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 »

Appeteazers—Ideas for a Girlfriend ‘Tizer Teaser Party

June 24, 2011 – 5:25 am

Are you ready for some fabulous appetizer ideas, girlfriend?

Girlfriendology.com’s founder and I were talking a while ago. “Why don’t you write a blog about Spring Party Ideas for girlfriends?” she said. As usual with Debba, it sounded like a good idea, so I wrote and she published the post. Which you should read if you haven’t already. (:

GUESS WHAT!!!?!! People left comments. I can’t begin to tell you how exciting that is for me! (HINT: keep the comments coming!) ProfessionGal even asked for some ideas for the ‘Tizer Teaser party she’s planning for her friends in Houston.

Now, as flattering as this is, it is also crazy funny, because under no circumstances would anyone consider me a whiz in the kitchen. In fact, I have more than a few funny stories about kitchen disasters Read More »

GNO, Girlfriend Get-togethers, Laughter and maybe some Wine!

January 18, 2008 – 10:45 am

When visiting Minneapolis recently I had dinner with my friends Amy and Kate and two of Amy’s girlfriends. Over soups and wine to thaw our chilly bodies, were conversations, laughter, sharing and caring – the kind that warm your soul and remind me how special female friendship is to me. It was a fun, low-key evening where, I believe, everyone left feeling wrapped in ‘girlfriendship.’

The current Girlfriendology Contest is about Girl’s Night Out (GNO), Girlfriend Events (birthdays, showers, celebrations) or just Girlfriend Get-togethers. It doesn’t have to be a formal event with invitations, special attire or limos. Getting together with girlfriends can be casual or dressy, festive or reflective, lots of friends together or just two girlfriends catching up on life. What matters is that time is spent together, that friendships are grown and we can be ourselves with women who love us for who we truly are.

What is your favorite GNO or girlfriends event? Was it a special birthday or dinner in the home of a girlfriend? Was it just coffee together or a much needed walk-talk? I’d love to share your ideas, stories, amusing tales – from recent events or even times growing up when you spent quality time with your best girlfriends and how those memories make you happy. Share – you’ll inspire others. (And, join the contest and win Starbucks gift cards so you can take your girlfriend out for coffee on Girlfriendology!) Have fun girlfriends!
