Mothers and daughters have a special bond. Especially in the years before puberty, mothers often serve as important role models on the path to adulthood. Whether it's in matters of styling, dealing with problems with friends, or at school, mothers are usually the strong rock in the storm, offering support and advice.
When it comes to supporting a daughter as she grows up, mother-daughter rituals are very important. Some of them can even last a lifetime, for example, a set mother-daughter day each month when the "best friends" take time exclusively for each other – for a trip to the movies, a shopping trip, or a visit to the swimming pool together. But it doesn't always have to involve going outside and incurring huge expenses. Mothers and daughters can also spend intensive time at home, for example, on a relaxing spa day for two. To make this a particularly enjoyable experience, Bübchen has put together a small mother-daughter wellness program that is easy to replicate without much effort.
- First rule: Turn off your cell phone , or at least put it on silent. This day belongs to mother and daughter alone; no friend or even work colleague should disturb them.
- For the perfect feel-good atmosphere, transform the bathroom and/or another room in your home (bedroom or living room) into a wellness oasis . Simply turn off the overhead lights and instead switch on small lamps or fairy lights. You can also add candles with your favorite scent. And—most importantly—turn on your favorite music.
- Hair care: How about a homemade hair treatment that mother and daughter can apply to each other? Mash two ripe avocados and mix them with the juice of half a lemon and two tablespoons of olive oil. Simply work the finished hair treatment into your hair and wrap it in cling film. Wrap a terry towel around your head and let the treatment work for 30 minutes. Then, thoroughly rinse it out with a Bübchen shampoo and conditioner, such as Sweet Vanilla or Happy Berry.
- The result: beautiful, soft hair that also smells wonderful thanks to the Bübchen product.
- While the hair conditioner is absorbing, you can perfectly use it for a moisturizing face mask: It's easy to do with a cucumber mask . Cut thin slices of cucumber and place them on each other's faces – and if you like, you can also apply some natural curd beforehand.
- A foot bath is ideal for bridging the time it takes for your hair and face mask to work. Simply fill a large bowl with plenty of warm water and add a fragrant essential oil. After 10 minutes, rub your feet dry and then generously apply a moisturizing cream.
- Selfie fun: Now's the time to use your phone again. Because when do you ever wear a towel turban and cucumber mask? Now's the perfect time for a mother-daughter selfie session.
- Hair styling: Next, it's time to style your hair, which calls for all your mom's styling supplies: from hair mousse to setting spray, from curlers to hair dryers. Anything fun and inviting to experimentation is allowed.
- Nail painting session: Now mother and daughter can paint each other's nails – both probably have a repertoire of bright colors that they can try out on each other.
- Outfit selection, with a twist: Finally, it's time to explore the wardrobes. Mother and daughter choose their outfits together. The daughter, in particular, gets to give her mother tips on how to create a new outfit from existing clothes.
With this perfect look, mother and daughter might want to leave the house and end the day with a movie night or a delicious ice cream together. Alternatively, the selfie session could be extended by a few more photos before heading to the couch for a cozy evening of TV with pizza or sushi.
