Girlfriend Advice Money Finance Savings“If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can’t buy.” Proverb

April 9, 2012 – 8:35 am

Girlfriend Guru public relations fashion fitness friendship luxury entertainingA sense of humor is a major defense against minor troubles. – Mignon McLaughlin

There are some days when everything seems to flow easily. There are other days when the sound of the stapler can be enough to send us over the edge. Sometimes we experience both on the same day!

It can be awfully difficult to pull back from wanting to scream at someone just for breathing or from wanting to break a stapler just because it’s doing it’s job. Girlfriend Guru DONINA IFURUNG reminds us that humor is a great way to diffuse tension, regain perspective, and make it through the moment.

For those of who don’t know, April is National Humor Month.

To commemorate National Humor Month, I won’t play an April Fool’s joke, but I will Read More »

playground artist guru love letters, prayerA friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.  ~Donna Roberts

Have you ever noticed that sometimes our girlfriends remind us who we really are? Recently, I have had this happen three times (always in threes, right?). Fabulous friends have been around to remind me of some of the good things I’d forgotten about myself.

Girlfriend Guru (and fabulous artist) RACHEL AWES reminds us in word and art that we have so much to offer the world. Thank heavens we have friends who–on those days when our feet feel permanently stuck in the mud–can remind us we have wings for flying high.

I recently met my treasured friend, Liv, for breakfast.

Get Paid to Purge Your Closet | Spring Cleaning Advice from Guru Donna Gamache

March 29, 2012 – 7:44 am

Makeover before and after, 30 day appearance challenge“Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.” — Yves Saint-Laurent

“The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.”
~Robert Harling, Steel Magnolias

One of us, but we’re not naming names, spent 20 minutes this morning trying to find a certain pair of sandals. The abrupt switch from winter-ish weather to summer-ish weather caught us, our closet, and our shoe collection somewhat off-guard.

Style Girlfriend Guru DONNA GAMACHE reminds us that moving into spring is a wonderful opportunity to change out our closets and — dare we say it? — get rid of some things to make room for the fabulous new Spring trends.

Spring is here and it’s time to switch from winter clothes to spring clothes in our closets. What better time to really examine what is in your closet before putting it away or putting it in your closet?

What items do you have in your closet or in storage that really should be purged? Getting rid of the things that don’t fit, the pieces you are just tired of, and Read More »

Girlfriend Birthday Ritual | Celebration Ideas from Girlfriend Guru Lisa Sarik

March 28, 2012 – 7:27 am

Spirituality Girlfriend GuruA birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun.  Enjoy the trip.  ~Unknown

We all have different rituals at different times in our lives. For some of us, it might have been a ritual on the first day of school (new shoes, new lunchbox, new pencils). For the athletes among us, it might have been a pre-game ritual (without which we were sure we would not compete as well). For others of us, it might have been a special friendship greeting we shared with our BFF.

As we’ve grown up, different rituals have taken center stage. For us, we love having meetings over a cup of coffee. Even if we don’t have coffee to drink, it’s the getting together and catching up that are important. Girlfriend Guru LISA SARICK reminds us that birthdays are another great time to Read More »

lingerie expert underwear bra swimwear“Friends are like Bras: Close to your heart and there for support.”

We’ve all heard the statistic: some huge percentage of us are wear bras that don’t fit properly. Another huge percentage of us are wear bras that have seen better days.

The fabulous Girlfriend Guru MISS KITTY PLUM reminds us that even though people don’t (generally) see our bra, wearing a properly fitting bra makes a huge difference in how we look and how our clothes fit.

The sun has finally made a welcome appearance, streaming through the windows at Plums Lingerie.
