Let's Go to Napa... 2025 edition!!

I just got back from Napa Valley & had such a fun, heart-lightening, beautiful trip with such incredible girls!! We went with Parker Management - our group of influencers/bloggers & managers that are all a part of the team!!

We stayed at Carneros Resort & Spa in Napa, which is a Nancy Meyers, wine-country DREAM! There are over 120 cottages on their 24 acres & includes restaurants, a bright & colorful yet calming pool area with a gorgeous view & is all surrounded by the most stunning pathways with unreal landscaping!! Every time we walked to meet up with each other, we kept looking down every walk way to admire how lush & beautiful it all was!

We had a fun cocktail hour on the first night & got lots of time to visit & chat with everyone! I got to see girls that I have not seen in YEARS!! Plus, so many of us had followed each other for so long, but this was our first time meeting in real life!! Everyone was even BETTER in person!!

I wore this polka-dot Abercrombie dress & now need it in every pattern & color! It was so comfortable & lots of y'all loved it from my stories too!! Of course I had to pair it with my Honey heels that I just cannot get enough of!!

On the first full day in Napa, we had some free time in the morning, a workout class was available, breakfast with a view or in the privacy of our rooms & then we headed to a group brunch at Carneros' restaurant, "The Farm"

From there, everyone headed to their activities... of course we went for the winery option!! These adorable old school vans picked us up, playing classic 70's musicon our way!

The first winery we went to was Saintsbury, established in 1981! The team there showed us around & we got to hear more about the winery itself! A little birdie told us that the process of creating Pinot Noir was perfected here too!! We all enjoyed the wine tasting so much that we ended up... well... racing full speed ahead to the next place. Full pun intended!! See the full video HERE to see some friendly vineyard competition!

We headed to Domaine Carneros after the final race flag was waved (LOL!) By this point, the wine was flowinnnng & we all got to spend lots of quality time together; catching up, laughing with everyone & just enjoying the beautiful Napa Valley day!! I didn't realize it until we pulled up, but I actually had been here before, about 6 or 7 years ago!! It was just as beautiful as I remembered!! I went in the fall last time, and now in the spring — both had such comfortable, perfect weather!

We headed back, I showered & got ready in yet another polka dot look & headed to dinner at "The Hilltop" of The Carneros Resort! Everyone was dressed up so cute & looked stunning! We grabbed photos, headed into dinner & got to celebrate with the Parker team as a handful of people gave speeches & toasts to everyone's incredibly hard work!! It truly is so empowerfing to have a group of hard working, kind, geniune & funny ladies in one space. It makes it so fun that we all get to do what we love, share ideas & inspiration with each other, but also all get to support & cheer each other on in real life too! It was such a special few days for me & lots of the girls there!

We all met up & had a big brunch that next morning as people waited to leave for their flights. Some of the girls & I had later flights so we got to enjoy the pool for a little while, so of courrrrse we wanted to have one last Aperol Spritz before hitting the road & sky!

Quick trips with girls like this make me feel inspired to keep working in new & exciting ways in this career that I love & adore! Although it changes so fast & reinvention can be confusing or intimidating, it is so nice to have these successful refreshers to give confidnece back into what I love to do, which is sharing my real life with y'all! I even forgot how much I love sitting down after a trip & sharing little snippets of these moments & memories with you all, where I can look back & enjoy it all over again too!

Cheers to girlfriends that are beautiful inside & out, friends that support & inspire you daily & cheers to more trips coming up that I am excited to share with you all here on the blog!!
