One reason I chose to offer sunless tanning products on TGR Body was personal. I laid out, went to tanning beds and never wore sunscreen or sunblock as a child or teen. In my 20’s, when I got pregnant, the hormones and my previous sun damage had a war on my face: melasma. Melasma is […]
Books such as Reviving Ophelia, Saving Beauty From the Beast, Queen Bees & Wannabes, Odd Girl Out and Girlfighting have elucidated the cultural context that puts so many adolescent girls at risk. But that’s only one part of the story. Daughters don’t become “unconscious” in the areas in which their mothers are fully conscious. Ophelia […]
Deborah Siegel asks some compelling questions in the Ms. Blog Magazine, Are We Too Isolated to Fight the Pink v. Blue Battle?, about gender stereotypes and gender identity. I’d like to answer some of them, from my own perspective. My perspective being one where I started The Girl Revolution to both talk about gender issues, […]
Never say “dreaded period” again! It is not dreaded. At all. It is a lovely gift of heightened women’s intuition. It sets us on our Soul Path. It allows one’s inner wise woman to speak louder and be heard, because one feels more quiet and slow. That’s my latest theory about early puberty. That […]
Kathy Pickus from Dot Girl Products sent Ainsley a Dot Girl First Period Kit in preparation for her eventual period. This was not our first discussion about menstruation, but it was the discussion with the visual aids to illustrate the points.

Grow out your bush in solidarity with your pubescent daughter. Then you can say, “Everybody gets pubic hair. It’s natural, normal and beautiful.” And mean it. I was, honestly, so proud of my soft chocolate-and-gold-tinted triangle. Until a boyfriend mentioned he preferred it groomed another way. Then another boyfriend mentioned he like it groomed further.

I walk into my BFF Jenny’s house (Yes, the fabulous Jenny, owner of Ms. Sparrow’s Holistic Cleaning Co.), she turns from the delectable tomato soup she’s stirring for our girls night and says, You’re rockin’ the vagina today with that necklace and the cowl neck T.S. I think I love this outfit even more now, […]
Everywhere I look, especially on the Internets, I hear women whine, “It’s so hard to like my body!” This from beautiful women who essentially look like the above pictured woman. WHAT. ARE. YOU. TALKING. ABOUT!?!? YOU are making it hard. The truth is that it is very, very simple. IF you wake in the morning, […]
I was marveling at this business consultant’s mad Excel skills as he magically made the machine do the math for me the other day. “100 points theory,” he said. “Huh?” I said, thinking he was expounding on the over-my-head nuances of Excel sheets and accounting. “Everyone is born with 100 points, but not the same […]
Our job as parents is not to be flawless or perfect. Our job is to be our incredible, flawed selves with grace and humor so we can teach our children how to fall down and get back up. Fall down, get back up. Fall down, get back up. Fail, try again. Win, raise the bar. […]

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 Generally this verse is presented as how we should behave […]
