Can a Resort Girl turn down free tickets to a PGA Tour? No way! This RG was offered free tickets to the PGA Tour at East Lake!

Being a work week day, it was hard to get a Resort Girl or Guy buddy. So, what is a safe and stylish way to go if, at last minute, a Resort Girl must go to an event alone? Call a taxi or even splurge for a sedan or limo! And there is a fantastic firm in Atlanta for RGs called Greene Limo.

They will drop you off and pick you up in a safe, secure area. This Resort Girl lucked out and got picked up in a 6 person stretch, as sedans were scarce. I did not complain when I saw it pulling down East Lake Drive.

We were even allowed to exit through the same, secure PGA tour exit used by the players, as the car was too big to turn around. And what a PGA tour day it was! The sun was out on Thursday with a cool, brisk fall breeze in the air.

A fellow Resort Girl in the hotel locker room made me feel confident, giving me a two thumbs up on my outfit before heading out to watch  the tour.

This is every stylish Resort Guy and Girl’s dream — to stand out on the course. Even if it you are not playing well, you can still look darn good! Sporting events are no different than any top social event. RG and Gs want to have style and stand out from the crowd.

I styled myself in Nike clothes from Edwin Watts and new neon shades. I complemented my look with neon-accented accessories – from shoe laces to the rubber soles of my Ecco golf shoes.

The cool breeze caused me to pop on my neon diamond knee socks to keep my legs warm. I always keep a pair in my fall bag (and by the way, they are totally a style hit.) Several guys came up and gave my look an enthusiastic two thumbs up.

Do not underestimate the power of a stylish sock  – be it knee, boot or thigh-high. It adds POW to your outfit! But, here’s an RG tip – with fashion knee socks, you must double up a sock for sport with a fun footie one. I used a neon one for this outfit.

It is fun to find your personal Resort Girl or Guy style and see what works by getting feedback from fellow RGs. One other RG fashion tip is to mix up your sporting and resort looks with accessories. Feel free to mix sporting lines — yoga for tennis, tennis for golf, etc. Tennis and even yoga jackets work well for golf, as my tour day jacket was from Zella active wear by Nordstrom’s. This line has great lines, patterns and sexy slits.

The PGA Tour day event itself was a blast and, thanks to Charles Schwab, I got an up close view of the 14th green from the Schwab Sky Box. There’s nothing like being eye-to-eye with the best golfers in the world. Add free food, beer and a classy crowd — what an RG day to remember! And this brings up another good thing about using a car service – you don’t have to drive home and can add a bit of early afternoon cheer to your tour.

A word of advice, Resort Girls  – always be smart and know your personal cheering limits. No stumbling to the car – as many times they are parked far from the action during sporting events and you’ve gotta remember where the pick-up stand is!

As this RG has said before – Resort Girls have the confidence and smarts on how to go it alone!

And it was a day to remember! This RG plans to attend more PGA tour events. RGs, if you find yourself given free tickets to an event, don’t shy away from going – even if you find out last minute you are on your own. Call a car, go in style, go with confidence, but most importantly have smarts when you go it alone.

Resort Girls and Guys, share your favorite PGA Tour day experience!

One of this Resort Girl’s fave short vacays still has got to be Avalon in Alpharetta, GA. My SUV just wants to pull off the interstate for a visit every time I drive into the city.

My spur of the moment RG vacay usually begins with a filling lunch, as you need energy to walk the Avalon avenues. My choice is Whole Foods, where this country RG can pick up some city food and choice groceries. This is such a popular spot and the parking lot gets pretty packed at lunch, but there are plenty of indoor and outdoor seats to park yourself at. Not to mention, the food selection is AMAZING! There’s almost too much to choose from for this Resort Girl! Then, on top of that, I have to walk by that swirling case of ice cream and the large glass cases of every sweet delicious dessert an RG could desire. I just sit there and stare and let my mouth water!

Next, I head off to walk the avenues of Avalon and to walk off the calories – so indulge a bit, just like this Resort Girl does.

With each return to Avalon, I find a few new stores to explore since there are so many but, there is so little time on a quick, day long vacay. My first choice was the Anthropologie store, where I discovered the most adorable decorative accents for a RG’s bath or kitchen. What a fun set of RG & G mermaid towels to have hanging off your retro-style oven in your beach bungalow.

I could just image my robe hanging from a cute swordfish hook or one of the colorful fish knobs!

Can you imagine repainting a consignment dresser (RGs like to recycle) in a bold color or a bright white and adding a touch of art with these little fishies?

Then it was off to Lululemon. This store is a staple for Resort Girls, as we are all so active and need our attractive activewear. The Lululemon sales team is a great resource to help you personalize your workout attire. On my personal workouts, I have found compression helps with my weaker muscles, made so die to fibromyalgia. The Lulu sales team picked out a pair of Tight Stuff Tight bottoms for me and I love them, as they have great support but also are sexy — I got mine in red!

I also found it was a great time to pick up a pair of sculpt shorts that were on sale. I am thinking about wearing these under my tennis and golf skirts for more support.

It turns out this RG was just about to miss some runway fashion fun on the avenues of Avalon. Outside the Lulu store they had set up a runway for a magical fall evening benefit for Bert’s Big Adventure. What fun to be one of these VIPs!

There are so many stores to visit, and each time this Resort Girl picks a few to explore and remember for her next return trip to Avalon.

Just walking down the streets is a relaxing experience – to sit and reflect in their cushy outdoor couches on what you saw, what you smelled and all the sounds surrounding you on an afternoon RG vacay among the top shops and beautiful brick-lined streets of Avalon. It is a great place to Relax, Reflex and Recharge…

What are your fave stores in Avalon? Let your fellow RGs know, so we can stop by on our next quick vacay to Avalon…

Dogs do it and cats do it every morning…stretch that is, and humans need to do it too. One good reason to stretch is to keep your muscles in motion and another is to keep your skin smoother – those ripples you tend to see are too tight muscles. You need to get them moving and massaged or Resort Girls will get the fuzz!

“The what?!” you say? Why did this RG want to know about the buzz about this thing called the fuzz…to improve the looks of my skin? RGs of all ages want to look and feel their best, but should always try to do it naturally. Natural is so much healthier. Whenever this RG hears some new buzz about how to achieve this, she will certainly share with other RGs.

My chiropractor was the one who told me to learn about the fuzz by viewing a popular video. Let me warn you, it does have dead people parts in it, so not a good thing to view while eating dinner like this RG was. My chicken wing just looked a bit too much like someone’s arm.

Anyway, this is a fun and cute video by Dr. Gill Hedley to view and learn the buzz about your RG fuzz.

As he says in the video, every morning when you wake up and stretch… you melt your fuzz. Less fuzz has lead to smoother skin in this RGs case.

I know my little pooch Windsor would pop out of his little bed and do a big puppy stretch in front of the door every morning. Each and every day he stretched, even when he came out of his little doggie house after his nap.

So, we Resort Girls need to learn from our adorable best friends, our pets. Get down on the floor with your puppy or kitty cat and stretch away together! If not, recruit your BFF RG and get moving each AM with a quick walk, or yoga class before work and stretch — but always seek professional trainers before any new physical activity. As with any movement, there are proper stretches too. Yoga is a great way to learn some healthy moves and it has been where this RG has learned the best stretches for her body.

So share the buzz on fuzz… and keep stretching like your puppy!

Are your BFF Resort Girls also your sporting buddies? This RG has a theory that women who play together stay together as lifelong friends. Kids grow up and careers change, but your sporting game generally stays the same with age.

Exercising and playing together is a lifelong pursuit. How did I come up with this personal RG deduction? Well, most of my lifelong friends are the ones this RG plays sports with – golf mainly, but we try others too. My newer RG friends are fellow tennis players and yogis, both of which are my newest sports obsessions.

The competition of the sports can often dilute the competition that sometimes infiltrates RG relationships, including lifelong friendships. A little friendly competition among Resort Girls is a good thing. It keeps a Resort Girl at the top of her game as well as keeping her RG body in shape, mind healthy, and helps build lasting relationships – all of which are priceless.

Exercise is always a good thing in stressful and emotional times, as it helps with the depression and anxiety that life may bring. Not to mention it’s always a good thing to whack that little golf ball or bouncy tennis ball to get any frustrations out! Take it out on the ball, not your family or friends.

Many times, Resort Girls being on the courts and course can provide an excellent networking opportunity. Resort girls bring other RGs and often times they soon become a good professional connection or even a new BFF RG!

Let us know if many of your BFFs are also playing partners. Resort Girls who play together stay together!
