Work hard, then play hard

I lead a fun and BUSY life. Moderation in all things is key to being well balanced. I need to have PLAY TIME! Two of my girlfriends flew down from Utah for a weekend in Palm Springs. Our jaws never tired, even though we talked non-stop the entire 4 days. I miss these gals a whole lot. Thanks to the family members and husband that helped make this possible.

While driving to Palm Springs, we stopped at Glenn Ivy (Corona, CA) for a relaxing day at the spa. I will not be posting most of the photos (courtesy to my friends' wishes) because of the bathing suit attire.

We loved our time in several different pools, baked in the sun with mud all over us and even sat in a mineral bath that was very stinky. It is very affordable, you just gotta try it (all ages are welcome).

We went to In-N-Out

My parents hooked us up at a time share condo, "Cinamaron Golf Course Resort". We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath place with a full kitchen. Not a care in the world...

We spent a day at the pool, since it was over 100 degrees every day we were there.

We had pedicures done.

While we shopped at the stores along the main street in PS, we found this soap store that lathered us up and let us smell combinations of all sorts of scents. Personally, I appreciated the fresh air outside the store, but it was an experience for sure.

This statue attracted many, including Holli. We had the best smoothies at the Mexican restaurant behind her.

I think we went inside almost all 130 outlet stores, including this new "Brighton" store. No kids and the whole day to shop. We were definitely exhausted, but we kept on going!

We ate at Ruby's on the Seal Beach pier and then they experienced Trader Joe's. They had to take another carry-on the plane with all their stashes.

I have been lucky to call these ladies my friends for about 11 years now. We all bought our first homes together, we lived in the same neighborhood, we went to church together, we had our first babies together, we even spent a week together on Lake Tahoe. There are so many experiences to list, but they are the best and I love them lots! Thanks for coming to Cali.

I highly recommend for moms to get away on occasion.
