Do you have Bestie goals? I do!
If your anything like me, you’re always brainstorming ways to live your best life with your gal pals. Whether it’s beach bumming or traveling to midy places for foodie adventures, much needed girl time is always high on the list.
With the New Year among us, I’ve started to set some Bestie goals. This is a chance for me to set aside my wife and mom hat, if only for a short while for some girl chat, fashion lessons, waiting to exhale moments and so much more. So, if you too are destined to live your best life with your Bestie, read on for some fun ideas.
52 Things To Do With Your Bestie This Year
1. Hold each other accountable – Every girl needs an accountability partner! What’s better than to play that role then your Bestie. Create some goals and go crush them! Don’t forget to check in with your Bestie to see how she is coming along.
3. Become Coupon Buddy’s – I love saving money all year around. I mean, who doesn’t? The top of the year is the perfect time to save money where you can. It’s more money in your pockets to save for other things. Find you a coupon fairy, check those sales ads, roam the clearance aisles and save each other some money. You might even create a killer stock pile in the process.
2. Create vision boards – My favorite thing to do at the top of the year is to gather the girls and have a vision board party! So, grab your Bestie and have a great time making your goals visible. Add a glass of wine and some of your favorite snacks and its a party. Last year I used these inspirational stickers and they were a huge hit!
4. Skill Swap – Your Bestie may possess a skill that you have been dying to learn. It could be crocheting, sewing or even graphic design. Skill swap! Teach her something that you know and vice versa.
5. Library Date – I love reading and its a complete bonus if my Bestie does too. A Saturday morning library date sounds great! Why pay full price for books when you can rinse and repeat. Grab some self-help books, business guides or inspiring biographies and find a corner for some peace and quiet.
6. Take a workout class – I love working out with friends. It keeps me motivated! Find a fun workout for you and your Bestie and go sweat it out.
7. Get in the kitchen – What’s better than getting in the kitchen with your Bestie!?! Create some new recipes, test out some old ones or just have fun eating.
8. Attend some networking events – The top of the year is the perfect time to network around your city. There is always professional events going on around the city so check around social media. Grab your Bestie and enjoy an afterwork cocktail and don’t forget your business cards.
9. Go volunteer – Giving back is so rewarding! It’s a great gesture to do all year around. But, why not set the tone for your year with some post holiday volunteering. The more hands on deck the better!
10. Have a clothes swap – I’m sure you both have clothes in your closet you are dying to get rid off. Make room for all those Christmas gifts and have a clothing swap with your Bestie. What’s old to you may be new to her or you may even have things with tags that you can no longer fit or are no longer interested in. It’s a great way to save and catch some laughs.
11. Bible Study – We all need that friend that will quote a scripture in a heartbeat. We need the Bestie that will pray you through any situation. Hold your own bible study with your Bestie to strengthen you faith for whatever may come your way this year.
