Girlfriend We Gotta Talk

Celebrate Living Small

We thought we’d never say “celebrate living small” because we are usually trying to live as big as possible!

But, when we learned that Genevieve Ferraro can entertain 30 people for a sit down dinner and cook the meal in an 8 by 8 foot kitchen, we had to find out how.  (Can you imagine?)

She’s our guest on our latest “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!” radio show.  As the creator of The Jewel Box Home Genevieve guides people on how to successfully decorate, entertain, and live in a small home.

What’s a Jewel Box Home?  Well, it’s NOT a separate house dedicated to storing all your precious jewels, we can tell you that! 

It’s a smaller home – between 900 and 2300 square feet – and it’s becoming very popular due to downsizing, energy efficiency, and simpler living. 

Bunny Slippers & More!

Who knew that when Lisa Hammond founded her mail order catalog Femail Creations over 10 years ago that one of her personal favorite items – bunny slippers – would be one of the most popular! 

We’re not totally surprised because she’s gathered together so many items for and by women that are cute, cute, cute … and funny, funny, funny!  (When we look through her catalog we always howl.)

On our latest “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!” radio show, We learned how Lisa got the wild hair to start Femail Creations, why she’s known as The Barefoot CEO and how she’s supporting dozens of US women’s businesses with tons of new items in her 2009 fall catalog. (Yeah, Lisa!)

How to Talk to Anyone about Anything

Do you ever feel awkward or uncomfortable meeting new people?

Or, maybe you get stuck talking to one person and can’t figure out how to end the conversation?

We’ve all been there and on our latest “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!” radio show, Jill Spiegel gave us some simple, but powerful tips on how to deal with these situations and more.

Jill is the great, great granddaughter of Joseph Spiegel (you know, who started the famous catalog) and author of “How to Talk to Anyone about Anything:  The Secrets to Connecting.”  She’s a powerhouse of energy and ideas!

We know many girlfriends are in situations everyday where it’s important to meet people and leave a positive feeling – like looking for a new job, going to networking meetings, or simply finding a new plumber!  Jill will help us make even easier and more enjoyable.

What Your Fingerprints Reveal

Ronelle Coburn was right.  It really was all there at our fingertips!

On the latest “Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!” radio show, Master Hand Analyst Ronelle Coburn, decoded each of our finger and handprints.  It was amazing how accurate she was about us and what we’re trying to do in the world – without knowing anything about us other than being radio show co-hosts!

What she revealed was not about the future, as in palm reading. 

Hand analyst is about understanding who you are and who you want to be.  Your unique finger and handprints give you a clear picture of your most meaningful life and what you need to do to move towards it.

Ronelle is certified by the International Institute of Hand Analysis, has analyzed the finger and handprints of 10,000 people in the last 13 years, and is the author of “Destiny at Your Fingertips:  Discover the Inner Purpose of Your Life and What it Takes to Live it”

Still, seeing is believing.  Or, in our case, listening it believing.

Don’t take our word for it.  Listen to the show and you decide.

While listening, you'll hear the funny story about how we made our finger and handprint pages at Barrel Thief on Patterson Ave in Richmond, VA.  Here's a photo.  It was a hoot!
