Relaxing evening with friends: cocktails, jacuzzi and Cristal d’Arques glasses!

August is the perfect time to slow down, take a deep breath, and indulge in life’s little pleasures. If you’re one of those people who loves chilling with friends in robes, sipping cocktails in the garden, then this is for you. Bonus points if someone’s got a hot tub… jackpot.

Welcome to the most stylish wellness night of the summer — Cristal d’Arques style.

Why August is THE perfect month to unwind with friends

The ultimate pause before things ramp up again
August is that golden space between summer holidays and the back-to-school rush. You’re still in lazy mode, but reality is creeping up. That’s your cue to hit pause and treat yourself — before the to-do lists come back.

Say goodbye to stress, hello to feel-good vibes
Your body needs a reset, and nothing works better than good friends, warm water, and a beautifully crafted glass in hand. Let the fun flow and recharge with some real quality time.

The ultimate trio: spa night + cocktails + beautiful glasses

Hot tub in the backyard? Yes, please.
If one of your friends owns a jacuzzi — or even just a cute inflatable pool (no judgment 😄) — that’s the perfect excuse. Add some fluffy towels, soft cushions, and you’re all set. Time to relax, laugh, and spill the latest love drama, messy bun required.

Setting the chill vibe: music, candles & Cristal d’Arques Paris

Soundtrack goals: smooth but not sleepy
We’re talking R&B, lo-fi, or mellow indie. Ben Mazué, SZA, Norah Jones — the kind of tunes that make you nod your head and open up.

Magic lighting = instant atmosphere
Mattresses on the floor, cushions everywhere, solar string lights, lanterns, scented candles… A soft, glowing setup that feels straight out of a romantic Italian film. But make it girl power.

The real stars? Cristal d’Arques glasses
Stylish, sparkling, sturdy. They’re made to shine by candlelight — perfect for elegant cocktails, even with your hair in a towel.

The perfect glass for every drink

A spritz? Grab the elegant Lady Diamond flute.
A fruity mocktail? Go for a crystal tumbler.
Whatever your drink, there’s a glass that matches — and makes your stories sparkle on Instagram.

Relaxing cocktail ideas (with or without alcohol)

Zen Spritz — Spa vibes in a glass
  • Prosecco
  • Cucumber-flavored sparkling water
  • Elderflower syrup
  • Slice of lime

Sweet, bubbly, refreshing — best enjoyed mid-laughter, toes in warm water. Serve in a Lady Diamond flute.

Pink Chill — Soft, pink, and Insta-ready
  • Pink lemonade
  • Raspberry juice
  • Edible flower ice cubes
  • Splash of gin (optional)

Chic, girly, and totally photogenic in a Macassar coupe.

Cocoon Detox — Feel-good mocktail
  • Aloe vera juice
  • Coconut water
  • Fresh mint
  • Lemon juice

Fresh, healthy, and ultra-zen. Serve it in a Swirly flute — your body will thank you.

How to organize a spa night with friends (without breaking a sweat)

Must-haves:

  • Cristal d’Arques glasses (obviously!)
  • Robes or oversized scarves
  • Playlist, soft lights, incense or fresh eucalyptus/lavender bouquets
  • Hot water bowl with lavender or cedarwood essential oils for scent therapy
  • Fresh fruit platter & sweet bites

Extra touches that make it next-level:

  • Mini fridge packed with ice & drinks
  • Funny masks for hilarious selfies
  • DIY bracelets between two stories

After the spa: the perfect wind-down

Masks, oils, and dreamy massages
While one applies a face mask, another gives a shoulder massage using divine-scented oil. Bliss on a budget.

The confessions moment — glass in hand
That moment when you glow, laugh, and share secrets without filters? Add a chilled drink in a Cristal d’Arques glass and let the magic happen.

Keep the good vibes going even after the night’s over

Sunday morning chill-out ritual
Smoothie bowl, mellow playlist, light meditation, and your Cristal d’Arques glass filled with lemon water. Then slide into some Donna Summer or ABBA. Wellness = fun, remember?

The gratitude notebook
Each guest writes a note, memory, or sweet anecdote from the evening. Something to reread on grey days to remember the power of friendship… and a beautiful glass.

Conclusion: Because we’re all worth it

This kind of spa night isn’t about beauty routines — it’s about feeling alive, connected, and radiant. And when you’re surrounded by the people you love and the sparkle of Cristal d’Arques glasses, even your backyard becomes a slice of luxury.
