Looking for a fun, cheap way to spend quality time with your daughters? An at home spa day might be just what you're looking for. No need to worry about the expense or the hassle of taking your daughters out to be pampered; a home spa day offers an activity-filled bonding experience in the most relaxed and comfortable atmosphere you know: your own home.
One of the joys of planning a spa day at your home is that you can mix and match activities that cater to you and your daughters particularly. There are endless amounts of options to choose from, but here's a list of common home spa activities for women of all ages.
Facial Masks
Making your own facial masks is a great activity for a home spa day with your daughters. Most masks are inexpensive and easy to make, and since there are many different kinds of facial masks, everyone can pick which mask they want to try. Common ingredients in homemade facial masks include egg whites, egg yolks, honey, olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon, and avocado. Not only are these ingredients cheap and possibly already stored away in your kitchen, but most are also sensitive enough for young kids.
Sugar Scrubs
Sugar scrubs are also easy to make and can be used by girls of all ages. All you need is brown or white sugar, coconut oil, and your scent of choice (essential oils work especially well for adding fragrance). Another great thing about sugar scrubs is they have a long shelf life. You can make just enough for your spa day, or you can make a large batch and store it for later use.
Deep Condition with Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a marvelous deep conditioner for all hair types, and all you have to do is heat up the oil in a microwave for about thirty seconds. Work the oil through your hair and wrap you your hair using a shower cap or something similar. You'll want to allow at least two hours for the coconut oil to soak in before removing it, but you can leave it in overnight if you wish. When you're ready simply remove the shower cap and wash your hair. You may need to wash your hair 2 or 3 times to remove all the leftover oil. After your hair dries it should be soft, shiny, and gleaming.
Manicures and Pedicures
Girls of all ages enjoy having their nails painted. All you need is warm soapy water to soak hands and feet, nail clippers, nail files, and nail polish. This is an inexpensive spa activity since you most likely already have all the necessary items. If you choose to do this is your spa day, make sure it’s one of the last activities so you don’t mess up your freshly painted nails.
