National Girlfriends Day: The Best Friendships Never Go Out of Style

National Girlfriends Day: Cheers To The Women Who Know Too Much

Let's be honest...

Your best girlfriends know things about you that should probably never appear in writing.

 

Because Girlfriends Know:

  • Your coffee order.
  • Your ex's name (and why he's still an idiot).
  • Which restaurant you'll always suggest.
  • How long you'll actually stay mad.
  • The real story behind "I'm fine."

 

Because Girlfriends Will:

  • Tell you when you have lipstick on your teeth.
  • Convince you that buying those shoes was or handbag absolutely the right decision.
  • Talk you out of texting someone... or hand you the phone anyway.
  • Laugh at you, with you, and occasionally because of you.
  • Celebrate your successes as if they were their own.

And somehow, after all these years, they still answer your calls.

 

National Girlfriends Day isn't about expensive gifts or elaborate plans. It's about celebrating the women who've helped write your life's best stories—even if some of those stories should remain permanently off the record.

 

So today...


📱 Send a text to a friend you've been meaning to call.

☕ Grab the coffee.

🍰 Split the dessert.

😂 Laugh until people at the next table stare. 

🥗 Plan that lunch you've been talking about for six months.

🧳 Book the girls' weekend you've all been threatening to take for years.

💕 Or simply tell someone, "I'm really glad you're my friend."

 

Because life is simply more entertaining with great girlfriends. And because  the older we get, the more we realize that some of life's greatest treasures aren't things at all—they're the people who have walked beside us through every chapter.

 

Every women needs girlfriends

 

Happy National Girlfriends Day to the women who know all your secrets... and haven't written a tell-all book yet. 💕

And Happy National Girlfriends Day to my Active Rain Girlfriends. You know who you are! 💕

Not knowing that today is National Girlfriends Day, I made a comment on a group text with my 5 besties that I can't imagine doing this life without them...just last night!!! That is crazy! I will have to share this with them today. Thanks for the reminder, Nina!

Nina, happy friends day to my friend!  I have been chatting with two of my besties on whatsapp at least once a week, which is so nice!

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner Happy Girlfriends Day to you, Joan! I remember feeling very isolated when I lived overseas because back then we didn't have the ability to communicate easily and at no or low cost that we have today. And when we moved to Abud Dhabi, I lived in a house without any telephone service for at least a month.

Nina Hollander, Broker without the free phone service we have today, I can only imagine how isolated you felt.   I have made some friends in my building, but I don't go knocking on their doors.   Some of the restaurant owners know me now too, as I do enjoy eating out.

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner I was lucky that the phone bill was covered by Chris' company because overseas calls were crazy expensive. But those costs made it hard for people to initiate a call to me.

Nina Hollander, Broker I remember some of my phone bills being around $500/month, and that was only for local calls.  Can just imagine what international calls would have been.

I did not know this national day as I don't know most. However this evening going to a concert with a girlfriend who started out as a client and now is a neighbor.

Leanne Smith hi Leanne... so many different ways to find a friend, make a friend. Enjoy the concert.

The concert was quite good. The band was called "Oh What a Night" and sang Franki Vali and the Four Seasons originally named the "Four Lovers"

Nina, the best friendships are built on years of shared stories, honest advice, laughter, and simply being there when it matters. This was a fun reminder to reach out, make the lunch plans, and tell the women who have walked beside us how much their friendship means.

Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 hi Gwen... friends are so important and as we get older and lose some of them we begin to realize just how important they are.

Nina, my wife has been best friend with her best friend for about 60 years.  In fact they are more than best friends they are almost like sisters.

Nina Hollander, Broker

George Souto hi George... best friends like that are often more like sisters than actual blood sisters. Your wife is very fortunate to have a girlfriend like that for so many years.

Hmm, I think a lot of ladies will use this as a good excuse to get together with their friends.  I remember seeing and hearing about the fun adventures that Dorie Dillard Austin TX and her friends have, haha.

Brian England good morning, Brian... at the end of the day, we ladies don't need an excuse to get together and have fun! :))))
