Valentine’s Day | Non-fattening Ideas from the Faux Diet Queen
February 10, 2012 – 7:21 pm
Does it seem to you that Valentine’s Day requires candy and flowers? Our own Faux Diet Queen shares her fun ideas for girlfriend gifts (and her own unique view of holiday chocolate).
The Faux Diet Queen (or as we affectionately call her, FDQ) has agreed to share her latest (and last) weight loss journey with us as a regular feature at Girlfriendology. We hope you’ll join us to cheer her on, nudge her back on track when she strays, and generally giggle along.
Sometimes it seems we go from holiday to holiday without a break in between. We go from back to school (yes, that’s a holiday) to Halloween to Christmas to New Year’s to Valentine’s Day. And the key ingredient for a holiday is (you guessed it) food.
Delicious food.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day. Each year, some of us look forward to February 14th; and some of us dread the hearts and flowers and candy and romantic dinner conversations that seem to be everywhere.
Girlfriend Guru and single gal DONINA IFURUNG has gone from trepidation and anxiety over Valentine’s Day to turning it into a delight for herself and her friends. Today, she shares her tips for embracing the day.
Valentine’s Day is like the lovers’ Superbowl: complete with commercials, product endorsements, and the notion that you will miss out on a big day if you don’t participate. For so many women, Valentine’s Day can be intense because of the unrealistic expectations and Read More »

It’s almost that day – Valentine’s, when we’re all ’supposed’ to be with a special someone who LOVES us.

#Valentines Day Love Letter to my Girlfriends | Celebrate Friendship
February 14, 2011 – 4:29 pm
Is Valentine’s Day only for ‘lovers’? Can’t ‘friends’ celebrate too?
Of course, you already know what our answer is, right? We’re totally endorsing the ‘Valentine’s Day is about love, and love is about friends‘ party! (In fact, any party amongst friends is okay in our book!)
In fact, just thinking about the love shared among girlfriends humbles and inspires me. Like …
- A friend whose husband recently passed away. Her neighbor girlfriend invited her to join her and her husband for Valentine’s Day.
- My girlfriends who are meeting together for Read More »

#Valentines Day ‘Love’ for our Sponsors & Advertisers like Biz!
February 14, 2011 – 12:59 pm
It’s Valentine’s Day. When better to express our LOVE our sponsors and advertisers like Biz, Kroger, Healthy Choice, Frito-Lay, International Delight, The UPS store, Orville Redenbacher, etc.!
Our mission at Girlfriendology is to inspire women – to connect, support each other, be a better friend and appreciate the amazing women who bless our lives.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a general grant or and venture capital funding (that we know of!) for just spreading inspiration, appreciation and celebration for female friendship. So, we depend on sponsors and advertisers to partner with us to promote female friendship. We LOVE working with brands that meet our standard of being ‘girlfriend recommended.’
We’re thrilled to have Read More »

The Super Bowl of Friendship – We all Win!
February 1, 2011 – 12:41 am
Packers vs. Steelers. NFC vs. AFC. Football vs. the Puppy Bowl.
Not everyone can win, right? That’s what makes it a game (or a challenge over the remote control, because those puppies are dang cute!). But in the world of women friends, we’re all winners when we connect, share fun times together and even gather under the excuse of snacking on chili-cheese dip, meat-lovers pizza and our favorite beverage.
It’s Super Bowl week here at Girlfriendology (and all over the world!) and we’re looking at celebrating friendship with the same degree of applause and cheering! (Without the spendy commercials, tons of testosterone and all that grunting!)
Would your BFF win the Super Bowl of Friendship? Would you?
Each of us can strive to be a better friend - it’s a Read More »
