The Weekend Lens
Here are some scenes from a weekend getaway to Palm Springs with my sister and a gathering of her East and West coast friends.
I love my sister. She's one of the most kind, intelligent, loving and considerate people I know. And we really don't get to see each other enough. We try to get together at least a couple times a year - often over Spring Break and then again at Halloween. This was the first time since our daughter's were born that we got together without kids in tow.
The fun included going to a Blowdry & Beauty Bar in Palm Dessert called All Tressed Up for hair and make-up. So fun to get all fancy and then go to dinner at The Parker (and so totally something that I don't usually do).
This weekend was really all about celebrating my sister. Her amazing friend Jordan put together a beautiful brunch.
We had a spa day at SpaTerre at The Riviera. I can't remember the last time I had a facial.
We shared delicious drinks and food and relaxed and talked and talked and talked. Exactly how it should be.
And we had a yoga session by the pool. We all really loved this part - the yoga instructor was awesome.
Love you guys so much. So happy to get to celebrate my sister with her best friends.
What a wonderful way to celebrate your sister ! It sounds like a terrific girly bonding session. Love it and think my girlfriends should do something similar for a friend's 40th
especially as she's been having a hard year. Thanks for sharing it Ali.

Sisters are the BEST! My sister is my very best friend since she was born. Thanks for sharing. Was this for a birthday? Or just because? I think I should plan one of these weekends...

Looks like so much fun! The hair is beautiful. I wish I could achieve that soft flowing look. I would have loved yoga by the pool. Just lovely.

I think you need another sister, and I'm just the gal. LOLOL!! What an awesome weekend, that would be SO much fun to do! =)
The hair and make up especially...haven't done that for myself in many years. And sitting around with pretty drinks and talking? If there's something better out there then I don't know what it is!
