How to Have a Spa Day Over FaceTime

Living far apart from your partner makes shared relaxing activities hard. FaceTime lets you have a spa day together from different places. Prepare towels and creams in your bathroom before you call. Position the device so you can see each other. Follow the steps at the same time and talk about how they feel. The whole thing takes an hour and uses things you have at home. It gives time to focus on each other.

1. Tie a Towel Turban ✨

Action

Wet your hair in the sink if you like then take a clean towel. Wrap it around your head and twist it at the top to hold it. Show your partner how you did it on the call. Have them do the same on their side. Talk about if it feels secure or needs adjustment.

Pro-Tip

Use a towel that is the right size for your hair length. A clip can help keep it from unwrapping during the call.

Tell your partner what you would do to help them with their towel if you could reach through the screen.

2. Apply a Face Mask ✨
