Picture this: Mallorca, Spain, one giant house, and 13 girls. Yes… I said THIRTEEN! And let me tell you, it was a blast! To some, this may sound terrifying (I had my doubts as well), but it ended up being a trip that I’ll cherish forever. Here are my 10 reasons why you should take that girls getaway.
1. You can make new friends
I didn’t know everyone on this trip. In fact, it started with just myself and a close friend and grew from there. Now I’m lucky to call each of those girls my friends!
2. You’ll step outside of your comfort zone
This is a hard thing to do, but is always rewarding. Take this chance to go somewhere new, try new things, and grow as a person.
3. You will learn more about your gal pals and yourself
This goes along with #2, but trips like these really allow you to open up and learn more about your friends and about yourself. My friends and I grew closer because of this trip.
4. Girl Talk
Who doesn’t love to sit down with your girlfriends and just talk about anything and everything!? We talked recipes, our latest show obsessions, books, make-up, mommy talk, family drama, travel plans, our significant others, and everything else under the sun (literally!).
5. You can relax and recharge
Take this opportunity to get away from work, stress, or just home in general. Everyone needs a little vacay, so why not do it?
6. Feel like a kid again
Yes, i do still consider myself and my friends young! (Do we ever feel like adults though?) But this vacation felt like an adult slumber party and I loved it! Between the pool floaties to the sour candy straws, it took me back.
7. Sangria on the beach
Or wherever your getaway takes you. Grab your go-to beverage, your BFF’s and sip your worries away.
8. Do all the things your partner can’t stand
Going away with your girls means you can finally do some of the things your partner doesn’t enjoy. Go shopping, watch a chick-flick or eat at the restaurant you’ve been dying to try out!
9. Hang poolside or beachside
As I mentioned before, we were lucky enough to go to Mallorca, Spain and about 90% of our time was spent by the beach or pool. I had some pretty great poolside chats, feet dangling in the water, and a beer in hand.
10. Be yourself
The majority of my trip was spent make-up free and my hair in a pony tail. Your girls are who you can be yourself around and just relax. Everyone on this trip was supporting one another, complimenting each other, and it was a total judgement-free zone. (Don’t you wish the whole world was this way?)
This is the second girls trip I have been on since living in Europe and I know it won’t be my last! So take my advice and go for it!
