Girlfriend's Night Do It Yourself Spa

By Darla Cruise

It is really good for women to get together with their friend and offer each other the kind of support that they just cannot get from the men in their lives. Women really like to talk things out, for instance, and men often just don't understand that. That is when bonding with girlfriends becomes not only handy, but, also vital to our mental health. Spending time together just hanging out and understanding each other is really good for us.

You could have a Girl's Night In - At Home Spa with your girlfriends and here are some tips to get you started. The atmosphere in which you will spend most of your time is very important. You want to create a nice, relaxing mood for everyone. And it would be really great if you could arrange for the rest of the family to be out with their friends, so that you and your girlfriends can have the house to yourselves, free from interruptions and noise. In order to make the room really soothing, you could dim the lights, light some candles around the room and play some relaxing music. And provide plenty of comfortable places to sit for everyone.

Everyone can bring things from home that they have for the pampering part of you Home Spa. They can bring facial scrubs, facial masks, fingernail polish and supplies, and even makeup if you all decide to get your faces made up. You might want to just make it a relaxing spa and go home with fresh, clean faces. Your friends could also bring stuff for working on each other's hair. And another important thing to bring is one of their favorite pillows for the the relaxation time.

When your friends first arrive, you can sit around and talk, waiting for everyone to arrive. At this time you can serve them smoothies and dark chocolate. You can also have some women's magazines lying around the room. Make sure, though, that they are positive ones, and not the mud-slinging gossip rags, as we want this to be a positive, uplifting experience.

When your guests all get there, you can start with facial scrubs and masks and then work on each other's nails. After that you can move onto applying makeup and fixing hair. When that is all done, you can pop in a progressive body relaxation CD and everyone can find a comfortable spot with their favorite pillows! You will all feel refreshed and ready to face the world again when your Girlfriend's Spa Night is over! - 15683
