Palm Springs Girls Weekend Recap

Alix and I jetted off to Palm Springs this past weekend for a much needed girls trip of relaxing by the pool, pickleball, long walks, and a day at the spa. After the two week winter break in the cold, we were anxious for some sunshine and warmth on our skin. It was exactly what we needed.. we got 10 hours of sleep each night, ate yummy food, read by the pool, and enjoyed being responsible for only ourselves for 3 full days.

Travel OOTD: The Bar

We had a 7 am flight out of Seattle so we could maximize our time in Palm Springs.. an early morning calls for sweats and sweats only.

coffee talk the whole flight there

We stayed at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa. We both grew up coming here during our high school spring breaks and it’s so nostalgic for us. The property is massive, with multiple restaurants and pools situated beautifully on a golf course. It’s a stunner.

You’d expect nothing less from us.. we hit the pickleball courts first thing upon landing

This ho smoked me 6 out of 8 games wearing her pink scuba hoodie

Played in my Amazon runsie

Immediately hit the pool for massive salads and lounging

We stayed on property the first night for dinner as they have a beautiful sushi lounge and bar right in the lobby. A glass of bubbles to wash it down of course.

On Saturday we hit the spa for deep tissue massages. Their spa is absolutely gorgeous and huge with all the amenities.

Sometimes hotel massages aren’t the best but this one was top tier. 60 minutes of complete relaxation.

You know we love a good sauna situation

Walked to the motherland, Nekter, for green juices

Spent the remainer of the day at the spa pool since it was super quiet and peaceful, located right on hole 18

Making a dent in this and chatted about who we would have on our five star weekends if we ever hosted one 😉

Enjoye a spritz in the hot tub

a little heavy on the aperol pour but oh so delish

Got ready for dinner at 3:45 pm lol // wearing these leather pants, grey sweater, and flats

Then forced a hungry Alix around the resort for a photo shoot

Workshop Kitchen is our favorite restuarant in all of Palm Springs so we couldn’t resist the duck fat fries, glasses of bubbles, sides and a burger (not shown but absolutely inhaled)

Packed identical outfits for night 2, which tracks

Found the good lighting

Desert sunsets know what they’re doing

woke up on Sunday and went for a 4 mile walk in the glorious sunshine but first had to say hi to our flamingo friends

Feeling rejuvinated and thankful we get to take this time away while the dudes hold down the fort at home

Where to next?! We do this every year and already brainstorming our next stop 🙂
