Ladies’ Night: Host a Beauty Themed Slumber Party
When I was young, there was nothing I looked forward to more than a slumber party. What could be better than a group of giggly girls, all cozied up in cute pajamas, talking about 
relationships, and sharing intimate secrets over pizza and a tear-jerking romantic comedy.
My last slumber party was my bachelorette party. I was a bride at the tender age of 20, and because I was too young for the bar scene and typical naughty ladies’ night of on-the-town debauchery, my gal-pals chipped in and rented a suite at a local hotel. We had a blast, and it was truly a sweet kiss goodbye to my childhood, complete with Jell-O shots.
Looking back on the happy memories that those crazy, drama-filled slumber parties have etched on my heart, I’m not sure that at 31, I’m ready for them to be over. Who needs a full-on ladies’ get-away (even if it’s just for one night) like a woman who devotes her life to her family?
In the spirit of these youthful get-togethers, a small group of dear friends and I have decided to revisit the slumber party concept with a night of beauty at a condo, an hour away from our motherly and wifely responsibilities.
There will be four of us attending this slumber soiree, so we’ve divvied up the beauty categories by our strengths. Each one of us will take turns pampering the other ladies with our chosen treatment.
If you’d like to join in the fun with your own favorite buds give these ideas a try:
Hair: In every group of ladies there’s one that’s awesome at color treatments. Whether you’re looking for a new shade, some pretty highlights or are just feeling saucy and want to try out a temporary, but bold, hair color, this will be her area of expertise.
Nails: There’s always a gal in the crowd that excels when it comes to nail care or has a particularly artistic flair. Give her some fun colors and let her do her thing.
Facial: There are plenty of store bought facial treatments available. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try some homemade treatments that will be as fun to whip up as they are beneficial to your skin.
Ambiance: Beauty is as much an internal concept as it is an external one. If one of your guests doesn’t feel comfortable giving a treatment, she can be in charge of music, soothing aromatherapy, and maybe the occasional cocktail.
If you’re expecting more guests, there are plenty more categories, that you can choose from: pedicures, waxing, eyebrow sculpting, massage, etc. Every girl has her strengths and interests. Put them to work and have a great time.
Getting older doesn’t mean that you’ve outgrown the need for quality girl time. Whether you’re 25, 45 or 65, you and your ladies still like each other and deserve to be pampered. Grab your cutest nighties ladies, because you have plenty of boy-talk and secrets left to share.
