Catch up with your daughter and spend some quality time with a spa day. You have two options with having a mother and daughter spa day. One, you could spend a day at a local spa, or you could have your own spa day at home.

How to Have a Spa Day with Your Daughter Locally
If you want to have a spa day with your daughter at a local spa you will need to call around to local spas and ask about a mother and daughter spa day package. Most spas now have these packages. Ask about refreshments and meals, considering you will be there for the day. Ask to have all of the details of what is included in a mother and daughter spa day in writing. Once you choose a spa schedule your appointment at least two weeks in advance.

How to Have a Spa Day with Your Daughter at Home
Now, if you want to get a little more creative and involved with your spa day you can have one at home. This will take more time, but is definitely more fun. Plan your spa day when you have the time and your daughter will be available. Start the day off by going to a local pharmacy or discount store and searching for spa items.

15 Items for a Home Spa Day:
1. Manicure Set
2. Pedicure Set
3. Deep Hair Conditioner
4. Facial Masks
5. Robes - From Towelbathrobe.com
6. Aromatherapy Candles
7. Movie for you both
8. Slippers
9. Comfortable Pajamas
10. Foot Spas
11. Snacks and Meals
12. Bottled Water
13. Eye Gel Masks
14. Moisturizer
15. Nail Polish

You don't have to get everything on the list. You might only have time for a half spa day with your daughter, and that is fine. Choose the items that you and your daughter will enjoy. Plan ahead and make your meals the day before. Take your daughter with you when you go shopping so she can have some input on the items to buy, unless it will be a surprise spa day!

Spa Day Schedule

Morning: Eat a light breakfast and take showers. Use deep conditioner in the shower. Put on comfortable pajamas, robes and slippers.


Mid-Morning: Give each other manicures and pedicures and talk. talk. talk.

Noon: Eat lunch.

Early Afternoon: Time for face masks, eye gel masks, and a foot soak in the foot spas. Put on some relaxing music and talk some more. Remove masks and have a light snack.

Late Afternoon: Put on the movie (comedy recommended) and enjoy.

Evening: Have dinner together and talk openly.

The best part about having a home spa day is that you get to do it any way you want to. However, if you don't have the time to shop and plan, then go for the spa day locally. It will be a great bonding experience and give you both time to catch up and talk. You can even make mother and daughter spa day a regular thing!
