February 3, 2012 – 10:18 am

Friendship Sommer poquetteWhen a friend loses weight, it’s natural to ask how she did it. Often we can get good tips on living a healthier life – right?

Well, girlfriend SOMMER POQUETTE shares her journey on the road to fitness with us both here and on our BlogTalkRadio show today at 2pm ET.

Wardrobe Malfunction: I am Fat and Nothing Fits

It’s a Cinch—Sort of | Diet Review from the Faux Diet Queen

February 3, 2012 – 9:41 am

weight loss fdqFrom shoe sales to secrets, we girlfriends love to share with each other. And one of the things we definitely love sharing is any secret to being healthy and fit. Thankfully we have the Faux Diet Queen to share her girlfriend advice on getting fit and losing weight.

The Faux Diet Queen (or as we affectionately call her, FDQ) has agreed to share her latest (and last) weight loss journey with us as a regular feature at Girlfriendology. We hope you’ll join us to cheer her on, nudge her back on track when she strays, and generally giggle along.

I look at each new diet as an adventure. Like Ponce de Leon, I am convinced that each plan, each regimen, each approach will bring me one step closer to being thin and looking younger. Unlike good ol’ Ponce, I’ll settle for shedding some unwanted poundage and looking my age.

So how happy was I when Read More »

The SuperBowl of Stains?! Don’t Sweat the ‘After Party’

February 1, 2012 – 5:17 pm

Friendship football superbowl military partyAs girlfriends we love to spend time together (like at SuperBowl parties!) as well as share helpful girlfriend advice. We’ve combined the two to get you ready for the potential ‘SuperBowl of Stains’ this weekend!

Our friends at Biz Stain Fighter (super supportive sponsor of Girlfriendology in 2012!) know just the right girlfriend advice for this wild weekend of Superbowl parties and stains!

The big game is just days away and I can’t wait. Let’s face it girlfriends, we love the party food (minus the calories). Buffalo chicken dip, salsa, messy wings, dogs with ketchup and mustard, along with a little wine and we’re all set for some severe staining. Hopefully it only ends up on the clothes vs. the carpet and furniture. A room full of football fans and you never know when they will erupt.

Relax and enjoy, it only happens once a year. Don’t worry about the mess. Just add Biz Stain Fighter and Mean Green Multi-purpose Cleaner & Degreaser to your shopping lists, for the “After Party.” Get them both at Read More »

Your F.I.R.E. Team–A Girlfriend’s Guide to Building a Success Support System by Rachel Luna

January 31, 2012 – 9:59 am

FIRE Team, supporting girlfriendsBeing there for each other is one of the gifts of friendship, and having a great support system is one of the great rewards. Girlfriend and guest blogger Rachel Luna shares one way of building a great support system by using a FIRE team.

In the military, accountability at the lowest level is represented by the Fire Team. In the Marine Corps, I was able to see firsthand how a Fire Team operates. No matter the task at hand, my Fire Team and I were able to successfully execute mission after mission. This is because we held one another accountable. We ventured into unsecured territory and emerged victorious because of the firepower we held collectively.

Your personal success is much like a battle. You’ve got to fight for your life, you’ve got to give it your all and push as hard as you can to come out victorious and achieve your goals and dreams. This is no easy feat all on your own. And it does require venturing into unsecured Read More »

Freedom, Girlfriends, Harleys | Perspectives by Guest Blogger Bethany Parks

January 30, 2012 – 8:37 am

breast cancer, harley davidson,motorcycleSome days being a girlfriend is easy. Other days it is much harder to be a friend–and to let others be a friend to you. Girlfriend and guest blogger Bethany Parks shares her story of friendship, motorcycles, and living with breast cancer.

She was dressed in a long sleeve black Harley T-shirt carrying a big black Harley coffee mug and her long auburn red hair was tied back in a black leather wrap.  She had mischievous green eyes and a laugh that warmed my heart. I liked her immediately. I introduced myself with something close to, “Hi. My name is Bethany. Will you be my friend?  And can you teach me to ride my bike?” Aimee did her Aimee kind of thing and smiled her brilliant smile and said, “Sure.”

The purchase of my Softtail Deluxe was probably the beginning of my mid-life revival. It was daring. It was sexy. It was a seven hundred pound statement of my freedom, gorgeous with all its chrome, white wall tires and braided leather work. My Harley. A total Read More »
