It’s never a bad day to get in some self-care with your friends. Cookie Johnson’s birthday was more than a month ago. Her husband, Magic Johnson was the typical romantic on her 65th birthday too. However, she gathered her gang for a girls trip with a lot of pampering. A fun weekend getaway like this wouldn’t be complete without the Instagram proof either. Cookie shared a series of photographs from her relaxing time with her friends at Pelican Hill Spa in California.

This weekend I had an amazing belated birthday with my girls at the Pelican Hill Spa. We enjoyed a day of pampering and a delicious lunch. So glad I was able to see everybody and I want to give a big thanks to Gina, Eula, and Tonya for putting this all together. We had such a fun time!” wrote Magic Johnson’s wife. The Lakers legend’s original ride-or-die celebrates her birthday on January 20. She may have waited for spring to head to make a birthday trip out of it at the place in Newport Beach. The resort is a favorite of the Johnsons who have frequented it in the past.
