My Friend Barbie®

It’s time for all of us to grow up and stop comparing ourselves to friends like Barbie.

We were possibly destined to become friends because we both went to high school in Wisconsin. Yes, I have to admit I was a bit jealous of her “dream house” and who else in our generation got a car, let alone a convertible? Still, we grew up together and I admire many of her qualities.

My friend Barbie® turned 50 last month. There is definitely more of a big deal being made about it than when I turned fifty a few years ago, but I’m not jealous. How could anyone keep up with a friend like Barbie? Sure, I’ve done a few worthwhile things in my life, but I’ve never been a teenage fashion model, gone to college, served in all branches of the military, been an astronaut, run for President, been a nurse, a doctor, a surgeon or surfed in Malibu. I had to learn a long time ago not to compare myself to my friend Barbie.

Granted, you could describe her as plastic at times, but I still fondly remember our growing up years when we gave each other a lot of attention. I even got to know her little sister Skipper and hung out with her cousin Francine.

She’s kept her figure all these years. Me…let’s not go there. Honestly, I’ve seen the girl at a million tea parties and she doesn’t gain an ounce.

Did you know Barbie when you were growing up? The truth is there are always Barbie’s in our world, the women we compare ourselves to.  The success, the figure, the fame, the green grass they live in on the other side of our fence; we put a lot of energy into wondering what it’s like to be them.

Guess what. It’s time for all of us to grow up and stop comparing ourselves to friends like Barbie. It’s time for us to be comfortable in our own skin. I know that can be really difficult as you navigate menopause. You can get really down on yourself. But don’t do it. Resolve to take the changes happening in your life and use them to help you grow.

As we enter spring time, remember, Remifemin can be part of your arsenal of smart choices. Hormone free, clinically studied and here for you as a natural way to get relief for a change.

Barbie? She’s a doll! I know she’s going to be making smart choices about menopause too. I hope she becomes a fan of Remifemin® menopause and perimenopause relief†.

50 isn't old but ....... , Tuesday, April 21, 2009

by "B"


"I love Barbie but someone has to tell her she can't go around dressed like a teenager forever. I turn 50 this year and if I wore some of the outfits she does... my my the tongues would be a waggin'. Of course, I wouldn't look like that either.

But Barbie, come on girlfriend if you wore it the first time it was popular you might not want to look at it the next time it comes around.

We don't want to see you on the next edition of "The Cougar" - girl you don't need that after what happened with Ken.

We're more alike than you think.
All of us ladies entering or in full blown menopause have a lot in common. Apart from all the “science”, and what we know on an intellectual level of what is happening to us, there’s the stark reality of living day to day with the changes that menopause brings.
Help the men in your life "get it" when it comes to hot flashes
There were some very interesting letters to Dear Abby lately that you will enjoy if you are a lady in menopause and feel the men in your life “just don’t get it!”
Menopause can spark intense emotions, some positive, some negative. One of the problems that come along with menopause for many women is intensity in emotions. Sometimes that emotion can be anger….or feeling plain old mad.
