EhMaGawd!

This episode of EhMaGawd goes out to all the GLUs with scars on their hearts or, in Ellen’s case, open wounds. Ellen opens up about her devastating breakup with the man she thought she would marry. She’s brave, honest, and deeply vulnerable. You don’t have to be nursing a fresh wound to find meaning in her story, but if you are, grab a box of Puffs (with lotion) and know that you are not alone. Ev...

Unfun Fact: There are two questions every GLU has asked her crush at one point or another: Are you okay? What are you thinking about? 99.9% of the time, their answers are: Yeah. Nuthin’. Now the GLU is spiraling because she assumes he’s hiding something. But what if there were a way to find out what was happening between those waxy ears of his? Thanks to the Pretty Committee, there is. Today we’re...

Hi GLUs! As you know, most conversations about aging focus on how to cheat it: look younger, feel stronger, think clearer. But we rarely talk about the sloppy junk drawer of ages we schlepp inside us every day. The restless 6-year-old, the brooding 15-year-old, the lost 23-year-old, and on and on and on… So, on this episode of EhMaGawd, we talk about the dizzying ricochet we feel as we shoot from...

One year. Twelve mindsets. A new you every month. That’s what we’re exploring in this episode of EhMaGawd. Because whoever came up with the whole New Year’s resolution thing, which then morphed into the New Year’s intention thing, had it all wrong. How are we supposed to set goals in January for the GLUs we will become in May, October, or December? We can’t; that’s how. This is what Mindset of the...

A few weeks ago, we posted a special episode for subscribers detailing Ellen’s trip to Charleston, SC for Sophie Anna Everhard’s glam X 10 wedding.

Invasion of the Boy Snatchers , the fourth book in the Clique series, can only be compared to Lord of the Flies if you completely changed the plot but kept the savagery.

In this episode of EhMaGawd, Lisi and Ellen explore our dysfunctional relationship with aging. Why is living to see another day viewed as something we need to resist, reverse, and retouch? Why do we hide our years like period-stained shapewear instead of wearing them like badges of honor? When will we learn that we are so much more than our collagen and fertility? And what does E.T. have to do wit...

Revenge of the Wannabes, the third novel in the Clique series, is a great example of why some people want to burn books, and why they ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT! The story doubles as a time machine set to 2005, when it was perfectly acceptable to objectify women’s body parts, poke fun at eating disorders, and use revenge as a form of ‘conflict resolution’. Shame on us for tolerating it and good on us f...
