Studies have shown that girls' trips are great for your mental health. According to experts, spending time with friends boosts the production of oxytocin which is released when you're in positive social situations and will make you feel very happy. It may even lessen depression and anxiety. As if this isn't enough of a reason, additional studies also showed a positive connection between lifespan and healthy social relationships. Bottom line -- round up your girls, get someone to cover the kids and get going! MORE
