Every single one of us women needs other women, and we need Read More »
Woman does not live by coffee alone. Have a danish. ~ Unknown
As usual, The Faux Diet Queen is thinking about food. This week the FDQ (as we affectionately call her) is talking about coffee.We’re not sure why she’s talking about coffee (we can only guess she hasn’t been getting enough sleep…).
Whatever her reasons for picking this particular topic, we hope you’ll join us for a cup of coffee, or tea, or water, or just for a visit as we follow her commentary about coffee and friendship.
There are two kinds of food—food you need and food you want. It’s the difference between broccoli and chocolate (bad example—I need both of those).
More specifically, there are two kinds of coffee—the coffee you need and the coffee you Read More »
Adventure is what happens when you just did something stupid. ~Professor Bernie
As girlfriends, we’re somewhat ‘charged’ with making sure our friends know how awesome (and beautiful!) they are, as well as maintain that they actually do go after their dreams. Sometimes that also means that we sometimes we have to allow each other the space to be silly or make a fool of ourselves.

Guest bloggerRUTH KAISER knows something about being silly and even embarrassed. And she shares her girlfriend advice on seeing the ’smiley’ side of life for herself and her friends … (Thanks Ruth for sharing your

Sometimes part of being a really good friend is telling a girlfriend something she might not want to hear.
Girlfriend and guest bloggerMARINA SBOROCHI shares advice for saying (and receiving) difficult news. She uses the example of a boyfriend who might not be a good match, but the idea is the same–uncomfortable news should be shared (and heard) carefully and with lots of girlfriend love.

When was the last time you had the beautiful opportunity to share an experience through someone elses eyes? Maybe it was with a child or maybe it was with a girlfriend as she experienced something brand new.
Sharing great experiences with friends makes us feel younger, more alive, and strengthens the bonds of already tightly cemented friendships. Girlfriend Guru and Guest bloggerJESSICA DRUMMOND shares her thoughts on being inspired by adventure.
My 8-year old daughter absolutely loves Manhattan aka “The City.” We took the train in on Saturday with one of her many little BFF’s and her BFF’s mom to see a children’s improv show by The Story Pirates. (Side note: If you are ever in NYC with kids, see this show. It is incredible.)
NYC is a high-energy city. The creativity (and the traffic) abounds. Some people find it hectic, overwhelming or crowded, but these little girls drank in the energy of the streets like Red Bull. They were completely Read More »

Valentine’s Day is like the lovers’ Superbowl: complete with commercials, product endorsements, and the notion that you will miss out on a big day if you don’t participate. For so many women, Valentine’s Day can be intense because of the unrealistic expectations and Read More »
