Reasons You Need to Get Away with the Girls

1. You have something to celebrate! Be it a special birthday (29, AGAIN!) or a great new job – what better way to celebrate than with the women who probably helped you get to where you are today.

2. It’s time to branch out and try something different. You’ve had countless days of the same routine; wake up, feed the kids, get ready for work, commute, work, come home, make dinner…you get the picture. Time to change your routine even if it is only for 2 or 3 days. Trust me you will feel recharged and re-energized. Maybe upon return you will appreciate your routine, or maybe you’ll tweak it a little.

3. Travel with no extra baggage meaning boyfriend/husband and kids. Yes, they are the center of your universe but taking time to charge your battery will make you a stronger person and that helps everyone!

4. It will give you the push you need to take yourself out of the comfort zone. With a couple of friend on a resort weekend, you’d be game for anything, especially if you are promised an hour long massage.

5. Being a woman in today’s society is a marathon not a sprint–most women will spend 17 years caring for children and 18 years helping an elderly parent. Is one weekend a year going to hurt? No, in fact it will help you build reserves for the rest of the race.

6. You could potentially be saving over $1,000. The cost of one therapy session twice a month for 1 year could be as much as $1,700. Plan a Girlfriend Getaway on a budget as small as $400 can be just as therapeutic and just way more fun such as Weekender Dallas on July 27-29, 2012. This luxury weekend package includes 3 days and 2 nights of the fabulous life featuring high-end, exclusive brands, signature tasting suites, fashion show, parties while you stay overnight in the posh W Dallas-Victory.

7. You don’t have time for all the self-help and how-to books that are piling up on your nightstand. Instead of spending all those hours pouring over books, go away with the girls for great conversations. It could fill a book with all the advice, tips and life lessons your girlfriends have to offer. Whether you need advice on losing weight, dealing with a colicky baby, a moody teenager or a difficult boss, chances are your friends have been through it and can tell you what worked for them and what did not.

Here’s 7 fabulous reasons to get away with the girls. Here is my guarantee–do it once AND you will be planning your next one before the trip is even over. Trust me!
