August 1st marked a day that might be little known to some, but that should be richly celebrated by many. The special day in question was National Girlfriends Day. Yes, there is actually a holiday to celebrate the rich and rewarding benefits that come from having girlfriends in one’s life. The term girlfriend refers to relationships between women. Another trendy and modern term for this would be “BFFs”, or best friends forever. There are many reasons to celebrate your girlfriends. First, it’s great to know that someone in the world has your back! Nobody gets a woman like another woman. Your girlfriend is your first point of contact , for example, when you experience the joy of meeting that potential new dude in your life. You know, the one you met at the grocery store, the gym, or walking in the mall being your fine self!. Who is the one that you call when you have the world’s most awesome date? Who picks up your spirits when you have the world’s worst date ever, and you scream that you’ll never date again? It’s your girl, or your gang of chicas of course! So, just how do you celebrate your special friend girl, or friend girls? Lots of women have mini-celebrations that include dinners, or pints of ice cream around the table. Or, you might plan a girl’s night out on the town, looking like a pack of supermodels, and comparing notes as to which lucky guy gets your number. If you need inspiration, watch any episode of Sex and The City. You’ll quickly see many examples of the girls celebrating each other, and having their pick and choose of gorgeous, or not so gorgeous men. Even when the guys were the biggest losers, the girls still had a great time, because they were with each other. They were the party at the party! Although the actual holiday has passed, why not keep the party going? Make every month, heck, make every weekend a Girlfriend’s Day! Another great thing about women is that they are super creative, so use that creative, warm, and fuzzy energy to think of ways to celebrate the women in your life that build you up, and melt your heart. Get on the phone, that blog, get those emails out! Dust off your sexy heels, and those sexy jeans that make grown men cry. Get your girls together, and compare notes later about shutting down your local hang out, and giving the guys whiplash!
