The white dress is ready, the cake is ordered, the invitations are sent out, it remains only to arrange a farewell to your cheerful unmarried life, that is, to collect girlfriends for a hen party. There are many options for how to conduct it. We offer you five of them.
Option number 1: exotic
In Indonesia, there was a tradition according to which the bride of royal blood began to prepare for the wedding for 40 days. During this time, she had to not only put her appearance in order, but also to gain worldly wisdom. Women of her family gathered daily in the palace and performed a ritual "lulur", which included cleansing and relaxing procedures. In addition, more experienced relatives morally prepared the girl for family life, gave her useful advice and instructions. Today, any bride can feel like an Indonesian princess, because the Spa ritual "Lulur" offers many beauty salons. The procedure is based on an ancient custom, supplemented by modern elements. The spa ritual begins with a sauna with herbal infusions. Then follows the traditional massage "jamu" with the use of oils with the aromas of jasmine and frangipani, applying to the body of a natural scrub based on turmeric and rice flour. The ritual of the bath with natural sea salt is over, and a mask is present. After the procedure, you will feel refreshed, and the skin will not only become smoother and more radiant, but will also acquire a light tint. Go to the salon you can not alone, but with friends who also need strength. They still have to catch your bouquet.
Option number 2: DOLCE VITA
If you soon hear the screams "Bitter!", It's time to give yourself a little sweet life. For this, it is not necessary to go to a confectioner's shop to be closer to your favorite dessert. It is better to visit the spa procedure, which is based on sweet ingredients. For example, go with your friends to wrap, which includes chocolate, pepper, kaobromin and theobromine. And to feel completely in chocolate, in addition to the wraps, you can choose a massage, a face and hair mask with the same sweet and useful ingredients. If you prefer chocolate desserts to your friends with coconut, then go to a procedure entirely built on coconut milk, that is, consisting of coconut baths and wraps. Useful properties of coconut oil were known even in ancient Egypt. Even then it was used to soften and moisturize the skin. They say that even the legendary Cleopatra took baths with coconut oil and pearl powder. Modern cosmetologists also took on this wonderful tool, because it smoothes the skin, quickly absorbed and does not clog pores. Especially useful are the procedures using coconut oil for those who have recently returned from the south or regularly visit the solarium. Thanks to the content of lauric and capric acids, the oil moisturizes the skin after sunbathing and does not allow it to lose its bronze shade.
Option number 3: who likes hotter
For some reason today it is considered that visiting a bath is predominantly a man's occupation. Nevertheless, not one wedding in Russia could not do without a real "bath day." The bride and her friends went not just to steam, but also to tell how the family life of each of them will develop. And today you can go to the bath exclusively by a women's company, but if you want to exotic, then you have a choice between the Turkish hammam and the Japanese ofuro. Hammam - a traditional Turkish bath, according to the "heat of passion" in no way inferior to the Russian steam room. The temperature there reaches 120 degrees, but instead of wooden shelves, there are marble benches. The principle of the Turkish bath is as follows: the water tank standing in the middle of the room is constantly heated, and the steam released during this operation is fed through special openings. In addition, because of the unique combination of a sufficiently high temperature and humidity of air in such a bath, you can spend a lot of time without feeling any discomfort. Rest, relaxation of muscles, detoxification, correction of the figure, cleaning of the pores of the skin - all this guarantees us a Turkish bath. If you prefer hot Turkey to the mysterious Japan, you can try the traditional Japanese bath - ofuro. Residents of the Land of the Rising Sun, like no other, follow their emotional state and inner harmony, because their bathing traditions are based, first of all, on relaxation. If you and your friends are tired of active recreation and noisy parties, be sure to visit the Ofuro. After all, there you can remove stress, get rid of insomnia, improve immunity, give rest to the soul and body. Ofuro has the same effect on the skin as a traditional bath. When steam is opened, pores are opened, salts and toxins are removed, and the complexion improves. To steam in Japanese, you need to dive into a special barrel made of wood, furako, with water heated to 40-50 degrees. For greater effect, scented salts or herbal decoctions are added to the water. There is another kind of ofro: the water heats up to 60 degrees, and as medicinal herbs and even sawdust. The Japanese, being famous for all kinds of technical novelties, introduced an element of progress into their traditional bath procedure. The temperature of water in modern furako is controlled by special thermal sensors and microprocessors. By the way, right after visiting ofuro, you will feel an incredible surge of energy, so your bachelorette party is unlikely to end there!
Option number 4: in the open air
If your wedding is scheduled for the height of summer, then you have a great opportunity to organize a hen party on the beach. But it is better to look in advance for information about the place of the presumed hen party. Choose those beaches where security measures are taken, tents are installed. Many recreation areas offer their guests other entertainment - ping-pong, volleyball, boating, catamarans and water skiing. If you planned a wedding for the winter, this is not yet the reason to give up the hen party in the fresh air. For example, go the whole company to the ice rink. Skating improves coordination and posture, strengthens the muscles of the legs and lower back. In addition, you will be in the open air, which will favorably affect the color of the face. If before that day you've never skated, take your skates for hire to see if your second exit on the ice will take place, or you should put a cross on this venture. Rolling skates, as a rule, have a lot of drawbacks: they may not fit you according to the size or width of the foot, and the blade is often stained. If you and your friends plan to go to the ice rink on a regular basis, it's better to get your own pair of skates. The first access to the ice, it may seem to you very difficult. After all, you need to be able to keep balance, push off and slide. But, most likely, in your company there will be both beginners, and more skilled figure skaters. Hence, those who are on the ice not the first day, will be able to help beginners and clearly demonstrate the correct technique of skiing. Or you can take a few lessons from the instructor.
Option number 5: sports
You try to keep yourself in good shape, but the monotonous training in the fitness club and the tiring morning jogging you already fed up. If your friends are of the same opinion, then, by joining forces, you can diversify your sports life, for example, by playing curling. To do this, you will need to assemble a company of eight people, split into two teams and determine the order of the rolls. The equipment necessary for the game is rented out on the ice grounds. After all, hardly anyone of you will have at home special brushes, shoes for curling or granite sports equipment, called stones. When one of you sends a shell in the direction of "home" (this is an analog of the gate) rivals, the other team members must rub the ice with special brushes. This allows you to influence the speed and trajectory of the movement of the stone. At first glance it may seem that in this lesson there is nothing complicated. You think, a couple of hours to work with a brush, during the general cleaning did not have to work so hard! Nevertheless, a two-hour "swiping" makes you spend a lot of energy and does not freeze players. The task of each team is to drive as many stones as possible into the home of the opposing team. So the beauty of curling is also in a competitive spirit. After the game you can drink hot green tea and discuss with your girlfriends successful hits. But if your company likes summer sports more, go to the golf course. You just need to find a special field and rent equipment. The goal of the game is to drive the ball into the hole, called "putting-green", faster than all competitors. Playing golf, you can train not only the muscles of the hands and back, but also patience and endurance.
And how are they?
In each country, brides have their own traditions of preparing for a wedding. Chinese women before the wedding must certainly be properly weep, and the Germans - to smash on the threshold of his house a few plates. It is believed that these rites protect against unpleasantness in family life and bring good luck. In Kenya, the hands and nails of the bride are painted with black and red patterns, which can not be washed away for a year. In Morocco, the future wife must take a milk bath, apparently in order to gain strength before the wedding. After all, the celebration can drag on for a whole week. And in Nigeria, as a preparation for the wedding, the bride must necessarily gain weight. After all, if its forms are not sufficiently magnificent, the groom can simply escape from under the crown.
