling the room. What more could you want? Well, SNACKS! Enjoy your treats in stylish farmhouse style enamelware! Many of KP’s enamelware products are food safe so grab a brand new red rim mug to enjoy some hot chocolate on these chilly nights. And pop some popcorn to put in your labeled enamelware bowl! Added bonus: try to remember to put a meal in the crockpot the morning of your self-care day! You’ll have a nice hot meal waiting for you and your family! I totally recommend this chicken and noodles recipe. It will be perfect for this weather!
What is your favorite “night in” snack or meal?
You Deserve it!
Seriously, take the night off and relax. I know it’s hard to turn off your mind and not think about the laundry that should be in the washer, the clean dishes that need to be put away, or the crumbs that need to be swept. But you work hard all the time and you deserve need a break and a bit of pampering. The chores will still be there tomorrow, so enjoy tonight for you!

Reading your article helped me a lot and I agree with you. But I still have some doubts, can you clarify for me? I’ll keep an eye out for your answers.
Lydia, I’m looking for a wood block that states: TRUST. I grew up on a farm back in the 40s and know the power of this word. No one has it, yet…KP could be the first. Many have “believe” and “blessings” in one form or another. In this day and age, we could do with a reminder to TRUST. Your company does these things the best. Thanks. Leilani
Hi Leilani! We currently don’t have a block exactly as you are describing. The closest I could find was this block that has a phrase with the word trust in in. https://www.kpcreek.com/p-17900-trust-god-house.aspx
I have shared your search with our buyers and maybe it is something that we can add to our inventory in the future!!
Glass of wine and Holida movies on TV!! Best time of year!!
Perfect!! You had me at wine lol!
I sure hope I win this gift card. I’m very new to Oregon . I’ e heard about you store but I haven’t had a chance to see it. I bet if I won a gift card that I’d be shopping there quicker than I thought
Congrats on your new home in Oregon! You will find tons of great things on the KP site to decorate with! Thank you for entering!
Love getting into my comfy PJ’s to watch This is Us, and a Million little things! Hot tea makes it even better!
YESSSS to This Is Us! That is definitely one of my favorite shows. I have been hearing a lot of about a Million Things! I need to check it out!
I love cool fall evenings. I like wrapping up with something soft and warm, and drinking a cup of hot apple cider!
Yep, that sounds like a perfect night! I am always forgetting about cider! Good choice!
I enjoy a cold, windy evening, and a cup of hot cocoa and a most fuzzy, soft wrap and watch a movie.

That sounds sooo relaxing Kathie! But I have a follow-up question about the coca. Marshmallows or no? lol
I love love love curling up in front of a fire when it’s cold out.
We have a a fireplace in our new house, can’t wait to finally try it out! We’ve had them in ou apartments and never utilized it haha
So love the spa ideas!!
Home spa nights are the best!
Nothing better than relaxing in front of a cozy fireplace drinking a cup of hot chocolate!
Toni, I agree, throw in some mini marshmallows and a cozy, fuzzy wrap to snuggle down with and maybe drift off into a nap.
Yes Kathie!! Glad to see you are a marshmallow fan too!!
This is going to be a MUST here soon!!
Love everything. I specially love bubble baths by candlelight. The spa pampering night is a perfect way to relax before bedtime.
Yep! I recently went and made a candle a few weeks ago and I have been wanting to take a bubble bath while burning it! It is perfect!
Love the diffuser and oils. Makes the house smell great
Do you have a favorite oil scent?
