Sisters and brothers. We probably spent a lot of time with them at home when growing up. But as the years wear on we begin to carve out our own lives and may find ourselves largely apart. Except for the occasional family meeting or friend’s wedding, we might not spend much time with our siblings when older. However, it doesn’t have to be all grim! With deliberate effort we can still catch up on each others’ lives. Today we focus on sisters, how to get that much-needed girl time.
Meal Date
Yes, go out on a date with your sisters! Who said dates are reserved for romantic couples? One of the best settings to have conversations is over a plate of delicious food. Everything’s better with a tasty meal. It doesn’t even have to be at a restaurant. You could opt to prepare a throwdown together as you catch up on the latest stories.
Relaxing Spa Treat
What better way to maintain that sisterhood bond than to glow together? Pick a weekend when you’re both free and take time to unwind. It’s amazing how people are more willing to chat when they are relaxed. The pampering and serene atmosphere is a good stimulator for laid-back and unhindered interaction.
Hair Styling
If you grew up in an African home, you probably remember how we used to do each other’s hair. Whether taking down braid extensions, installing styles with our own hair or simply combing, this was a key part of every African girl’s life. Doing your sister’s hair offers an amazing opportunity to bond, away from the sharp ears of others at the salon. You know how it goes down in those salons!
Adventure
If you’re up for some adrenaline-inducing activities or are looking for a new experiences, spend a day out at a park with your sister. Or go for a day trip and do some hiking. Not only will you get to catch up, but also make memories.
Go ahead, call up your sister(s) for any of these fun activities and have an amazing day full of memories.
