There's nothing better than a day of food, shopping, and self-care with your best friend. That’s exactly what we did in The Shoals - here’s how our perfect girls’ day went!

We started our morning at Rivertown Coffee Co., because coffee first! Iced lattes + breakfast sandwiches were the perfect start before a full day out. ☕️

Next stop was Bare Beauty Skin Studio for customized facials. We left with our skin glowing & relaxed! 🧖‍♀️

Around the corner is Wilson Park where we took a stroll, caught up on life, and enjoyed the beautiful weather & view of the fountain. ⛲️

After a quick outfit change, we stopped into Banqet Patisserie for chocolate croissants and another fun drink before heading to shop around in Downtown Florence. 🥐

There are many cute shops in Florence:

🛍 Myrilla Boutique (as pictured)

🛍 Billy Reid

🛍 Reclaimed Spirit

🛍 Mom's Happy Finds

& so many more!! View them all here!

We decided it was time for dinner and headed to Jack's Place Bistro, where we got tikka masala, Caesar salad, and a bread basket to share. (you must get this if you go!) 🥖

The walls were covered in posters from movies and shows that the owner & chef Jack White has worked on as a food stylist including: The Hunger Games, Iron Man 2, The Amazing Spiderman, and The Office. There was even live music, it was such a fun environment! 🎶

As a nightcap, we headed to the GunRunner Boutique Hotel. It was the coziest scene and voted 2024’s #1 Boutique Hotel in America by USA Today. The perfect spot for catching up and planning our next fun getaway! ✨
