Greetings!

I always loved Cindy Lauper's song, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and this past weekend we did just that during a fabulous spa inspired Girlfriends Weekend at my Topanga Retreat home. 

Just Imagine girlsOur kick-off was a girl's night out to the intimate Hayworth Theatre to see a fabulous musical sing-along, Just Imagine, about the music and personal life of John Lennon.  Highly recommended:  www.justimaginetheshow.com

Women's Wisdom Circle coupled with  pedicures and girl talk in my new outdoor Red Meditation Tea Loungespa inspired dinner menu prepared by us all and enjoyed al fresco on the terrace with mountain views.  Goddess dancing inspired by yogi-beat music, slumbering off to the sounds of nature, chirping crickets, croaking frogs, hooting owls, an ocassional peacock call in the fresh mountain air while gently rocking in my amazing Floating Bed which hangs from a large oak tree on the hillside.

Floating girls weekend
Sunday morning  we all enjoyed a "floating" coffee clutch, healthy breakfast, invigorating hike to Eagle Rock and an ocean view, lunch, afternoon yoga, sacred card readings, more relation and girl talk.
