Sisterhood + Sandwiches At The 2015 Self-Care Retreat

I am still over the moon about the recent Self-Care Retreat held last month in Alexandria, Virginia. I wake up pinching myself like, Did that really just happen? 

Part of the reason why it was so magical is because it truly felt like the women in the room were the women who were meant to be there. We all meshed so well and so quickly—it was like we were meant to be friends and this was the catalyst.

In order to help facilitate the budding friendships, I put two events—the Friday welcome reception and the Saturday pajama party—on the agenda to make sure we had enough time to relax and unwind together, just as women in need of sisterhood.

Of course, no reception or pajama party would be complete without food, right? BJ’s Wholesale Club generously sponsored our evening food, from the turkey, ham and roast beef croissant sandwiches, hummus, pita chips, and fruit and veggie platters.

It was so easy to plan the menu. They have a wide selection of festive, fresh and fine-quality foods, with deli platters, cookie assortments and custom-order cakes made exactly to your specifications. Ordering is easy—browse through BJ’s Party Planning brochure, then fill out an order form (either at the club or at home) and drop it into the kiosk at your local club. Your order can be ready for pick-up in as little as 24 hours! I went to the local BJ’s in Alexandria and was in and out in 20 minutes.

We had a great time, playing Heads Up! and laughing for hours. Friendships were cemented at the retreat and I can not WAIT to do it again next year.

Thank you BJ’s for supporting the 2015 Self-Care Retreat!!
