Just as I got up at the crack of dawn with my mother and sister to watch Di and Charles wed, I set my alarm for four this morning, donned my fanciest hat (purchased for Royal Ascot during my years in London), and gathered with my mother and own satisfyingly brainwashed-to-care children to watch this generation’s version of the royal wedding. As we sipped Earl Grey and munched on iced royal-nuptial sugar cookies, I tweeted the action, entranced by every detail of Kate and Will's magical day. Thirty years from now, here is what I will remember most:

1. A "people's wedding" with pomp and circumstance. Just as the guest list included celebrities, royals, and dignataries, as well as the butcher, grocer and postman of Kate's Berkshire village, the ceremony managed to be both formal and intimate at once, a tricky balancing act. Even the avenue of English field maple trees placed along the aisle (Kate's idea, natch) brightened the somber, thousand-year-old abbey doubling as a final resting place of 17 monarchs. Right out of the gate, Kate proves that she can respect tradition — yet do things her way — with warmth and style.

2. The dress, the dress! Kate looked positively stunning in her Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen ivory, hand-laced gown. While Diana's dress conjured an overdone child's drawing (no surprise, since she herself was a teenager!), Kate's gown was elegant and sophisticated, wonderfully reminiscent of Grace Kelly. A real, grown-up princess. (And, of course, I'd be remiss not to mention Kate's "something borrowed" — a 1936 Cartier tiara, on loan from the Queen herself, per royal wedding tradition. Beautiful.)
3. Picture-perfect Pippa and hot Harry. In contrast to the hideously comical, Dr. Seuss-esque selections of the Princesses of York, Eugenie and Beatrice. Oh, no they didn't.
4. Prince William’s one-liner to his soon-to-be father-in-law . . . “just a small family affair!” I love that he loves her family — another good sign.

At this point in my (very) late thirties, I don’t necessarily relish the anniversary of my birth, but I do confess to loving a beautifully wrapped, satisfying gem of a gift. My dearest friends certainly delivered last week, cushioning the cruel blow of thirty-nine.

As I opened one particularly thoughtful gift — a pair of fine cotton, drawstring pajama pants and a lovely-scented travel candle from two gal pals who know how much time I spend in hotels — I thought of what makes the perfect gift: an indulgence that you are thrilled to receive but probably wouldn’t buy for yourself.

Here are five specific gifting tips:

1. Buy in advance — or at least take notes. How many times have we found the perfect card months before our cousin’s birthday? Or heard our best friend muse in a department store that she really “needs” to spice up her underwear drawer? Seize these moments and either buy in advance, allocating a drawer or shelf in your home for the collection, or record the idea in a “gift” notebook. An extreme example: I recently bought a darling Sweet Sixteen card for my Goddaughter who is only seven — but I know I will be grateful to have it in 2020!
2. Gifts aren’t just for birthdays. I have two friends who always gift me upon the publication of my novels. An engraved bookmark, a bouquet of fresh flowers, or a sweet token that coordinates with my book jacket art, e.g. a tiny bootie for Baby Proof with a 2006 penny inside (the year that book was released). I cherish these gifts and love the generous spirit in which they are given. So go ahead and celebrate your friend’s new home, job, or car (or help ease the blow of a bad break-up). She will never forget the gesture.
3. Try to avoid the generic candle or bath product and choose something that reflects your friend’s personal style. Having a gift monogrammed or personalized will show you thought of her way in advance of her day. And if you simply can’t resist the candle-bath product route — be sure to pick the perfect scent or color.

Last Fall, I was in a coffee shop, trying to write, when I struck up a lively conversation with a charmingly suave, but not too suave, guy on an adjacent fireside couch. He had nice hair, warm eyes, and was wearing satisfyingly distressed Levi’s paired with manly boots — part cowboy, part John-Varvatos cool.

Through our chat, I learned that he was single and looking for, in his words, "a kind girl." I swooned in a married-girl sort of way, and then, on a whim, snapped his photo with my phone. Later that afternoon, I posted it on my Facebook fan page, sure that there would be some takers in the 404. Within an hour, there were over two-hundred comments from girls in Atlanta and all over the country. Parker Estep became an instant cult figure on my page, and my moonlighting matchmaking career was born.

It’s relatively easy to make friends in high school or college when you’re living in a giant building with thousands of other co-eds who are going through the same experiences as you. Once you graduate to the hectic working world, it can be much harder to find time to find friends or know where to find friends, but there are still opportunities to make lifelong pals who share your interests and hobbies, and will change your life for the better. Here’s how:

1. Join a Gym — Say hello to that friendly looking girl in your yoga class, or ask the woman who runs next to you on the treadmill every Tuesday if she’ll sign up for a spin class with you. It’s great to make friends with people who share your exercise schedule and healthy lifestyle, and if you enjoy her company when she’s sweating, huffing, and puffing, think about how much fun you’ll have after a shower and a martini.
2. Be Social at Work — Don’t waste all day chatting at a colleague’s desk instead of doing your job, but open yourself up to connecting with co-workers. Just be careful about opening up too much — that means going to happy hours, lunches, and sales at Sephora together, not bitching about your boss or sharing every drunken escapade.
3. Throw a Party — Even if you think you don’t have any friends, you’ll be surprised by how many people will show up to your place if you just invite them. Encourage everyone to bring their own friends and you’ll meet new people who will be obligated to invite you to their next party, where you can meet even more new friends.
4. Be Bold — Chemistry doesn’t just happen between the sheets. There is definitely such a thing as “friend chemistry,” and it is just as rare and special as a spark between you and a guy. If you find yourself chatting with the girl in line with you at the deli counter and it makes the time you spend waiting pass in an instant, don’t just buy your bologna and leave. Be bold and ask for her digits or email address, and you may head home with a great story about how you met your new best friend.
5. Look Online — Find an online group that’s related to something going on in your life. There are so many groups for specific cities, industries, etc. If you’re a new mom, meet others by chatting with them online about your baby’s sleep schedule and follow up with a play date, or if you’re new to a neighborhood join a local meet up group. If you can do everything from find dates to buy bras online, you can certainly find friends there, too.

Ending a friendship can be just as heartbreaking and confusing as breaking up with a boyfriend. It’s hard to find a reliable, trustworthy friend who understands you, doesn’t judge you or compete, and is just a plain old blast to hang out with. Losing that person can leave a gaping hole in your life, so follow these tips to filling it with more fun and friends.

1. Keep Busy: Don’t give up the things you used to do together just because you’re not together anymore. If you loved Sunday yoga and manicures with this friend, go to yoga and get a manicure on Sunday either by yourself or with another friend. Keeping up your old pace will prevent you from missing her too much.
2. Enjoy the Space: Sometimes friend breakups can bring a breath of fresh air into your life. If you and your gal pal went through some drama and tears or were way too close for comfort, notice how quiet and peaceful it is without her around. Enjoy the peace and appreciate having space in your life (and your texting plan) for things that are new and exciting and healthy.
3. Reconnect With Yourself: Did you always do what this friend wanted without giving any thought to what you wanted or enjoyed? Take this opportunity to check in with yourself and re-prioritize your life. If you give yourself a chance, we bet you’ll discover new hobbies, new friends, and new things about yourself.
4. Nurture Other Friendships: It’s great to have more time to either nurture an old friendship or find a new best friend. Call up old friends and re-connect, or start making friend dates with the cute girl from school or the gym. In order to make room in your closet for a new dress, you have to get rid of an old one, and the same concept applies to the people in your life!
5. Appreciate the Past: Your ex-friend was probably in your life for a reason. She taught you something or introduced you to someone else who ended up being an important part of your life. Either way, she served her purpose and you don’t need her anymore, so take a moment to appreciate the friendship for what it was and move on with love and gratitude.

As frustrating and heartbreaking as they can be, mother/daughter dilemmas are completely normal and a part of almost every mother/daughter duo. If one of these common problems is threatening your relationship with mom, try our fast fixes below so that you can get some all-important motherly love!

Daughter Dilemma #1: Your Mom Keeps Asking When You're Going to Give Her Grandchildren

How to Deal With It: Remember that your mama just misses cuddling with her darling baby girl (i.e. YOU!) and wants to re-live that experience with your own sweet baby. Be honest with your mom about your thoughts and plans regarding children so that at least she'll have realistic expectations, whether she likes your time-line or not.

Daughter Dilemma #2: Your Mom Makes Snarky Comments About Your Weight

How to Deal With It: She probably just wants what’s best for you, and doesn’t realize that these nasty comments are anything but that! Try saying something like, “Mom, do you know that weight and body image issues are a problem for most women/girls my age? Calling attention to it just makes me feel bad about myself.” If she knows the damage her words cause, hopefully she will stop.

Daughter Dilemma #3: Your Mom Hates Your Boyfriend

How to Deal With it: First, make sure you are in a healthy relationship! If so, explain to your mom exactly what you love about this guy – how sweet he is, how well he treats you, etc. Even if she’s reluctant, encourage your mom to spend more time with your boyfriend so she can see how great he is for herself. Again, we’re pretty sure your mom only wants you to be happy, and once she knows you are, we really hope she’ll accept your man with open arms.

See the last two dilemmas after the jump!

Editor's note: The following is a guest post written by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent, authors of How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, How to Love Like a Hot Chick, and the just-released Live Like a Hot Chick. Today they're giving us tips for balancing work and fun.

1. Save Fun Foods for Playtime: Avoid toxic vending machine fare during working hours and save those calories for martinis and appetizers at happy hour with your friends.
2. Separate Your Emails: We know how easy it is to jot a quick note to your man or one of your friends from your work account, but please resist. Your company has the right to monitor all emails sent from their server, so don’t use it to send your boyfriend a picture of your thong. Likewise, don’t “call in” sick to your boss from ImAhottie4eva@hotmail.com or Iknowhow2yahoo@yahoo.com or risk being judged and ridiculed.
3. Color-Code Your Calendar: Use one beautifully organized calendar for all work and play obligations, and then color-code them as such. Use one color for personal events and other for work meetings and everything will be together yet separate.
4. Vent After Hours: It’s great to be friendly or even friends with your colleagues, but remember that they’re your colleagues first and friends a distant second. Choose other friends to vent to about your bitchy boss or incompetent CEO. It might not be as much fun because they won’t care as much, but trust us when we say that you don’t want them to.
5. Fit in Fun: Most of us work straight through lunch or inhale something mindlessly at our desks, but it’s important to take a break during the long workday. If you have a friend who works nearby, set a strict weekly lunch date. If you can’t take a full hour break, take ten minutes to walk around the block, window shop, or treat yourself to something you enjoy, whether it’s a small piece of chocolate, a fresh-squeezed lemonade or a quick chat with a friend. Little indulgences go a long way in making the day seem shorter.

1. Avoid Jealousy: This all too common green feeling is a waste of precious time and energy. Instead of letting jealousy ruin a friendship, turn it into something positive by acknowledging exactly what your friend has that you want. Allow this extra knowledge about your true desires to inspire you to go out and get it for yourself.
2. Multi-Task: Don’t let your busy work schedule or piles of bills and laundry keep you from hanging out with your gal pals. Make time for them (and for you) by exercising together, catching up during your commute (hands-free, please!), or even grocery shopping together.
3. Celebrate With Her: Life’s too short to miss out on making a big deal out of your friends’ birthdays, engagements, babies, and promotions. When one of your friends has good news, make it a rule to get together with a cake and a glass of champagne.
4. Give Tough Love: Everyone needs a little ass-kicking sometimes, and only the best friend in the world can set you straight with honesty, humor, and love. If your friend is acting thoughtless, selfish, self-destructive, or otherwise foolish, don’t be afraid to give it to her good.
5. Prioritize: We already told you how to spot a toxic friend, but you may have other friends who aren’t exactly toxic but aren’t at the top of your list, either. Guess what? That’s okay. We all have limited amounts of time and energy, and can’t give equal amounts to everyone in our address books. Pick a few (two or four or six) friends who are your top priorities, and treat them as such. Remember that with friends (just like sex and chocolate), it’s all about quality, not quantity.

Today they're sharing their secrets to success. Don't forget to enter our Hot Chick giveaway to win $200 to Bliss Spa and a set of their books

1. They know what they want, know they deserve it, and are not afraid to put in the time and work necessary to get it.
2. THEY DON’T SEND WORK EMAILS IN ALL CAPS. They know it just makes people mad and gives everyone reading it a massive headache. They also don't over-use abbreviations like OMG, LOL, or WTF because they don't want to sound like hyper tween.
3. They always dress appropriately for work, which means no flip-flops, tube tops, or body glitter (unless, of course, they are successful at a job that calls for such a wardrobe).
4. They stick to a budget and actually live within their means — that means not shopping like Carrie Bradshaw if you have the salary of a real-life journalist.
5. Instead of wasting hours every week engaging in nasty office gossip, they spend that time actually doing their job.
6. They ask for what they want. If it’s time for a raise, a promotion, or an assistant, they are not afraid to say what they need in a respectful, professional way.

Editor's note: The following is a guest post written by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent, authors of How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, How to Love Like a Hot Chick, and the upcoming Live Like a Hot Chick. Today they're sharing the basics of hooking up with a colleague.

1. Most importantly, try really hard to avoid getting involved in an office romance to begin with! Mixing business with pleasure can be more intoxicating and destructive than combining Long Island Ice Teas with a box of red wine.
2. Speaking of which, colleagues and alcohol shouldn’t mix, either. One too many happy hour martinis and the semi-cute office boy is going to start looking a lot cuter than he really is.
3. If you’re going to avoid rule #1, make sure it’s worth it! Ask yourself, "Is this date or hookup worth possibly losing my job, going on endless interviews, and eating Ramen noodles three times a day over?"
4. You may think it’s cute to be your married colleague’s "office wife," but trust us when we tell you that it’s not cute to get involved with a married man no matter what. Doing so tells the universe that you’re too lame to ever deserve a healthy relationship, so focus on work when you’re at work and find your own man when you’re off the clock.
5. If you do engage in an office romance, remember to deny, deny, and then deny some more! Your co-workers will be able to smell the interoffice sex on you like too much Axe Effect, but 'fessing up to it would be like adding fuel to the fire that you’re already playing with.

Editor's note: The following is a guest post written by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent, authors of How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, How to Love Like a Hot Chick, and the upcoming Live Like a Hot Chick. Today they're discussing toxic friendships.

1. Your friend flirts with your man, makes sexual comments and innuendos whenever he's around, gets a bit too excited to see him, and/or has even gone so far as to sit on his lap or dance seductively in front of him.
2. She often borrows money from you and promises to pay you back, but instead she tells you how broke she is and buys a pair of $200 jeans when you're out shopping together.
3. She makes condescending comments about your appearance, job, or relationship status such as, "What's up with those shoes?" or, "Are you ever embarrassed to tell people what you do for a living?" or, "No date this weekend, either, huh?"
4. You find yourself hesitating before sharing good news with her because you're worried that she'll act weird and jealous and turn something great into a draining, dramatic fight.
5. She always breaks plans, changes them at the last minute, or shows up obnoxiously late, and you're starting to feel like you can't rely on her at all because she's so disrespectful of you and your time.

If these sound all too familiar, pick up a copy of Live Like a Hot Chick on Sept. 7 for tips on how to improve friendships that are worth saving and dispose of friends who are truly toxic.

Editor’s note: The following is a guest post written by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent, authors of How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, How to Love Like a Hot Chick, and the upcoming Live Like a Hot Chick. Today they're discussing ways to love your body.

1. Get Down with Downward Dog: Practicing yoga will not only sculpt your biceps like Madonna’s, but will do wonders for the relationship between your mind, body, and spirit. Every time you do yoga, you’ll sweat out toxins along with the toxic thoughts about your beautiful body, so sign up for a beginner’s class today.
2. Viva Variety: Instead of only seeing the flaws in other women’s bodies along with your own, relish in the beauty of the different shapes and sizes that we all come in. Notice and appreciate your co-worker’s sexy flat chest or your friend’s seductive hips, and then remind yourself that they probably feel just as insecure as you! Most women share the exact same body image issues, so stop wishing you had what someone else does, and start appreciating everything you’ve got!
3. Bask In a Brazilian: No, you certainly don’t have to be hairless in order to love your body, and if you normally see your waxer more often than you see your mom, maybe you should mix it up and skip your appointment this month. Our point is to try something bold and different and see how it changes your attitude. Even something like this that nobody but you (and one or two other special people) will see can put a sparkle in your eye and a sassy spirit in your step.

Hot Chick: A confident, empowered, passionate woman who knows what she wants and gets it! Here are 10 signs you need to get back on track.

1. No matter how much weight you lose or how many diets you try, you walk around pretty much every day feeling fat and undesirable.
2. You get up in the middle of the night to check your BlackBerry and often have nightmares about your boss.
3. You can’t remember the last time you met a friend for brunch, happy hour, or a wild girls’ night out.
4. You can’t quite remember the last time you had sex, either. Unless you’re young, a virgin, or intentionally taking a break from intimacy, in which case it’s OK and you are one smart Hot Chick!
5. You often wear old, stained granny underwear because you figure there’s no point in breaking out the pretty stuff when nobody besides you will see them.
6. You spend all day at work messing around online instead of actually doing your job and then complain about getting overlooked for a promotion.
7. You’ve never told your boyfriend that he’s hot or given him a single compliment.

Editor’s note: The following is a guest post written by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent, authors of How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, How to Love Like a Hot Chick, and the upcoming Live Like a Hot Chick. Today they're discussing relationship dos and don'ts.

DO be confident and know that you are an amazing Hot Chick who deserves to love and be loved with passion, honesty, and respect.

DON’T use sex as a gift, weapon, or reward. If you only do the deed to thank him for doing the dishes, you are missing all of the fun, open-hearted spontaneity of a healthy relationship.

DO be honest about what you want and need in your relationship, not to mention the things you want him to change. If you don’t tell him that the beer bottles on the counter drive you nuts or that you want more of a commitment, how is he supposed to know?

Editor’s note: This is guest post written by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent, authors of How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, How to Love Like a Hot Chick, and the upcoming Live Like a Hot Chick.

1. Hot Chicks know that that you shouldn’t spend countless hours flirting with a guy online and then disappear the minute he suggests a face to face meeting. This just wastes your time and his. Choose to interact online only with guys you’d be interested in talking to in person, or you’re telling the universe that you are a tease who is not taking online dating seriously.
2. Hot Chicks know that if you advertise yourself with naked photos on sites that are known to be hunting grounds for guys looking for one night stands, you should enjoy the booty but shouldn’t expect any guy you meet on there to take you out for pancakes or meet you at the end of the aisle.
3. Hot Chicks know you should be specific about what you want in a relationship when you’re talking to friends or filling out an online profile! The vaguer you are the more sketchy guys will mistakenly assume that they qualify for the job. (Hot Chick Hint: If you’re not sure what you want, that’s okay! Complete the Build-A Boyfriend program in How to Love Like a Hot Chick and we’ll help you figure it out.)
4. Hot Chicks know that if you spend all day and night surfing the web and stop paying attention to the potential mates you meet at a party, the gym, or the market, you are cutting your chances of meeting the right guy in half. Have an open heart online and in-line and Cupid will eventually find his way in.
5. Hot Chicks know that if you’re honest and committed and online date with confidence, you will eventually find your perfect match. You may have fifty first dates, but number fifty-one may just be the one.

Editor’s note: The following is a guest post written by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent, authors of How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, How to Love Like a Hot Chick, and the upcoming Live Like a Hot Chick.

We know that dating can be like interviewing over and over for a job that you don’t want, but you have to take some responsibility for making the process of finding the one (or just one of many) so frustrating, confusing, and uninspiring. Not only are the behaviors below irritating the very men you’re trying to impress, but they’re making the whole process so much less fun for you! Quit this crap and your dating life will be so much hotter.

1. Baggage Barfing: Quit spewing forth every nasty bit of your history on a first or second date. Of course you should be honest, but there some things he just doesn’t need to know right now, like the details of your recent bankruptcy or how heavy your last period was.
2. Not Eating: If you are truly messed up about food then go get help, but if you order a side salad with the dressing on the side in order to seem more feminine and desirable, you are totally messing up! A real man is going to want a real woman who knows how to eat and enjoy a real meal.
3. Sleeping with Everyone: If you sleep with almost every man you go on a date with and then wonder why you can’t find a lasting relationship, it’s because you’re sending out a hard-core slutty vibe. You are inadvertently telling these guys that you are nothing more than a sex toy. If you keep your pretty legs closed for a few dates and make sure you know his middle name before you find out the thread count of his sheets, your relationships will last longer and the sex will be even better.
4. Failing to X the Ex: Do you want to hear all about how gorgeous or crazy or schizo your date’s ex-girlfriend was? We didn’t think so. Play by the golden rule and quit talking (and thinking!) about your ex boyfriend while trying to find a current one.
5. Letting LSE* (low self-esteem) Rule: You are a Hot Chick and there is no reason for you to imply otherwise to anyone, especially your date! Don’t you dare say negative things about yourself like, “You can see my muffin top in these jeans,” or, “I don’t have that many friends; I’m kind of a loser.” Be confident, in the moment, and honest about all of your good qualities, and we’re pretty sure he won’t notice or care about the muffin top at all.
