Girlfriend Gathering at Whole Foods | A Story of Healthy Food from Lisa McDaniel Brown
May 24, 2012 – 8:09 am
“High-tech tomatoes. Mysterious milk. Supersquash. Are we supposed to eat this stuff? Or is it going to eat us?” ~Annita Manning
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” ~Proverb
You know how sometimes you and a girlfriend see the exact same thing and yet describe it completely differently? We decided it would be fun to send two of our fab friends out together and have them both write about the experience. We sent Nutrition Guru LISA MCDANIEL BROWN and the ever hilarious FAUX DIET QUEEN out to a local Whole Foods grocery store to see what would happen. Not only did the Faux Diet Queen (FDQ to her friends) learn something a bit more than she ever thought she could, they had a great time (no surprise there).
Today, Lisa shares her perspective as a guru and teacher. Check back tomorrow when the Faux Diet Queen shares her perspective (as only she can).
On a recent warm and sunny Sunday afternoon I met Read More »

Girlfriend Advice on Giving a Great Gift | Food Ideas from Lynn Steinberg
April 2, 2012 – 7:16 am
A hug is a great gift – one size fits all, and it’s easy to exchange. ~ Unknown
Hugs are a wonderful gift. But sometimes it’s not enough to give a hug (well, really, its always enough to hug a girlfriend–trust us on this). Finding a gift for a gal pal can sometimes be the easiest thing in the world (after all you know each other so well!). But sometimes, finding the right gift is next to impossible.
Guest blogger LYNN STEINBERG has great ideas about finding great food gifts. Which girlfriends would Read More »

Have an #AcademyAwards Party | Invite your Girlfriends over for the #Oscars, 2012
February 25, 2012 – 7:51 pm
And the Oscar goes to … It’s Academy Awards time and we’re celebrating with our girlfriends. Are you have an Oscars party? And … Who is your Best Supporting BFF?
Actually, just because we’re giddy to share, I’m going to be in Napa on Sunday night watching the Oscars with the fab female bloggers and other women attending the Wine Sisterhood’s First Annual Wine Gathering. It’s going to be GREAT! And, I’m very happy that we’re having a girlfriend party to watch the awards. You know that is going to be FUN!
Every year I have an Academy Awards party so I couldn’t help but think about what I’d do if I were home for the Oscars. Here’s a few ideas (and hopefully inspiration!) on throwing a Girlfriend Party for the 2012 Academy Awards:

The SuperBowl of Stains?! Don’t Sweat the ‘After Party’
February 1, 2012 – 5:17 pm
As 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 »

The Faux Diet Queen | Year End Interview with Girlfriendology
January 13, 2012 – 10:25 am
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.
At the start of the new year, we thought it would be a good idea to visit with the Faux Diet Queen and see what was on her mind for 2012. So we sent our intern, let’s call her Leslie, out to meet and interview the ever-inventive FDQ. This may not have been the world’s best idea since Read More »

What’s your Niche Girlfriend? | #NAMS, Friendship & What’s to come …
August 22, 2011 – 11:33 pm
Your friends care about what you care about, right? Friends notice what you like or don’t like. Girlfriends pay attention to the special things that make you YOU.
That’s just what friends do. We pay attention to your likes and dislikes, the things you’re passionate about and the people/things in your life who make you happy. And in doing so, we get to know the little things in your life that you love, the special talents and traits, and the details that make you YOU. We notice the characteristics about you that make up who you are and can often identify opportunities for which you are well-suited.
Wikipedia defines ‘niche’ as ‘any position of opportunity for which one is well-suited, such as a particular market in business.’ It comes from Old French niche, from nichier (“make a nest”) (modern French nicher), from Latin n?dus (“nest”).
This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend a conference based on Read More »

Girlfriends Celebrate National Lasagna Day | How Do You Pasta?
July 29, 2011 – 7:42 am
Hey, Girlfriend, did you know that today is National Lasagna Day?
With a tip of my hat the world’s number one lasagna-loving cat (Garfield), and to all my pasta loving girlfriends, here are some thoughts about NLD (National Lasagna Day).
It would seem like a natural to discuss lasagna without research, but because I love all my girlfriends and want to bring you the best in lasagna information, I hit the web to see what I could learn about this wonderful Italian dish.
Here’s the best thing I found: the plural of lasagna is lasagne! I’d never even thought about having more than one lasagna before. But just to keep us all sane, I will simply Read More »

Fall Friendship Traditions – Food, Fashion, Festivals
October 7, 2010 – 11:06 am
Happy Fall Girlfriend!
Do you love Autumn? … cool nights replacing summer’s heat, open windows with great sleeping weather, toasted leaves hinting that things are changing, exchanging sandals for boots and sweaters for shorts?
I do. I can’t wait for the first opportunity to wear my standard dress in cold months – tights and boots. I welcome my favorite layers of sweaters and scarves. I crave comfort food like anything out of the crockpot. I love to walk through the woods and watch the neighborhood kids play in leaves. It’s a wonderful season to consciously feel Read More »

What does ‘balance’ mean to women and to women’s health?
Well, fortunately we have some girlfriend advice on how to find balance and specifically something we stress over – food and our relationship with it. Thanks to girlfriend TERA WARNER (who just did this BlogTalkRadio interview with us and is the co-founder of the WISH Summit – Women’s International Summit for Health.)

Let’s start by busting this myth:
You are not what you eat.
