10 Great Girlfriend Blogs

February 15, 2009 – 2:56 pm

Friends at Columbia University.

What’s your favorite girlfriend blog?

No, the subject doesn’t have to be about ‘female friendship,’ like here at Girlfriendology, but what blogs would you recommend to your girlfriends?

I attended the New Media Cincinnati meet-up yesterday (a fun, growing group formed by my friend Daniel Johnson Jr.) and had the wonderful opportunity to get to know some local women bloggers much better. In fact, I’d highly recommend them and their blogs – they’re passionate and knowledgeable about social media and their blogs/businesses. So I wanted to introduce them.

Add to that my recent trip to Blissdom (a conference last weekend in Nashville for women bloggers). I met and heard so many wonderful women bloggers that I wanted to share more of these. So, please add your blogs and other women’s blogs to this list of ‘girlfriend approved blogs and businesses‘:

  1. Supernatural Botanicals – Girlfriend Robin has the best girlfriend gift products! Her soaps and scrubs are all hand-made and amazing! I LOVE her almond walnut scrub – LOVE IT! Every time I use it, it makes me happy!
  2. BuzZen – How’d you like to get your life buzzen? Or your business? Or just your mojo? Get to know our girlfriend Jody on BuzZen – the women’s version of the Law of Attraction.Plus Jody has a weekly BlogTalkRadio show for women – listen in!
  3. Spa around the world – Girlfriend Candy is a spa specialist! She works with spas and spa products to realize their utopia. And, she’s passionate about it. Check out her spa blog. It will calm and inspire you!
  4. EverythingnOrder – Want to be organized from the inside out? Visit girlfriend Carole for her fun adventure in self-discovery, social media insights and girlfriend advice on how to align your spirit and self.
  5. Congruity Career – I just met Julie, of Congruity Career Consulting, and we instantly hit it off! (Perhaps it was our common addiction to “The Office” show or our passionate lifestyles or we just were girlfriends who were meant to meet!) She speaks, trains and coaches to help women and men on reaching their potential. And, isn’t that what we want for ourselves and our girlfriends?
  6. Nickels-n-Dimes – New girlfriend Becky and I just connected. She has a great blog for women who want to watch their nickels ‘n dimes (and who doesn’t want to do that, right?!). She’s also going to feature Girlfriendology on her site soon with a give-away – so check our Nickels-n-Dimes!
  7. Sugar Jones – Just a fun, funny, fabulous female blogger I met at Blissdom. She has a daily BlogTalkRadio show and a cool blog.
  8. Holley Gerth – Isn’t it fun when a simple conversation with a stranger turns into a connection that changes your life? I met Holley at Blissdom and discovered that she share a lot in common – especially our appreciation of girlfriends and our faith in God. Holley has a new book out, Rain on Me, which is devotionals for women (and men) going through storms in our life. I highly recommend it as a great gift for you or a girlfriend who is dealing with ’stuff.’
  9. Art Slam – My girlfriend and Blissdom/BlogHer roommate, Lucrecer is creative and inspiring! She’s a professional photographer, a top scrapbook designer and a talented graphic designer. Her passion, as you’ll see at Art Slam, is to inspire you to get creative and to allow yourself the freedom to express yourself. That’s great girlfriend inspiration!
  10. Cooking with Caitlin - A recent guest on our podcast, the trio of girlfriends/sisters at Cooking With Caitlin are infusing folks online and offline with their culinary creativity. Visit for some mouth watering ideas and videos!

So girlfriends – what online blogs and businesses would you recommend to your girlfriends? What great women online are inspiring, amusing, enlightening and exciting you? (so much you’d tell your girlfriends!)

The Dream Lives on!

May 14, 2007 – 4:32 pm

Wow, to look back at my first blog over a year ago confirmed time does really fly! I haven’t been just having fun (as we girls like to do!), I’ve been preparing to launch www.girlfriendology.com and working on new items for www.cafepress.com/girlfriend-gifts. But I’m back and committed to pursuing my dream of inspiring, appreciating and celebrating girlfriends.

What’s the latest? Well, the web site is in the design process. The newsletter is being built with the same design (so hopefully that will start going out in the coming month). And I am designing products for www.cafepress.com/girlfriend-gifts. (Actually I’m going to the National Stationery Show this weekend to see what great girlfriend gifts I can find so Girlfriendology has the best ’stuff! I’ll report back what I find in NYC.)

What else has happened in the past year? Well, I’ve shared my dream with dozens of my girlfriends (I am so blessed with great girlfriends!) and they’ve shared their ideas with me, which has been awesome! I’ve also found out some really amazing facts and stories about why female friendships are so important to have, maintain and appreciate. I’ll share this in coming blogs.

Do you have great girlfriends? Would you like to? Join me in this journey to create and keep the friendships that make us feel special and to be that special friend to a girlfriend who brightens her life. (And … no calories, no hefty Visa bill from shopping therapy, no men who don’t understand why we need shoes and chocolate! Just women recognizing the wonderful blessing of female friends.) Thanks for the gift of your friendship!
