GIRLS TRIP

How much do we love our girlfriends? I know without mine, I wouldn’t be whole. As we get older, finding time to get together is almost impossible with adult responsibilities, so it needs to be something you schedule time for. It’s sad when you hear some women say they won’t go on a trip without their partner. It’s understanding I guess because vacation time and money is hard to come by, but it really is well worth the cost. So how about doing a 4 day weekend at least once a year to catch up with your besties.

Here are a few U.S Cities perfect for a girls trip.

Austin, Texas

Austin is such a cool town, with a laid back, artistic vibe. Perfect for a girls trip that includes great food, cool people and an awesome music scene.

Where to stay

Check out the Heywood Hotel that offers unique art, bikes to ride and only 7 rooms so you and the girls can basically have the whole place to yourselves. It’s also just a 15 minute walk to downtown.

Places to eat

MIAMI, FLORIDA

Are you and your friends looking for indulgence? Then Miami’s the place for your girls getaway. There are tons of stunning hotels to choose from, every type of food on the planet, beaches galore and shopping for days. Plus, some of the most beautiful spas in America. Lapis is one of the best around. Located in Fontainebleau, Lapis has some of the best treatments you and the ladies will fall in love with. When Martha Stewart says it’s the most beautiful spa in America, take notice.

The Treatments:

Harmonizing massage

Escape to Nirvana

Three layer cool peel

An Infusion of oxygen

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA

Have you seen the movie Girl’s Trip? New Orleans is the biggest bachelorette town in America and there is good reason for it. It’s a place you can be what ever you want to be and no one will judge. Start off at Bourbon Street and let loose. Every day is Fat Tuesday on Bourbon Street but don’t be scared, women flashing for beads is not a daily occurrence.
