call the girlies for a cozy night of indulgence to shore up the emotional defenses with loads of love. i’m talking favorite meals, drinks, movies, playlists, pjs, and blankets, etc. [& a few joints 😋]
never fails.
My girls nights literally REVIVE me. Now I completely understand why my mom needed those nights to just kick it with her homegirls- it really does reinvigorate you and just feels like a big warm hug. Our favorite thing to do is say we’re having a movie night, turn on the movie, spark up, then talk thru the whole movie LOL. Idk I love my girls and the warmth they bring to my life. I always leave feeling like I got good perspective on something that might’ve been bugging me or I was able to help a friend navigate something that’s been troubling them. The show Girlfriends is for reallllllll <333
added in some flash-boiled diced sweet potato into the braising chicken for the last 10 minutes of cook time, so they could absorb the sauce as they soften. also used jamaican browning in the marinade (which you can find @ local grocery) instead of caramelizing sugar. 8.5/10 hella recommend.
