In elementary school, I saw first-hand how mean girls can be. I had a very hard time trusting the nasty little creatures after that. In high school, I befriended the guys. They were easier to understand. If a guy is ticked-off at you he will look you in the face and say “I’m ticked off at you and this is why!” It is a beautiful thing! I have since learned that there is nothing in the world that can keep a woman healthy, relaxed and informed like a solid pack of girlfriends.
Top 10 reasons why my girlfriends are the best:
10. A really good girlfriend will laugh to you face about your weird habits and embarrassing moments. Never behind your back.
9. You can walk into a room of girlfriends and, without saying hello first, announce that you need to vent for 5 minutes before you can be social. They stop talking and let you roll with it. Pleasant conversation resumes immediately afterwards.

8. “Sasha, you need to fix that haircut”. Need I say more?
7. If you have an awkward ‘lady issue’ you can talk to a girlfriend about it.

6. They will schedule a play date with you where the two of you have at least as much fun together than the kids.
5. A girlfriend will do you the solid of yelling at your kid for throwing toys when your face is full of zucchini bread.
4. Girlfriends expand your world by exposing you to new things. Baking, books, career options, pole dance classes…
3. Some girlfriends have a knack for fashion and share their skill with us who want to look good but really don’t know how.
2. Girlfriends know not to ask you if it’s ‘that time of the month’ if you seem a little cranky. They can tell automatically from the huge zit you sprouted overnight.
1. By confessing that we are all in some way totally insecure, I have gained an incredible amount of confidence.
I may know many people, but I prefer to keep a small group of true friends by my side to help me see the variety, beauty and humour that life has to offer. You ladies know who you are. I am grateful to you for enriching my life. xox
