Girl Time: 5 Tips for Mother-Daughter BondingEver feel like you and your daughter are living in two different worlds? At times it may seem hard to relate to each other, but rather than stress over your differences, focus on interests that you can share. Simple activities help break the ice. Ask her how she’d like to spend time together or try one of these unconventional ideas to get started. -Declare Home-Spa DayShare some of your natural beauty secrets or discover new ones together. Create your own pedicure complete with pumice stone and mint scrub. Or make your own spa products like oatmeal mask or banana hair balm. Create a pampering ritual that allows both of you to let your hair down and laugh a little. -Go to the Farmers’ MarketKeep things fresh by venturing out to your local farmers’ market. Enjoy nature’s bounty, stay in tune with the fruits and veggies of the season, and perhaps even cook up some fun together in the kitchen afterward. -Take a Hike (Bring a Picnic Lunch)Break up your routine a bit and head outdoors for some quality time together. Here’s a chance to feel great, stay in shape, and communicate. Let go of any hidden agendas and just take time to get to know each other while you enjoy the view.-Attend a Yoga ClassEven if you’re a novice, throw on some comfy clothes and give a beginner’s class a whirl. Better yet, find a nearby restorative class so you can just relax and unwind. Melt away any tension or barriers with some slow, easy stretches and you’ll both feel supported by the time the class is over. -Enjoy an Arts DateExploring creativity brings out the inner child in all of us. Dabble in a little art therapy by going to a museum, a concert, or a local poetry reading. Dip into artistic endeavors like jewelry-making or a pottery class. Welcome curiosity around your own passions as well as hers.
