19 Fun Girls Day Out Ideas
1. Organize a Home Spa Afternoon
Professional spa treatments are a great way to spoil yourself and relax. But they can be quite expensive. Why not plan a home spa afternoon instead? Have your girlfriends come over to your home and spend the afternoon giving each other manicures and pedicures. If you have the same taste in clothes, as friends often do, you can trade clothes out of each other’s closets too!2. Go Out to the Ball Game
Yes, sports would generally not be considered a fun activity for a girls’ day out but you can break the norm next time you spend time with your friends. Get together and make your way to a basketball game, a hockey game or a football game. It really doesn’t matter whether you are actually interested in the game or the teams playing. What you are looking for is a fun break from the typical afternoon at the mall. You may find that it is something you genuinely enjoy and will even want to go to the next game!3. Play a Dare Game
No, you haven’t grown out of dare games! A dare game can be a great way to bond and make fabulous memories, especially if you are a group of very close friends. Whether you are hanging out at a restaurant or out swimming for the afternoon, make it your dare game day. Dare your girlfriend to hit on the cute guy at the next table. If you are out swimming, then dare the group to jump off the highest perch at the pool and buy a drink for whoever does it.- Discover more: Sexy Truth or Dare
4. Go Bowling
You haven’t been out bowling in ages, that’s probably why you can’t keep the ball out of the gutter. But that’s alright. It is time to let yourself go and get a little silly if you want to. Just enjoy each other’s company. Bowling is a great option because it doesn’t cost that much and neither does it require a lot of stamina. It will also help you burn a few calories so you can guiltlessly indulge in a little ice cream as you play. You and your friends can make some wonderful memories at the bowling alley.5. Take a Long Leisurely Drive
