Sisters will give you an honest evaluation of an outfit choice, lipstick color or hairdo. Dedicating a rainy day to beauty maintenance will allow sisters to provide feedback and assistance in updating their appearances. They can have at-home makeovers by experimenting with face masks, manicures, hair coloring, make-up and waxing. These at-home beauty regimens provide sisters with hours of rainy day fun and give them a chance to help each other with personal upkeep.
Board Games

Board games give sisters an opportunity to pass time indoors with some friendly competition. They might play some classic board games from their past, such as Yahtzee, Scrabble, Monopoly or Clue, to reflect on the good times they had in childhood. Playing board games with silly challenges or questions, such as Loaded Questions, Cranium and Taboo, allows sisters to have fun together and use their closeness as a team advantage. For instance, they can reference events from their past as clues to a word while playing Taboo.
