5 Essentials For An Amazing At-Home Super Bowl Party

Super Bowl weekend is almost upon us and we’re willing to bet that, for some of you, this has little meaning aside from making plans to hang out with friends and indulge in snacks (Read: nachos!) while others get overly excited about something that hardly matters (Read: football).That said, this year’s parties will definitely be smaller and safer than ever before thanks to social distancing practices. Just because you’re only watching with roommates or family doesn’t mean you can’t go all out, though! These awesome Super Bowl party ideas are proof that you don’t need to do much to have a great time. Heck, you don’t even really have to watch the game!

So, what are some non-negotiable Super Bowl party essentials? First, the food. From snacks like dips and wings to meals like sliders and slow-cooker chili, the right food can set the mood—even if you’re only cooking for a handful of people. Of course, along with food comes drinks, so make sure your fridge is well-stocked and your Solo Cups at the ready.

Of course, even fake fans need some good merch, so I’m considering this another must-have requirement. In fact, get a few decorations too (Promise, you don’t have to splurge) so you can get the perfect Super Bowl Sunday Insta post. If you don’t, what else will everyone have to look forward to once the halftime performance ends and they’re back to scrolling through their phones?

Last but not least, this one’s for all the folks who usually partake in a massive Super Bowl party: Go virtual! I know we’re all a little sick of Zoom by now, but a Super Bowl afterparty to settle bets, discuss commercials and more can be pretty damn fun—especially if the snacks and drinks are still flowing.

With that, read on for our guide to five Super Bowl party must-haves to make even the smallest soiree a blast. Go Chiefs! And Bucs! Truly, I don’t care.

1. Load Up On Snacks

You can almost always find me hanging out by the snacks at a Super Bowl party. Whether your friends want something intense like slow-cooker chilli or some more low-key snacks like a creative dip and chips, our recipe roundups definitely have you covered.

2. Wear The Right Merch 

If you don’t understand the game at all (I don’t), you can at least invest in some merch to make yourself feel like a part of the team. Whether you support the Chiefs or love the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there are tons of cute options from either team to choose from.

3. Serve A Signature Drink

Drinking and watching the big game go hand in hand, whether you’re celebrating a win or drowning out a loss. If you aren’t a fan of the classic sports-lover’s beer, whip up batch of a fancy-ish cocktail for you and your friends to enjoy. Bonus points if you make two and name them after the opposing teams! Whichever one people like more is the real Super Bowl winner.

 

4. Put Up Some Decor

You don’t want to drop a ton of $$$ on Super Bowl decorations, but a few festive touches can really add some atmosphere to your game day soiree! Order a few things on Amazon like the ones below for that perfect balance of festive, but not too over-the-top.

5. Plan A Zoom Afterparty

Since our parties will be safer and smaller this year, you likely won’t have all your friends in one place. Organize a post-game Zoom afterparty where you can all meet up (Virtually!) and discuss everything from the halftime show to the best commercials, to who owes who some coin for betting on the game’s outcome.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
