Rather than raise our voices, we girls at EcoSalon prefer to write about it, because if you need to scream, my guess is you aren’t so certain what you have to say is worth hearing.
And really, who wants to hear a grown woman roar?
In the past few months at EcoSalon, women have taken center stage with subjects ranging from brazen to, well, more brazen. If only we could change the world with our steadfast, unwavering commitment to talking about what matters.
Oh yeah, we are.
So what have we been discussing lately with regards to women? The question should be, what haven’t we?
We talked about getting older – why welcoming 30 and reaching for 40 with gusto is a reason to celebrate. Although with age comes the need to decide short versus long…hair, that is.
Is there ever a good time to talk about infertility? But we did. Then we tossed around the wild proposition that we don’t need a baby to feel happy and fulfilled. The horror! Which brings us to contraception and the dirty, sexy pill.
While we’re on the subject of sex, we want our cake, and to eat it too. I mean, why should we have to choose?
Speaking of choices, why are being pretty and smart mutually exclusive? We can have it all! Right?
Wrong. It’s time to face the cold, hard truth. Our fantasy lover is not showing up to sweep us off our feet, because he doesn’t exist. Reality checks can be so annoying.
And so is the office flirt who makes her way to the top using her sexy. But it seems she’ll pay the price once she gets there.
Sticks and stones – but names can be controversial. Gal, chick, girl, lady or ma’m? You decide.
And finally, it’s a relief to know that there are at least nine things we don’t need in order to be happy, and that after all this talk, a little silence and a good book can be a girl’s best friend.
