I’m back home from vacation, but still daydreaming about last week. For the second year in a row, my girlfriends and I treated ourselves to the spa at The Pearl Hotel during our annual trip to Rosemary Beach, Florida. Spending nearly a full week at the beach with a gaggle of children, we knew we wanted a scheduled break just for us ladies. Scratch that. We NEEDED it. The three of us did the same thing last year and it was HEAVEN. In fact, for two years in a row it was one of my most favorite parts of the trip.

Greeted with a glass of champagne upon arrival, we each enjoyed an 80 minute massage at Spa Pearl, which is located right next to one of the most Instagram-worthy pools I’ve ever seen. Afterwards, fully relaxed, we escaped the warm sunshine by sitting in a roof-top cabana, sipping on Frosé and pina coladas. Of course we needed the cheese plate too. Going to Rosemary Beach every year has become a tradition, and I think now a trip to The Pearl has too.

Special thanks to The Pearl! While I paid for my services, they did treat me to a special discount. Muah!
