#BFFGlamGetaway Recap: Beaches, Besties, and Bungalows… Oh My!

BFF Glam Getaway - Beaches, Besties, and Bungalows

#BFFGlamGetaway – Hilton Head Island

Hi Lovelies!

As many of you may have heard by now, I and several of my BFF besties just returned from a fun-filled weekend in fabulous Hilton Head. And if you’ve never been to Hilton Head let me tell you that you are in for a definite treat! The family and I have made it a tradition to visit this fabulous beachfront escape several times each year to relax a bit, unwind a little, and to take advantage of the shopping. Believe it or not, visiting a retail shop for me, even while on vacation, is like relaxing in a warm chamomile and lavender bath, and with all of the shopping in and around Hilton Head I always manage to curb my spa fix. 😛 So as luck would have it, this past Spring/Summer my hubby and I were “kid free” for a few days so we decided to sneak away to our favorite weekend getaway spot, fabulous Hilton Head. While we were there we ventured away from our typical hangouts and discovered so many new and exciting places that we hadn’t noticed the many times before. Needless to say we had an absolute blast! Well, after our trip I began to wonder…hmmm; I would love to gather a few of my blogging buddies and come back for a “glam getaway”. I mean what diva wouldn’t want to kick up her heels and relax for a few days; do some shopping, take in some amazing island views, and have a little fun? So now that the stage was set, it was time to gather up my BFF besties for our first annual #BFFGlamGetaway! Our bags were packed, our outfits were selected, and now it was time for the BFF’s to head down to South Carolina’s “Low Country” for a bit of fun and sun BFF style!

We arrived Friday evening to an amazing private beachfront home that had the most incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean from every view. We affectionately dubbed it the BFF Bungalow; our home away from home for the next few days. It was absolutely gorgeous; and with mere steps away from a private beach we were sure to have plenty of fun during our stay. There were comfy appointments throughout the home including a private pool and Jacuzzi that we took full advantage of during our NUVO Nights event later that evening. The homes’ décor was eclectic with hints of old world charm set within a spacious and open floor plan that was perfect for entertaining. So, after we picked our mouths up from the floor it was time to celebrate! NUVO Sparkling Liqueur provided the sips for the evening while we relaxed in the Jacuzzi and toasted to a fabulous weekend of fun. What a wonderful way to kick things off!

The following morning all of the ladies rose early for our Sunrise by the Surf event as we met along the beach to witness a breathtaking view of the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean. The view was absolutely gorgeous as we each took a moment to take in the beautiful view and prepare for a fabulous day of ahead. After bathing our skin in the morning sun we headed back to the BFF Bungalow for a bite to eat and a glass of NUVO inspired Mimosas. And nothing says “Good Morning” like a Mimosa wouldn’t you agree!? 😉 So, as we entered the home we walked in to several amazing tablescape setups by BFF Mari of Beyond Greatness Event Planning. They were so lovely and featured crystal gems, personal picture placements, and multilevel displays. OMG!!! It was sooo beautiful! I absolutely LOVED the crystal candle holders and the candy displays! Words simply cannot serve them justice, so I will let the pics speak for themselves!

Fab fresh fruit parfaits, delish Danish, and mini muffins were on display as we were presented with yet another wonderful surprise by BFF Kerrie of Virtuous Styls. Miss Kerrie presented each of the ladies with a “personal style” letter describing each of our individual styles in a message of empowerment. Huge hugs to Miss Kerrie for her inspiring words. We were adorned yet again by Miss Kerrie later that day as she also hosted our Diva’s & Discounts (Tanger Takeover) event at Tanger Outlet. As much as I would love to share all of the details about our shopping excursion, I will save the juice for later.

Ok, so later that afternoon, after returning from the Diva’s & Discounts (Tanger Takeover) event, we made our way back to the beach for our Besties on the Beach event. BFF’s Kerrie, Sophia, and Parker seized the moment and snapped a few pics for their haute fashion photo shoot on the beach, while I channeled Bo Derek from her “10” days and took a picture perfect run alongside the ocean waves. 😀 We had such a wonderful time!
