Having a great week? Make it even better with girl time. Having a crap-tastic week? Fix it with girl time. Going through a: break up, new relationship, getting fired or new job stress? The answer is always girl time.

These are the top five reasons that I love and NEED my time with my favorite gal pals.

1. They always know what you need.

Whether it's just a friend to listen to you vent or wise advice they can offer, your favorite girl friend is always there for you and knows exactly what you need.

2. It helps get your mind off things.

My favorite time to hang out with my girls is when I'm stressing about something. They always help me relax and get my mind off of the things stressing me out.

3. They will give you guidance.

Without judgment they will give you their opinion and listen to yours. They may not always agree with you but they will respect your opinion and give you new insight and solutions. They will help guide you to making your own decision that is the best option for you.

4. They'll make you remember how great it feels to laugh again.

When you are with the right group of girls they will truely remind you what it feels like to laugh so hard your gut aches. Nothing makes you feel better than a good laugh session with your girls.

5. They remind you that through the good and bad, they will stick with you no matter what.

Nothing can ever stop these strong women from being there for you and supporting you. They are always here for you
