GET ENERGIZED, YOUNGER- LOOKING SKIN. YOURBESTBEAUTIFUL hree thousand miles is a long way to go for a girls’ night, but that’s essentially what I did a few weeks ago. A quickie trip to London allowed me to hang out with my friends Carla and Amy, whom I’ve adored since our fresh- man year of college. The hours we spent drinking tea, lattes, and wine, shopping and sightseeing, were just excuses to yak on. And the conversation ventured places it rarely does with new friends. Why is that? I asked you all on Facebook; this list combines your reasons with a few of mine: • “You don’t have to explain yourself; they just understand you.” –Sari Hacker • Laser hair removal is a perfectly acceptable topic for the dinner table. • They knew me when I was much prettier but seem, mysteriously, to nd me lovelier now. I feel the same about them. • We were at one another’s weddings and remember the part where everyone promised to support the new couple in their married life. Maybe that’s why, even when we are kvetching about our partners, we try to act like glue, not dynamite. • I can tell, just by looking at their faces, when I’m being kind of a jerk. • Our book and movie recs are eerily on-target. • “They know your story, your faults, your embarrassing moments, and they still love you!” – Cynthia Nelson Snoe • Schadenfreude is completely out of the question. • Who else would let you try her La Mer serum and claim you look younger already? • We cheer one another’s achievements, and at the same time, they understand completely when I admit to some- times feeling like a fraud. • We’ve started to forget one another’s stories, so they can be successfully retold with a little tipsy prompting. • They are very, very similar to sisters, with none of the nonsense of sisterhood. • “It doesn’t matter how much time has passed; we can pick it right up where we left o.” – Katrina Namad Thanks, ladies.

Easy and eective!” MOLLY “I downloaded the SaleSorter app on page 117 to my iPhone so I can see where the discounts are. Now when I’m in a favorite ’hood, I know where to find deals—and which stores to avoid if I don’t want to drop major cash.” AUDREY 8 Redbookmag.com “Using cash instead of cards made me much more aware of how I spend.
