Music can bond two people like no other, and that's why you should plan on seeing your favorite band live in 2019. Belting out your favorite songs at the top of your lungs with your best friend by your side will certainly be an experience you'll never forget.

Many of us do it for the 'Gram every now and then, but how often do you print tangible photos to hang on your wall or keep in your wallet? Consider taking photos with a disposable or Polaroid camera so that they can have a lifetime beyond any social media app. Get creative, play dress-up, and find a few stunning backdrops.

03
Give Back To Your Community

Giving back is one of the best things you can do for your community. It's even better when you do it with someone you love. You'll have the opportunity to volunteer your time, and maybe even learn more about each other's passions in the process.

04
Get Active

Consider ditching your phones and doing a social media detox with your day one. Plan a day or weekend that won't be interrupted by any cell phone notifications. This is a time for you to have some serious one-on-one bonding time. You'll likely feel so pleased once it's all said and done.

06
Have A Heart-To-Heart

Life gets busy, which can make it difficult to update your bestie on what's going on in your work and social life. Girl time is essential, so why not book a dinner reservation or plan a weekend road trip where you can have a real heart-to-heart?

This will give you the chance to dive deeper and truly connect with your friend. You'll be able to give each other a life update, and it'll make you feel closer than ever.
