The Ultimate Guide to a Ladies-Only Holiday Pajama Party

Happy Holidays, everyone! It’s Jordan from Oh Happy Day! The holiday season can be so magical, but it’s also a ton of work. Once I became a mom, I realized that Christmas was basically a giant party I was throwing for my family. My partner is of course really helpful, but the bulk of the planning, shopping and food planning falls at my feet. It’s worth it to create a magical holiday for the people I love, but it definitely makes for a hectic month. So this year I want to throw a Mom Pajama Party! Basically, it’s a girls night in where we can wrap gifts together, watch movies in comfy clothes and eat and drink. We’ve partnered with JCPenney to show you our take on a Christmas Pajama Party.

For this party, we made a good grown-up punch and hot cocoa, and stocked up on lots of cozy scarves, bathrobes, blankets and pajamas. We took something casual — like sitting around in pajamas — and made it a little glam by adding shiny details, disco balls, fancy glassware and confetti. It’s the perfect inspiration to throw my own casual glammy get-together with my friends.

Here’s the recipe for our grown-up punch!

HARD CIDER POMEGRANATE PUNCH

  • 4 bottles hard cider
  • 4 ounces light rum
  • 4 ounces clementine juice
  • 4 ounces pomegranate juice
  • 2 ounces fresh lime juice

Just mix all the ingredients together and serve with ice.

There you have it — all the ingredients needed for a cozy night in with the gals. Cheers!

It’s almost time for our favorite holiday that celebrates accordingly with chocolate, hearts and the color pink: Galentine's Day! The love between gal pals is undeniable and totally worth celebrating. During this stage of life that we so lovingly call “adulthood,” we rely on our girls to support us through our jobs, the modern and scary world of online dating and any and all quarter-life crises. Let’s face it: We love and need our girlfriends. That’s why a day like Galentine’s Day is quite possibly the best day of the year!

Here's everything you need to know about hosting the perfect Galentine's Day brunch

Studio Ink for Brit + Co

Today we’re teaming up with Studio Ink to show you how to host the most epic Galentine's Day brunch (even if it's breakfast in bed). We’ve got everything from red velvet heart waffles to DIY centerpieces to Galentine card writing stations. Studio Ink has an awesome collection of cards that are the perfect mix of sweet, sentimental, funny and cute. It’s not truly Galentine’s Day unless you send your besties Valentines… I mean, Galentines! Alright, let’s dive in.

What does Galentine mean?

Walls.io

Galentines are like Valentines, but for the girls! Though you may have a lover in your life, this holiday is all about celebrating your platonic friendships with your girl friends and just having fun with it! The holiday is slated for Feburary 13, the day before Valentine's Day, so you can have all the time to cherish your gal pals. Funnily enough, the day was coined by none other than the iconic Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation.

What food is eaten on Galentine's Day?

Brit + Co

Your Galentine's Day grub is really up to you and the girls, but the most popular bites include dips and chips, stuffed peppers, veggie skewers, waffles, cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, deviled eggs, bruschettas and charcuterie snacks. Finger foods are always a good way to go for any gathering.

What do you bring to a Galentine's Day brunch?

Brit + Co

For a Galentine's brunch, you can bring food items like cute snacks, desserts (topped with heart sprinkles, of course), healthy meals, drink mixers or mocktails. You can also bring handmade cards or gifts for each of your friends, and of course you have to bring your love!

The Spread

Studio Ink for Brit + Co

First, let’s talk about the food. It’s not brunch without a fabulous array of treats.

Decorate your table with a few gold bottles and single flower stems. You don’t want your table to be too cluttered, because you’ll want to also have space for all the card writing you’ll do!

What’s Happening in the Skies This Valentine’s Day 2025?

  • Moon sextile Mars
  • Mercury enters Pisces
  • Moon opposite Saturn
  • Moon trine Uranus

There Will Be Solid Plans & Synchronicities — But Avoid Reconnecting with Exes

Bekah Beckman/Dupe

To begin with, the Moon rules the mood of the love holiday and influences how we make decisions based on our feelings. Venus, the love planet, is in the sign of Aries and gives off a fiery energy that begs for excitement and adventure. These two celestial energies can be a bit paradoxical, but you may be able to use them to your benefit as you stay aware of how you want love to unfold on this day.

The day starts with a slow build as the Moon moves into the earth sign Virgo. Expect the mood to be pragmatic, selective, and intentional. However, the day will turn out to be more exciting than you might initially anticipate. Have a strategy, but be open to trying something new. You’ll be surprised by how epic your love holiday will turn out. Expect solid results if you have big plans, like a weekend getaway with your love or a Galentine’s Day outing. The only challenge might be expressing your feelings, as this Moon phase can lead to socially awkward encounters or make you feel shy and unsettled when revealing your inner self.

Expect signs and synchronicities on this day, as Mercury moves into dreamy Pisces. This sign has to do with spirit and subtle messages. Our ability to communicate will be poetic and more introspective. If you plan to go out this year, expect the day to feel more romantic than in past years. Speaking from the heart and through feeling will yield better results than relying on pride or logic. Be playful and stay in the moment. Cherish your love.

Liza Dulmelinck/Dupe

The Moon-Mars sextile can lead to sexy encounters as Mars in emotive Cancer attracts passionate yet dramatic exchanges. You may score a date with someone you least expected. Check your DMs or ask them out based on your feelings—not out of anxiety. Be mindful of situationships, and make sure your connection is solid. The Moon-Saturn opposition can bring feelings of boredom or isolation. So, if you feel lonely or unsettled because of your relationship status, avoid calling the ex or getting lost in memory lane — reliving the glory days will only lead to a dead end. If you're single, focus on self-love and celebrate you! Avoid making a move simply because you don’t want to be alone on this holiday.

By the end of the day, things will get exciting with the Moon-Uranus trine. Expect to feel confident and extra sultry in the bedroom. It will be about how you feel in your connection with your special someone — not about seeking revenge. Anything driven by hurt or volatile intentions will lead to unwanted results. Remember that the Moon in Virgo radiates stability and trust. You'll attract better outcomes in your love story as you stay positive and understanding with these energies. Whether single or in a relationship, stay invested in your heart and honor its needs.

Sam Asghari just opened up about his relationship with Britney Spears on Kate and Oliver Hudson's podcast — which wouldn't be weird if he didn't have an alleged gag order not to speak about it during his time on The Traitors. Why is he able to talk about Britney now? And what did he say about her? We dug into it so you don't have to.

Here's what Sam Asghari said about Britney Spears post-divorce:

www.instagram.com

Sam Asghari and Britney Spears officially settled their divorce in May 2024, but Britney's story feels far from settled for fans (to say the least). Obviously this isn't Britney's only divorce, but it's one of her most controversial given how entrenched it was in the #FreeBritney movement and her conservatorship as a whole. As the movement picked up speed, some people looked at Sam differently, wondering what he knew (and when) about her conservatorship.

Well, now he's telling everyone the conservatorship was the "most difficult" part of their relationship on Oliver and Kate Hudson's "Sibling Revelry" podcast. He explained that he went from learning what a conservatorship even was to wondering, “Wait a minute. I thought I’m in America. What do you mean someone over the age of 18 needs permission from their parents?”

Sam explained that he did the "best thing" for Britney during that time — support her through the fight against her conservatorship. He noted that one of the "hardest things" about celebrity is how easily you can get taken advantage of. He said, "That damages you because those are the people that are closest to you."

He noted that "usually" you're more "vulnerable" to the people around you. Sam said, “They take an advantage because they think, you know, you owe something to them or something, which is so ridiculous."

So what do you think? Why would Sam be allowed to talk about his relationship with Britney now, but not on The Traitors? Let us know in the comments!

Planning a bathroom renovation? You're in luck because you haven’t committed to any trends that are headed for a 2025 exit. Home design trends typically have a shelf life of about a decade, which aligns perfectly with the timeline for refreshing your space — especially if you're planning to upgrade for resale value. In 2025, staples like white subway tile, black-and-white farmhouse vibes, and ultra-modern frameless mirrors are making their grand exit, and good riddance. Taking their place are organic, earthy shapes and tones, bringing a warm, natural touch to modern bathroom design.

Scroll to see 12 outdated bathroom trends to ditch in 2025!

Terry Magallanes

1. Black & White Farmhouse

What to do instead: Over the past decade, this stark look dominated bathrooms, but it’s time to bring in some warmth and personality. The latest bathroom trends focus on natural materials like wood, stone, and linen, paired with earthy tones such as rich browns, deep greens, and soft rosy hues to create a cozy, inviting space. If you’re still drawn to the modern farmhouse aesthetic, give it a fresh update by incorporating vintage art and unfinished brass accents — subtle nods to the past with a modern, elevated twist.

Quark Studio

2. Frameless Mirrors

What to do instead: Framed mirrors add character and tie into your bathroom's aesthetic. Organic oval shapes, art deco-inspired curves, and frames made from materials like wood and brass, even blending the frame color into the wall's paint color, are becoming popular choices.

Vecislavas Popa

3. Carrara White Marble

What to do instead: This overdone material can look overly sterile, especially when it takes over a bathroom like this one. Instead, add earthy elements like artisanal zellige-style tiles from places like Zia Tile and Fireclay Tile, as well as unique marbles in jewel tones like red jasper.

Cottonbro Studio

4. Ornate Fixtures

What to do instead: An antique piece or two can add character and charm to a bathroom. This space feels overwhelmed by too many vintage elements and lacks sophistication. Instead, opt for clean-lined fixtures in matte black or brushed brass, pair them with natural stone countertops, and select a mirror and lighting with a more refined, architectural design.

Curtis Adams

5. Jacuzzi Tubs (And This Glass Block Window)

What to do instead: Freestanding tubs or spacious showers with a steam feature offer a more elegant and modern alternative to bulky jacuzzi tubs, which not only hog space but are also notoriously difficult to clean. The glass block window dates the bathroom's design even more. For a fresher, more open feel, enjoy the view and bring in natural light with a clear glass window if privacy isn’t a concern.

William LeMond

6. Tile Explosion

What to do instead: Give your bathroom a breather with some bare walls for a modern look. Combine tiles you love with painted walls, wood paneling, or textured finishes, and use them strategically, like in the shower or as a backsplash.

Sanibell BV

7. Vessel Sinks

What to do instead: Vessel sinks are leaving the trend sphere in 2025. (I'm also not a fan of pedestal sinks). Instead, opt for integrated sinks in stone or concrete for a seamless look, or choose under-mount sinks with a quartz or earth-toned marble countertop.

Phil Hearing

8. Generic Overhead Lighting

What to do instead: The classic "boob lights" and generic ceiling mounts often seen in rentals are overstaying their welcome. Instead, elevate your space with softer, layered lighting or modern sconces that provide a warm, flattering glow.

99.films

9. Traditional Bath Mats

What to do instead: Washable rugs made from natural wool or cotton are emerging as decor statement in bathrooms, offering unique colors and eye-catching prints. If you're partial to a traditional bathmat, consider keeping it tucked away until you need it, rather than displaying it, to keep your bath from feeling outdated.

Jon Stebbe

10. White Subway Tile

What to do instead: White subway tile in traditional brick or herringbone patterns are on their way out. They're overdone and a bit sterile. Shades like sage green, dusty pink, warm clay, or earthy tones can make the space feel more welcoming.

Point3D Commercial Imaging Ltd.

11. Faux Wood Tile

What to do instead: Anything pretending to be what it's not is out for 2025. Faux wood tile or vinyl can make your home look cheap and outdated. Instead, choose natural stones, porcelain, and cement tiles, or go for an actual wood flooring that is protected for moisture.

Jean van der Meulen

12. Overly Themed

What to do instead: Avoid being too gimmicky in your bathroom decor with a theme like beach, western, or industrial. Draw inspiration from nature, use organic materials like natural stone, and incorporate greenery with potted plants. Here's inspiration for a coastal home if you're into the beach vibes!
