Rae and I have been friends for six years, quickly going from neighbors to full-blown BFFs. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding, and she has been by my side through many a crashed crush; she convinced me to run a half-marathon, and I convinced her to get bangs. I didn't really think we could get any closer, but taking a weekend away together gave us a chance to get to know more about each other, helped us strengthen our bond, and reminded us both how lucky we are to have each other. Whether you and your BFF take a two-day road trip or jet off to another country for a couple of weeks, it's so necessary to find time for each other in the same ways you would for your significant other: I'm talking candlelit dinners, bike rides, fine wine, and the fluffiest white terry cloth robes you can find.
