Indulge Yourself With Beauty and Skin Care
DID YOU KNOW...
...to reduce puffiness around the eyes you can massage a few drops of castor oil into the skin?
...for softer, shinier hair you can add 2 tablespoons each of honey and olive oil to your conditioner?
...for a luxurious, hydrating treatment for the hands, while doing the dishes cover your hands with a thick layer of lotion and wear latex cleaning gloves? The end result: soft, moisturized hands!
At Girly Home Webzine® we are passionate about beauty and wellness! In this section we share articles on skin and hair care as well as other beauty treatments, including easy and affordable Home Spa Treatment Recipes that are fun to make, delightful to use, and soothing to the senses. Pamper yourself silly without leaving the house, using our home beauty regimens that will make you feel like a million bucks!
So busy taking care of everyone else we often forget to treat ourselves. In Beauty and Skin Care we urge you to experience the physical and psychological benefits of beauty wellness the Girly Home Webzine® way! We do hope you will join us on this voyage of indulgence, self-discovery, and renewal.
Journey Through the Career Chronicles
Come share in our individual experiences in the workforce through a collection of 
personal anecdotes, essays, and articles. These memorable passages take on special importance as they reveal our struggles and triumphs in the search for identity, intrinsic fulfillment, and ultimate self-actualization attained through work.
I chronicle my own academic journey through higher education in a collection of personal essays written over the course of my doctoral studies.
We welcome the contributions of all women, working from inside or outside the home.
Take the Etiquette 101 Seminar
What is social etiquette? Is it really that important? Or is it an antiquated art?
The answer is YES, it really is that important that a lady be well-versed in the proper social graces! The importance of appropriate social behavior is insurmountable.
Many of us first came in contact with etiquette after making an etiquette faux pas. You may recall feeling awkward, uncomfortable, or embarassed in that moment. The Etiquette 101 Seminar series is for the beginning etiquette student, or those with basic questions. This will answer the who's, what's, and why's of proper etiquette.
Read the Feminine Feminist Diaries
Clutch your pearls ladies. In this section we aren't afraid to use the *F* word! We're not anti-male, we're pro-equality! So much of the stigma of feminism is centered around misconceptions about what feminism actually is. Do you believe women should have an active voice in society? Support equal pay for equal work? Believe we can be leaders?? Well, maybe you're a feminist too.
In our Feminine Feminist Diaries we proudly celebrate our sheer femininity along with our feminism, through articles, blogrings, and personal stories. We see nothing wrong with being "girly girls".... AND calling ourselves feminists! The two concepts are not oxymorons and, as we will demonstrate, often go hand in hand! My earnest hope is that this section helps you banish any pre-exisiting sterotypes you may have held about what a feminist is! There is no one feminist profile--we come wrapped in all packages, pink bows and all!
All feminists, anti-feminists, and curious individuals are welcome to peek inside. Be warned however: We speak feminism in here! Do you?
Visit the Financial Corner
In this informative and revealing section we take close and unashamed scrutiny of the various financial troubles that too often plague us, including dysfunctional relationships with money, issues saving for retirement, and hindrances to investing in long-term goals.
Essentially, the Financial Corner will focus on strategies designed to put ourselves in a healthy financial position.
We hope this section will compel you to take control of your personal finances, learn the basics of saving and investing, begin the process of getting out of debt, understand the assets versus liabilities in your life, and help you manage the nuts and bolts of smart financial management. It's time to regain control of our money--instead of letting unhealthy money practices control us!
For some of us, these may be new concepts.... for others it will be review. Nevertheless, all are welcome to meet us at the Financial Corner! Feedback and articles about your own experiences (financial challenges and/or personal growth stories) are welcome.

Owning Our Bodies, Our Health
In Our Bodies, Our Health we present clear and truthful information about women's mental and physical health from a feminist perspective. We vigorously advocate for women's health by challenging the institutions and systems that devalue our lives. As women we can become our own health experts, particularly through discussing issues of health and sexuality with one another. Our goal is to empower and inspire women to become engaged in all aspects of sustaining good health for themselves and their families.
Women wake up with new problems, situations, and endeavors every single day. At Girly Home Webzine® we believe that the best way to help a woman through any situation that their hectic lives may bring is through individual interaction with other women that have worn the same shoes. In Our Bodies, Our Health women gather, share, and learn to take ownership of their health!
Participate in the Recipe Exchange
This is a wonderful way to share your favorite dish or to learn new ones to make for your family. Each month I will feature a recipe from my own kitchen. You can expect to find classic home-cooked recipes from appetizers and breads, to desserts, salads, entrees, and much more. Many of these are recipes that have been in my family for decades, while others are modern recipes that I have created and tested.
Do you have a great recipe to share? Send me an email with your favorite recipe and I will feature that recipe, along with your name, a brief autobiography, and a photo (optional). This is the place where you can share that old recipe you've always enjoyed, or maybe find that recipe for eggplant surprise you've been searching for! Bon Appetit!
