There's no better way to spend your spring break than with friends! Have a sleep over, do face masks, mani-pedis, you name it!
Give Yourself a Makeover

Minnidip Host a Pool Party
You don't need an in-ground setup to host a really fun pool party for your entire crew. You can get an inflatable pool (which will look really cute on IG, btw) for under $100. When you're finished, just fold it up for next time.
Clean Out Your Closet
Think about it. When was the last time you saw half of the stuff in there? It's time for a change and some organization. Who knows what you'll find and think of all the new outfits you can make.
Explore Your City
How well do you really know your neighborhood? Spring break is a great chance to find out! Walking around in a new area, you never know what you'll find.
Go on a Road Trip
Flying is cool, but you can see so much more with no clouds in the way. Take your besties with you on the road or head out on your own adventure. Either way, you get to see so much more of the world around you.
Host a Spa Day
Save your $$ and host a DIY spa day (or night) with your besties. Grab your fave masks and gather some cute nail art inspo for an epic girl's night in.
Start Crafting!
Crafting is the hobby you'll never get bored of because there's always something to make. Paint, knit, whatever you want! Express yourself in the most fun way possible.
Cook Yummy Dishes
Channel your inner foodie! If you're not an expert in the kitchen, but love to eat, now's your chance to learn new recipes and try out fun dishes.
Check Out a New Restaurant
If you're still looking to channel your inner foodie but cooking just isn't for you, restaurants are always an option. Find one you've never been to or one that serves food you've never tried and go for it. You just might become a regular.
Play with Puppies
Don't have a pet but itching to play with one? Go to your local dog park or shelter and give those puppies some love!
