Light as a feather. Stiff as a board.

Pillow fights? Painting nails? Making up dances to Britney Spears? Late night chit-chats over crushes or prank calls? I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a slumber party.

The Best Award Of All

Instead of a red carpet gowns, we flaunted “sofa chic.” Instead of Moët flowing about the room, we grabbed Trader Joe’s Proseco.
