Captain Jill. Next Pampered Lady Cruise: July 25th

Cruise with no kids, no chaos, no worries. Who’s not on board for the next Pampered Lady cruise, July 25th?

When it comes to mind and body, I know fewer quick fixes than a 3-hour cruise aboard a luxury yacht with flowing champagne, massages and the fresh ocean air. The Pampered Lady cruise, hosted by Parenting OC magazine invites ladies to set sail several times a year. On a recent cruise, a feisty crew embarked out of Newport harbor, ready to let their hair down. I couldn’t resist.

As we walked from deck to deck, all were summoned to take a “break from life,” to dine, mingle and get treatments from fun new do’s and sparkly makeup to deep-tissue rubs and energy healing to mobile tanning and foot-ahh reflexology.

Gourmet spreads met an open bar of wine and bubbly, paired with live music, gambling and giveaways that seemed to happen from launch to dock.

We were wined, dined and left to fully unwind. Enough said? The next cruise sets sail July 25th. Till then here is the PLM photo story to make you fell like you were there, minus the actual chocolate martinis (sorry to tease). Click the big, gorgeous yacht below to see the day.

So here’s my “three-hour cruise, a three-hour cruise…”
