Girlfriend Advice – thank goodness!
What’s the best girlfriend advice you’ve ever received?
From the time we’re kids and dressing up with our friends, to the time we’re old and probably still dressing up with our friends … we share a lot of girlfriend advice. Make-up advice, organization advice, travel advice, shopping advice – there’s a whole ‘lotta sharing going on between girlfriends.
That’s just one of the wonderful benefits of girlfriends … we have someone who knows us, whom we trust and respect, and who only wants the best for us helping us with little and big decisions. That’s pretty cool. It’s like having a personal consultant, a wise advisor and a trusted sister – all wrapped up into one BFF!
We’re talking ‘girlfriend advice’ today – all the things that we women share with each other. From little tips to big findings, from sales to sizing, from what we should do to where we should go – we’re sharing it all with the fabulous females in our lives.
Share some girlfriend advice with us on 
(aka: Facebook!). You know things we don’t and vice versa – so if we all share, we’re all better off. Share your best girlfriend advice and be a better friend. Because life really is better together with your girlfriends!
All the cool girls are doing it …
In the land of ‘Glee,’ we’re the cool kids with the Slurpies (who don’t throw them in other people’s faces!). We’re the groovy girls who support each other, help each do our best and cheer for each other. And we’re also the FUN chicks who share comments on Girlfriendology’s online Book Club. Yep. All the cool girls are doing it!
MAY BOOK CLUB: We’re excited that author Claire Cook (the fabulous author of “Must Love Dogs“) will join us online to chat about WILDWATER WALKING CLUB, May 31st. Save the date!

The three winners of copies of next month’s Book Club book, Wildwater Walking Club (provided by author Claire Cook!) are: BRENDA S, HOLLEE C and LORI P. Whoo hoo!

* Female friendship in ‘The Help’ – our Book Club book: The April Girlfriendology Book Club book was “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett. It is set in the deep south in the turbulent 1960’s. The book is written in the voices of the three main characters: Miss Skeeter – a 23-year old, recent college graduate who has dreams of being a writer and also just wants to be accepted and loved. Aibileen is a maid who raises white children to feel important and loved, and suffered a broken heart when her beloved son died at a young age. Milly is also a maid – with an attitude. She’s been … Read More »
* Who inspires you? Cheryl collects left-over bread from a bagel store and re-packages it for a homeless shelter. Jennifer employs women in South Africa to create jewelry, sells it and then returns the profits to their community and AIDS Hospice.

How’d you do? Did you give yourself a little breathing room? Some time for yourself? Take it a little easier on you? Great girlfriend advice – but we have to follow that advice for it to matter!
Girlfriends are here to remind us of great girlfriend advice, like just some of the advice you offered on our Facebook page:
- Madelyn: Don’t ever let your relationships with your girlfriends lapse!!
- Kim: Never EVER Give Up! Follow that burning desire in your belly to make this dream a reality – we believe in you!
- Chris: Look for the positive side. No matter what, it’s always there.
- Merri: To have fun now! You only live once!
- Margee: You are what you think you are!
- Amy: If in doubt, don’t! (From yours-truly a LONG time ago! Who knew I was so wise?!)
Thanks girlfriends for your great advice and for being there for your friends.
