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).

February 11, 2010 – 5:28 pm
I love my girlfriends. No doubt about it!
I love my husband and my pets (and obviously love any opportunity to show them off in cute photos!). I love my family, my friends, my country, my street and my great neighbors.

Following is some great girlfriend advice that you (or a friend) may just need to hear. We’re thrilled to interview author and self-love guru CHRISTINE ARYLO Read More »
