What have YOU been doing for the past six years? | Six Years of Girlfriendology

January 23, 2012 – 11:40 pm

Friendship 6 years of GirlfriendologyHappy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday Girlfriendology! Happy Birthday to us!

Six years ago, on January 20th, 2006, Girlfriendology.com was ‘born.’ It started from a response to two girlfriends, Dana and Allison, dealing with cancer, as well as just a need to be around female friends. A little research confirmed – there’s a reason we NEED girlfriends! Female friendship actually makes women healthier, happier, less stressed, live longer and feel more beautiful.

So, I started blogging about female friendship. I was inspired by the amazing women who shared their stories about their girlfriends, who confirmed that our female friendship keep us afloat when we think we’re drowning. Women shared their lives and how their girlfriends had been there for them when they so needed it. We all know that feeling!

Thanks to the women who have helped us grow our online community of women to over Read More »

7 Healthy Ways to Be a Better Friend | New Year’s Resolutions

January 21, 2012 – 11:06 am

Friendship Wordless Wednesday Christina Girlfriends fitness friendsWe want our girlfriends to be healthy and in our lives for a long time, right? Well, why not get healthier with a friend or a bunch of BFFs? It’s much more fun and likely to be successful. Here’s how:

  • Take a walk with a Girlfriend(s) – Nothing like a few blocks, trails or miles to catch up on our lives and reduce our stress with a little ‘girlfriend therapy.’ Plus, it doesn’t seem like exercise when we’re laughing and sharing stories and time with our favorite walking buddies. Set a regular walking time like every Saturday morning or Tuesday after work. Then schedule anything else around that time. Make exercising, and your friendships, a priority. You’ll be glad (and healthier) you did!
  • Resolve to be Healthier with a Friend – Girlfriends who make resolutions together (like to get healthy/fit) are more successful than when we try to go it alone. Join up with a girlfriend to challenge each other to set and reach your fitness goals. Accountability with a Read More »

friendship girlfriends gay bingoWhat’s our prediction for 2012? How do we KNOW it’s gonna be a GREAT year?

We can show others what it means to be supportive, inspiring and thoughtful. We can model to our children and all the ‘grown children’ in our world what it looks like to share the spotlight, to recognize the people who bless our lives and to practice ‘girlfriend gratitude’ and appreciate the wonderful women in our life.

That’s what we have the opportunity to do. That’s how powerful we are. That’s why 2012 is going to be great!

She looks fine. She smiles. She seems happy. But inside, she is suffering.

Maybe she has diabetes, fibromyalgia, asthma, arthritis, depression, or any one of the diseases you may not even know your girlfriend has because there aren’t outward signs. How can you support her if you really don’t know what she’s dealing with?
