I {LOVE}...

...my girlfriends. Period. Piggybacking on the whole idea of giving the gift of time, women need girl time. Time spent with girlfriends venting their life's highs and lows. Now I know finding time is easier said then done but if you're looking for a good excuse to get the girl's you love together, I suggest hosting a fun evening doing the following:

1) Accessory Swap: A spin-off of a clothing swap but with just accessories. If you and your girlfriends are all about the same size in clothes, you can do both but if you're all over the board, I suggest just doing purses, jewelry, belts and scarves. You can opt to have rules or not. I suggest to keep it fair that if you bring three items, you only get to take three items. They don't have to be like for like though. At the end of the night, you'll go home with fun, new accessories for FREE!!!

2) Favorites Party: I LOVE this idea! Invite an intimate group of your favorite girls over and have each one of them bring their favorite thing that is under $5.00. It can be a favorite candle. Favorite cleaning product. Favorite candy bar. Simple gifts that you particularly love. At the end of the night, each girl will go home with a handful of new favorite things!

3) Spray Tan Party: This one is for the very close group of girls. Yes you may see a little more leg but for the modest girls, have no fear - you'll be hidden. Negotiate a discount with a gal that runs a mobile spray tan business and get your tan on. At the end of the night, each girl will leave with a golden glow and a night of memories!

4) Wine Tasting Party: This is such a fun (and tipsy) idea. Have each girl bring a bottle of wine that is under $10 and one that is between $10-$20. Then have each girl do a blind taste test. It's always fun to see who can tell the difference between the different priced wines. At the end of the night, you'll know more about wine and wake up the next day with a pounding headache!

So there you go - my girly time party suggestions! Wondering about food? Save yourself the stress and just serve desserts. Women, laughter and sweets go hand in hand!

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...

CHICKEN NUGGETS anyone??

If this doesn't stop you from going through the drive thru - then we have quite a bit of work to do! "Mechanically Separated Chicken" is the actual name for this pink paste that looks nothing like chicken. Eventually this pink paste will be shaped into little boots, fried and placed in Happy Meals around the world!
