How To Plan the Sweetest Mother-Daughter Spa Night

Planning a Mother-Daughter Spa Night can be one of the most special times that you share with your daughter. Here are some tried and true tips to make your night truly sweet:
  • Talk it Up - Talking about your special night with your daughter and watching her excitement grow is as much fun as the event itself. Plan your special night when there is little chance that your plans will change or that you will be interrupted. Carve out at least a solid hour in the evening.

  • Get the Props - Purchase some simple, inexpensive props during your next trip to the store such as scented candles, bubble bath, scented lotions and some glittery nail polish. Let her choose all the scents and colors. She’ll not only be thrilled to be consulted on these big decisions, but she will be itching to get into the tub.

  • Mom, NO Multi-tasking! - This time is just for you and your daughter – an uninterrupted slice of solitude where girls can just be girls. This means: no answering the phone, no checking email, no tucking laundry into the dryer, no tidying up the bathroom. Get all those tasks done beforehand so you can concentrate only on your daughter.

  • Fill the Tub - Fill the tub extra high and generously scoop in bubble bath. Who doesn’t feel like a princess immersed in a tub brimming over with bubbles?

  • Light the candles - Dim the bathroom lights. Light those scented candles she picked out as the tub is filling. By now the entire bathroom should smell sugary sweet.

  • Relax - Wash each other hair, loofah your daughter’s back, put your feet up and close your eyes. Show her that it’s okay to take a moment time out for herself!

  • Be together - Listen to her. Let her tell you the important events of her day while she has your undivided attention. My daughter tells me all sorts of things about her day during spa night that we never seem to find time to talk about during the after school madness of dinner, homework and bedtime tasks.

  • Wrap yourselves up - Coat yourselves in scented lotion and wrap up in matching Mother-Daughter Microchenille Robes or matching Minky Dot Spa Bath Wraps. Bring out that glittery nail polish she selected and paint each other’s toenails and fingernails.
You and your daughter will cherish this special time together and she will be begging for the next Mother-Daughter Spa Night!
