Our Amazing White Party 🤍✨

The White Party is one of my very favorite traditions and something I've been hosting for more than 10 years at my Europe Retreats .

Before arriving, each guest is simply asked to bring something white to wear. They have no idea what awaits them. Year after year, I watch them arrive dressed in white, curious and excited, never knowing what surprises are in store.

Every detail of the White Party is lovingly planned by me. From the decorations and table settings to the handmade gifts waiting for each guest, every little touch is designed to make the evening feel magical. One of my favorite parts is watching their faces as they walk in. The surprise in their eyes is absolutely priceless and never gets old.

I planned an evening to remember at the beautiful Masseria Don Sante, one of the most beautiful places in all of Puglia. Surrounded by ancient olive trees, stunning stone buildings, and the warm Italian countryside, we gathered together for a special evening I will never forget.

Together, we cooked a wonderful meal, shared stories, laughed until our cheeks hurt, and celebrated the friendships that have been built through these retreats. As I looked around the table, I felt overwhelmed with gratitude for these incredible women and the memories we continue to make together.

The White Party has always been about creating magic for others, but this year, at Masseria Don Sante, the magic was given back to me.

It was a beautiful reminder that these retreats are about so much more than art or travel. They are about connection, friendship, love, and the moments that stay in our hearts long after the suitcases are unpacked.

A truly magical evening at Masseria Don Sante. One I will treasure forever.

 A Peek Into Puglia! 

Me and my amazing friend Joy in Ostuni 

I’m recently home from an incredible three-week journey through Puglia, Italy, and I can’t even begin to tell you how deeply I fell in love with this beautiful region. From charming whitewashed villages and stunning coastlines to bustling markets, amazing food, and unforgettable friendships, Puglia truly captured my heart.

Come along as I share some of my favorite memories from this special retreat through the photos below. Each image tells a story of adventure, creativity, laughter, and the wonderful women who joined me on this unforgettable experience.

One of the most precious guests of all was Wendy. 

Wendy's mom was a longtime hair client of mine, and so was Wendy. Over the years, her mom became much more than a client—she was like a mother to me. She was a beautiful part of my life for many years, and I loved her dearly.

Wendy joined this retreat in honor of her mother, and to say it was emotional would be an understatement. We cried... a lot. We shared stories, laughed through tears, and spent hours talking about old memories and the wonderful woman we both loved so much.

One of the most touching moments was when Wendy gifted me one of her mother's treasured turquoise rings, a piece she cherished deeply. She also brought me an apron her mother wore. Those gifts mean more to me than words could ever express.

Did I mention we cried a lot?

There were so many special moments throughout the retreat, too many to count, but sharing this time with Wendy and remembering her mother together is something I will carry in my heart forever.

Some friendships, some memories, and some people leave an imprint on your soul. This was one of those moments.

If traveling, creating, and exploring beautiful places with like-minded women sounds like something you'd love, I invite you to join my mailing list on my website. My retreats often sell out very quickly, and those on my "First to Know" list always hear about new adventures before anyone else.

How do I even explain Lisa 

I met Lisa at my the very first class I ever taught in California at Jenny Doh Studio ,  She walked into that classroom as a stranger and walked out as a forever friend.

Since 2008, Lisa has been joining me on retreats, and over the years we've shared countless adventures, laughs, stories, and memories together. She is one of those rare people who is simply easy to love. Kind, genuine, thoughtful, talented, and always bringing joy wherever she goes.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this woman. She has enriched my life in more ways than she will ever know. Through all these years, she has been a constant source of friendship, encouragement, and grace.

The truth is, Lisa is everything I want to be when I grow up. 

I am so grateful that a chance meeting in a classroom all those years ago turned into one of the greatest friendships of my life

Take a Peek at my  Puglia Women's Retreat 2026 

Hello Friends!

It feels so good to be back here sharing a little piece of my world with you.

The past few months have been filled with travel, creativity, wonderful friendships, and unforgettable moments. After taking a little break from blogging, I thought there was no better way to return than by giving you a peek into one of my favorite adventures yet — our beautiful Puglia Retreat in Southern Italy.

Nestled along the Adriatic Sea, Puglia is a magical place filled with whitewashed villages, winding cobblestone streets, ancient olive groves, and some of the kindest people I've ever met. It feels like stepping into a postcard at every turn.

Our retreat days were filled with creativity, laughter, and inspiration. We gathered around tables creating beautiful art, shared delicious Italian meals, explored charming towns, and made memories that will stay with us forever.

Some of our favorite adventures included wandering the streets of Alberobello with its famous trulli houses, shopping local markets for vintage treasures, exploring seaside villages like Polignano a Mare and Monopoli, and enjoying unforgettable evenings under the Italian sky.

What I love most about these retreats isn't just the art we create — it's the friendships that are formed. Watching women from all over come together, encourage one another, and leave as lifelong friends is truly something special.

Italy has a way of slowing you down and reminding you to savor life's simple pleasures. A morning cappuccino, fresh flowers from a market, a beautiful sunset, or sharing stories around a dinner table can become some of the most treasured moments.

Thank you to every wonderful woman who joined me in Puglia this year. You made this retreat unforgettable.

And for those of you who have been following along from home, I hope these little glimpses inspire you to dream, create, and maybe even join me on a future adventure.

Stay tuned — I have so much more to share, including upcoming retreats, new online classes from Terri Brush Academy, and a few exciting surprises I've been working on behind the scenes.

Until next time...

With love,

Terri Brush
