I was pleasantly reminded this weekend that we don’t just need to gather with our gal pals when we’re rolling in the deep. The red tent is needed as is what I liked to call the pink sparkly tent.
At Lightning In A Bottle 2010 two brilliant (and gorgeous) doctor lady friends of mine busted out a full on pink explosion of a set up (hot pink fabric all over our tent along with feathers and a glittery buddha to boot).
Girlz Tent LIB 2010
Last night, I put on high heels, curled my hair and went out to Hollywood singing in the car with my pal Cheryl to Katy Perry. To say I felt girly would be an understatement AND IT WAS SOOOOO MUCH FUN!
All Done Up & Giggles A-plenty 
Not only did we enjoy being out, feeling good and looking good but you know what put the icing on the cake for me? Getting ready together, sharing make-up tricks and being each other’s mirrors.
When I was a pre-teen I would crimp my hair at sleepovers and choreograph dance routines to the latest Janet Jackson or Paula Abdul single. As I grew into a teen, it became about boys, make-up as well as styles of music, fashion and more.
What hot tips do you remember getting from your gal pals? Do you still use them today?
Angie Ferretti taught me how to shave my legs, Rachelle McGraw taught me how to kiss a boy, Kirsten Mannweiller taught me how to put on eyeliner and Hannah Jern-Miller gave me my first tampon… I rarely think about what an impression these moments made but they soooo did.
In line with talking about relationships, great sex, Lady Gaga, kittens, good yoga teachers and what to wear, last night Cheryl and I were swapping stories on what deodorant to use…
I get this question a lot actually because I’ve been trying non-aluminum (non-anti-perspirant) stuff on the market for the past four years. I told her I’d share my favorite go-to products for pits here today.
So here’s my hot underarm tip:
Go get you some Weleda Deodorant Spray (they have a couple scent choices, I love the Rose) mixed with a salt crystal stick. You can find these at most natural grocery stores, Whole Foods market and online too. 
I wet my skin down with Weleda and rollover it with the stick which prevents bacteria from gettin’ crazy (that’s what makes body odor, did you know that?). Also, I’ve noticed that if I’m exercising and sweating my balls off regularly- I have less toxins in my system and therefore, voila! minimal underarm smell. It also helps that I’m vegetarian, I’ve noticed a difference there too. It takes a month for your body to get used to using the spray and the crystal so don’t freak out, give it some time.
Why do I use these products? I’m a fan of putting things on and in my body that are natural. Our skin absorbs what we put on it so I try to keep it simple. Plus, perspiring is the body’s natural way of releasing and I prefer to roll with that instead of blocking it. I also like smelling like me and not like baby fresh evergreen oceanic mist.
Switching up your products is a good idea too, it keeps things fresh. So I’ve also got some Tom’s of Maine tucked away in my toiletry case plus tea tree oil which is always a handy dandy product to have around (it kills bacteria and has a minty fresh tingling feeling that’s fun).
We learn so much from experience and sharing those experiences with our people.
I love getting insight into my ladies’ worlds because we become better women for it (and certainly a lot healthier, happier and damn sexier).
The gabbing and glamming is something that doesn’t EVER need to go away regardless of age.
It’s official, I’m a born-again girlz pink sparkly tent time instigator. Viva las chicas!
Big ups for bosoms and bosom buddies. :-)
Love Dem Boobies, They Are Good
