How To Do It
1. Set the mood. Put on the CD, light candles, and draw your bath. While one of you reclines with a face mask and cucumber slices over your eyes for a facial, the other gets to soak in the tub. Then switch places!
2. Take the scent test. Swap lotions with your daughter to find your favorite scents. Massage into skin, leaving hands and feet for last.
3. Snack time! In-season berries and melons add the perfect burst of taste, engaging all of your senses on spa day. Why not sip some "bubbly" too? Toast to the day with your daughter with a glass of sparkling cider, ginger ale, or fruit juice.
4. Now for the manis and pedis! Clip your daughter’s nails, then go through your polish. Pick a color you haven't used in a while, or trade colors with your daughter!
5. Pamper yourselves with togetherness. While the polish dries, snuggle up on the couch, share stories, swap secrets, play a game, read passages out of your fave books, or watch a classic "chick flick" together. What better way to indulge in an unforgettable day?
