May 4, 2012 – 7:01 am

Friendship isn’t a big thing — it’s a million little things. – Unknown

You probably have the type of life where you have plenty of time for all the things you want to do, right? Yes, we’re rolling on the floor laughing at that idea too!

We would all love to have more time in our busy lives. Sometimes it’s hard to make time for our oh so important girlfriends, isn’t it?

Having a close girlfriend is a great thing, but—let’s face it—no matter how much we want to Read More »

Five Ideas for Girls’ Night Out | Girlfriend Advice from Mary Edwards

February 11, 2012 – 2:34 pm

Have you ever woken up one morning and realized you haven’t seen your best girlfriends in a while? That getting together with those wonderful women who are always there for you has somehow slipped off the crazy-busy to-do list?

Guest blogger MARY EDWARDS reminds us how important girls’ nights outs (aka: GNO’s!) are and gives some great ideas for getting all those fab females together.

You have a group of girls that you adore and in return adore you. They are the ones that make your long work week seem minor and your relationship frustrations seem trivial. Your girls are your comedic relief and support system for your life; therefore, a girls’ night is needed and needed often. Try to have girls’ night once every two weeks. Send out a text or an email and throw Read More »

Put Yourself First (at Least Sometimes) | Advice from Guru Lisa Brown

February 7, 2012 – 5:36 pm

Most of us have a long list of people, pets, places, and projects we put before our own needs. Sometimes, I think it’s amazing we even get around to brushing our teeth each day after we do so much for everyone else!

Girlfriend guru Lisa McDaniel Brown asks (and answers) the timeless question of how to take some time for yourself (and why it’s so important).

Here’s a simple question — What have you done for yourself lately? Like, today. Or even this week.

Go ahead and think about it. We’ll wait. (Whistle, whistle, whistle.)

Isn’t it time to put yourself first?

For several years I produced and managed women’s health conferences across the country. While doing this I learned that the “pyramid Read More »

February 17, 2011 – 3:47 pm

What do you do when GNO (Girl’s Night Out) isn’t really in your budget? You take girlfriend advice from our financial friend – Kelley Long!

Girlfriend advice, aka ‘women’s wisdom’ is one of the many benefits to having female friendship. Where would we be without the amazing supportive and generous sharing from girlfriends who know things that we don’t? We have a wonderful opportunity to learn from women who are experts in areas where we lack.

This is especially true for me (the lacking part!) with this week’s BlogTalkRadio.com/Girlfriendology guest: KELLEY LONG. Kelley is a financial consultant who understands all the things (like Read More »
