| Choices, Choices... |
Hey FGs!
Do you ever realize how many decisions we have to make in a day? I was trying to start a count. The alarm goes off, Do I really have to get out of bed? Open up the dresser, light jeans or dark jeans? Which sweatshirt? Sneakers or flats? Okay, so now you're dressed. But the day has hardly begun...
I read an article recently, about how we are given too many choices and how much better life would be if we didn't have them. That seems like a really silly thing to complain about. Too many choices? That's like complaining about having too many shoes, or too much ice cream.
Admittedly, I really don't like making decisions. I am pretty indecisive, weighing the issues back and forth. If it's just picking a movie with friends, I'll let them decide. Lately, though, it's seemed like there are bigger decisions than strawberry or vanilla. That's when I really do think that there are too many choices.
Unfortunately, when life brings you to those crossroads, there really isn't an easy way out. Realistically, making no decision or letting someone decide for you is nowhere near as good as just picking for yourself, one way or another. It can get really frustrating. But you have to keep it in perspective; while things may seem bad now, in the long run it's definitely not the end of the world. Whether your decision turns out to be the "right" one or the "wrong" one, things will work themselves out in the end. Besides, having multiple choices means that you have multiple opportunities. All you can do is take your best shot and go for it! I'll be cheering for you.

| Declaration of Independence |
Hello FGs!
I want to send a Happy 4th of July to all of my Fab Gals in the US (and everyone else, too!). What a great day! In honor of this totally Fab country, I want to talk to you about what you do that makes you independent.
No matter where you live, you should value the opportunities that women have been gaining over the past years. There are women breaking ground in every field - politics, science, fashion, entertainment, you name it. I hate to sound like a mom, but seriously! You have no idea what amazing things you can do now. For the first time ever, a woman was able to be a real contender in the race for president. No matter what party your from, that is an astounding accomplishment.
It's also important to remember, as an independant woman, that it's okay to do what you want to do. Sometimes even the people that want the best for you don't know what's best for you. Value your own independence, and follow your pursuit of happiness. I mean, the Declaration said so, right?
Anyways, where I was going is this - it's a marvelous time to be a Fab Gal, no matter where you live. So celebrate that today. I hope you have a totally Fab holiday, my little firecrackers!
xoxo
