 Dear Girlfriend,
Happy Halloween Ghoul-friend! Having friends is one of the great treats in life. Spending time together, sharing our lives, helping each other through scary stuff – it’s a wickedly-wonderful thing to have friends!
So in the spirit of the holiday, we’ve shared ideas on Halloween costumes and activities for you and your ghoul-friends on Girlfriendology. And we’d love your favorite Halloween tips and tricks in the Girlfriendology community. Plus, we’re holding a ‘Falloween’ contest on our Facebook/Girlfriendology page. (Just add photos of you and your favorite female friends.) Lots of ways to celebrate this season of fall, festivals and friends!!
Because life really is better, together with your girlfriends!

Call in with your questions on how to handle this difficult situation TODAY at 11am PST/2pm EST on BlogTalkRadio.com/girlfriendology!

 Gifts for all your Girlfriends!
I love giving and receiving girlfriend gifts - don’t you? Especially gifts that will remind me of her when I wear, see or smell them. So, we’ve worked with select companies to create custom gifts just for Girlfriendology girlfriends. (And they’re all made in the USA!) Here are the first of our girlfriend gifts:
- Three amazing perfumes! Scent is a wonderful way to express ourselves. Our three Girlfriendology fragrances have been sniffed (and loved!) by women at BlogHer, BlogWorldExpo, Minneapolis and Cincinnati OH. Packaged in cute hand-stamped giftbags, we can create custom labels for party favors, bridesmaid gifts, stocking stuffers or whatever occasion. (Created in Cincinnati.)
- She Beads Style! She Beads(r) created custom beads using our Girlfriendology gerbera daisy for bracelets, rings, necklaces and more. Your girlfriends (and sisters) will love wearing these and knowing you’re thinking of them. (Made in Chicago.)
- Classic yet contemporary charms! Why not wear a sterling bangle bracelet or pendant necklace that remind you of your great girlfriends? We’re thrilled to have these custom Girlfriendology charms made for us in KY.
- Plus – more to come! Let us know what girlfriend gifts you’d love to give or receive!
If you can’t find a girlfriend gift on Girlfriendology, do some shopping on Amazon or our affiliates (great way to shop and support your favorite girlfriend site!):
SPECIAL GIRLFRIEND OFFER: Get free personalized mug or ornament THIS WEEKEND on Design-her Gals with promo code: FREE GIFT. (Through Nov. 2nd)
 Introducing one of our girlfriend finds! Meet Sarah of SWEET LIBERTINE. Sweet Libertine Mineral Cosmetics is a one-woman business run in Cincinnati, Ohio. Sarah started creating mineral makeup when she was dissatisfied with both the prices and quality of readily-available makeup. Her eyeshadows are affordable, skin-safe and just FUN! Check then out!
 Plan a trip with your BFFs with this cute little yellow suitcase on Girlfriendology.com.
 Save time and money – create your own custom greeting cards with Send Out Cards - and never even leave your laptop!

 Hey Ghoul-friend – How are you doing?
Has a phone call cheered you up or just let you know that a friend cares? Did you receive an email or tweet from a girlfriend that made you smile or LOL?
We have the honor and responsibility of making a friend’s day just by a kind word or fun conversation. Who do you need to call or meet for coffee? Who might want to come over to your house for Halloween or have someone to go to a party with?
Those are the little things that mean so much to a friend. Spend some time together and make some memories. (Maybe even take some photos for our contest!)
THANKS Girlfriend! Have a fun, friend-filled Falloween!!
