Snowy season + girlfriends + “fun plans” all over your feed…but is it actually fun—or just something to post?
This week, Nikki and Damaris play a game of Will This Be Fun? as they break down the winter friend-date trends we keep seeing (paint + sip, puzzle nights, “make a candle,” perfume workshops, quirky workout classes, ice skating, sledding…).
They get into what makes an activity genuinely joyful vs. quietly stressful: the pressure to perform, the awkward “we’re supposed to stay for three hours” energy, and the universal truth that most of us don’t need another ugly painting in the closet.
Along the way, they land on the winter wins: do something a little active, tap out when you want, then go cozy up at the bar—plus ideas like arcade nights with silly stakes, mixology at home, coffee shop crawls, customizing something you’ll actually wear--and Damaris’ newest obsession: mahjong (pronunciation TBD).
Because winter doesn’t have to be the season you “get through.” It can be the season you make weird, warm, low-pressure memories on a random Wednesday night. That’s fun.
