How to Plan the Perfect "Girls Night In"

Ladies...looking for a little pampering retreat or a fun night in with your best friends to start the new year off right? Lifestyle and beauty expert, Ning Chao shows us how to enjoy a fabulous night in with your friends.Ning says there's nothing better than getting your girlfriends together to hang out, have fun and pamper without the expense of going out for a night on the town or to a spa. Just pick the hostess to go to...have all the ladies head over...and you can have a blast! All you need is a few essentials to start.The drink makes the party and while most of Ning's friends have resolved to shed a few pounds, she suggests a great option. Lipton Iced Tea has come out with two new ready-to-drink flavors: diet green tea honey ginseng and 100 calorie half & half, a refreshing combination of tea and lemonade. They both taste delicious and is low in calories.Here is a fun idea to add some pop -- lipton iced tea pops! We poured them into some fun ice pop trays, added frozen fruit and voil...a fun, tasty, lo-cal treat. For some extra pop, add a splash of champagne or sparkling wine to the trays!And just because you're staying in doesn't mean you still can't have a dance party. Ning says she has a lot of fun with her friends dancing to the hottest game for Kinect on Xbox 360...Dance Central 3. And Lipton is currently running a "Game on" promotion where you can pick up specially marked bottles to win an entire ultimate entertainment room makeover to make your next girls night in even that more fun!
