Page 1 of 3 You’ve realized that your girlfriends are the ones who actually rally
around you in moments of adversity, accompany you on crazy shopping
sprees, water your plants, play midwife to your cat and lend their
shoulder for you to sob on even at manic hours like 2.00 am. And Sex and
the City and Desperate Housewives are just making you gravitate more
towards this vital female camaraderie. So make way for pamper parties
laced with spa indulgence – the latest in the line of soul nurturers for
the sisterhood brigade.
Racing from home to office, tossing in a couple of late night and nookies
coupled with early morning pre-school preparation for the kids leaves you
sapped. Almost. A spa party offers the right quantum of pleasurable
relaxation for yourself and your girlfriends in the comfort of your home.
The idea is to have some fun through energy replenishment rituals. Here
are some tips on what you can do and how to get it just right…
1. If music be the food of love, play on
Strains of soft music fend off the blues and make stress evaporate. Loosen
up. Set the mood for female bonding. You will end up chatting a bit, so
avoid heavy metal akin to rhinos mating against a tin water tank. Create
the magical lull through rhythm divine; light jazz, country music or even
an Irish jig to pep up the gathering. Pre-select your CDs, packed with
non-intrusive instrumental beats or low key numbers, and tune up your
music system for a perfect performance later. Pile up DVDs of music
videos, movies or even Friends -- whatever you would like to watch
together
