This one is easy. Invite your girls over for a girl’s night in. Start the night with a little girly pamper. Grab your fave skin care line – Bellaboo we hope! – and start with mini facials on each other. Firstly cleanse skin, using Bellaboo All That Clean Skin Facial Wash. Have a warm bowl of water handy, grab a hand towel and dip into the water until it is soaked and then wring out. Apply the towel over the face, and with a smooth swishing motion, moisten the face. Then get your cleanser, and add some water, rubbing between your hands and then rubbing into the face. Once finished, use the rinsed, wet hand towel over the face to remove the cleanser.
Next step, exfoliate, with Bellaboo Buff Skin Facial Exfoliator. Again use the wet towel to moisten the face. Then mix the exfoliant with water in your hand, rub hands together, and apply over the face. When done, remove with the wet towel.
Dry the face and then apply a yummy mask. Bellaboo Sweet Sin Chocolate Face Mask is a sweet treat for skin that your girls will love! Apply in a thick layer and leave until it dries.
Whilst the mask is drying, time to move onto the mani-pedi station. Soak feet in a tub of water with some drops of essential oil like lavender or peppermint. One foot a time, use a foot scrub with a pedi brush to scrub feet and smooth hardened skin. You can make your own foot scrub by using sea salt.
Apply a moisturizer to the feet. Trim and file nails and then apply colour.
While nails are drying it’s probably time for that mask to come off. Rinse with the wet towel. Dry the face and then apply Bellaboo Gorgeous Skin Moisture Dew.
All the girls can take turns in being the giver and taker of the pampering session. Once you’re all primped and preened, chill out with some yummy fresh fruit and juices. Make dinner together by getting some pizza bases and creating your own toppings. Then settle in for a night of goss, a great movie or dancing around the lounge room!
If you want to take up your girl time a notch or a 100 this is the ultimate. A weekend at the Hollywood hotspot where there is every chance of bumping in to a Jonas brother or a vampire/wolf ….of the Twilight variety!
The Four Seasons Beverly Hills is a Hollywood institution catering to its celeb clientele as well as us mere mortals. BB had the pleasure of staying and checking it out recently and can report it is the BOMB! From it’s gorgeous, luxurious suites, to it’s divine staff who take care of you as if you were indeed of celeb status, down to the decadent pool area with its cabanas and a deck chair that once you snag is reserved for you for 45 minutes. So, you can pop off for a bite to eat, a little spa pamper and return at your leisure to your spot poolside. Not that BB had any inclination of leaving…not with cute pool boys delivering food and drinks on request and even moving umbrellas to ensure protection against the sun!
But if you do feel that you can drag yourself away from its luxurious surrounds, the hotel has its Girlfriends’ Get Away Package. A car will take you to trendy Robertson Boulevard to shop at the likes of Alice & Olivia, Intermix and Seven For All Mankind…to name a few. Not only that but you will be armed with special Four Seasons discount passes to shop in style and with savings!
After you fall back into your chauffeur driven ride with your shopping stash, it’s back to the hotel. We say opt for room service, as you all try on and show off your shop haul and then when that’s done a little movie action with some sweet desserts would make for a perfect Girlfriend GetAway. This is perfect for special treats like birthday, Prom or a celebration of friendship!
Make the Change …Together
There is something so good about making others feel good. Instead of your usual mall rat haunt on a weekend, why not get your girls together to do good? Volunteer at your local dog or cat shelter where you can help out. Volunteer at a soup kitchen to help feed homeless people. Gather up all those items in your wardrobe that have been worn since…like 2009…and take them to your local charity clothing service. Volunteer at your local old people’s home and simply sit and hear their stories and talk to them. I can assure you that a few hours giving someone else something as simple as your time, will make you feel 100 times better than just hanging at the mall. If you do it with your besties it will be an experience to share that will stay with you for a long time. And, trust me, you will make a difference to someone’s day….and to your own!
So, we hope that some girl time is now on your radar with our inspiring ideas on how to hang and enjoy with your besties in celebration of friendship!
