Bachelorette Takes Over Sleepy Calistoga!

What happens when 5 wild women go to a sleepy town and one of them wears a veil? They take over the town. Bernadine Rosso (maid of honor) and Sarah Medlicott (bridesmaid) planned a spectacular bachelorette party in Calistoga. Top (Left to Right): Client and friend Shannon Law of Radiance Health Solutions, Maid of Honor Bernadine Rosso, Client and friend PJ Van Hulle of Getting Started in Real Estate Investing
Bottom: (Left to Right): Sharla Jacobs and Rejuvenate Trainer, Senior Rejuvenate Coach and Bridesmaid Sarah Medlicott


We headed to Calistoga on a Tuesday afternoon and arrived at our destination spa, Indian Springs
where they have an Olympic sized mineral springs pool and an incredible spa.

After settling in to our cottages, we enjoyed
dinner at the
Calistoga Inn for a delicious meal.

When we returned, Sarah and Bernadine
tried on their sexy bridesmaid dresses for us.

I gave them their gifts early because I got them gorgeous
Austrian Crystal Necklaces in different colors to wear with
their bridesmaid dresses (and beyond).

Here's a sneak preview of how beautiful they will look on
mine and Jesse's wedding day. (Stay tuned for wedding photos
posted to the blog in early November)
Our second day at Indian Springs we spent the day at the spa where I received my first mud bath and then a luxurious massage & facial. That night we went out to dinner at Wappo Bar & Bistro. I can't say enough about how magnificent our food was at Wappo!

And did you know how much you can get away with when wearing a bridal veil?

Here we are at the start of our night out at Wappo Bar & Bistro.

A lot happened between the picture above and the picture below...let's just say we took over the town for a couple of hours (okay, so there were only about 50 people out that night, but we still took over and created some magic!)

We finished our Wednesday night outing with a cuddle party at 2am.
