Chic, Broke & Confused: A modern day unbiased advice column

"He loves his goldfish more than he loves me."

"I am in the middle of a love octagon."

"I can't cook a hot dog."

It's no secret that we all have "problems" in our lives. So what do you do? You call your trusty best friend and hope she tells you what you want to hear.

Yeah. That’s right. What YOU want to hear, not what is in your best interest. We all know how it goes; in the end it’s easier to make the wrong decisions. Not that it's always a bad thing, because you might actually learn something. Still, if you're not happy with your current situation it’s probably because you keep making the same mistakes over and over again. The case of the stubborn amnesiac.

Get over it! Wipe that dirt off your $330 True Religion jeans and move on. It's a great time to be a woman. You just have to embrace that. We are here because we want to be. We want to start a conversation about where we are going to be in the next few years.

To do this, we need to touch base and figure out our daily woes. Confront them and bring that confidence to the forefront of who we are. Change is a biggie. It's not easy to come to terms with it, but once you do, you start appreciating many of the small things. Like penises, ups and downs come in all shapes and sizes.

Who we are.

First off, we are not psychologists. We are not financial gurus (if we were, we would be busy tearing up Wall Street). We are not experts in any one field. Bottom line, we are just like you. We are chic, broke and confused.

We have made bad choices, and moved on. We have made awesome decisions (one of which led us to meet in a great cosmopolitan city in Europe). Bottom line, we’re just like you – trying to sort out what’s right and wrong, separate the black, white and gray areas and use our confidence and capabilities to do great stuff.

What you should expect.

General advice on ANYTHING, really. Just as long we have gone through it or seen someone else do it. You can expect to read from sex and relationship advice to traveling, personal finance and what movie you should see this week. We're sorry, but we can’t really comment on what we think are weird, obscure subjects (ie. Star Trek, C-SPAN, etc).
We are not professionals, as we've mentioned before. Don’t blame us if you slip off the wagon. Don’t praise us if we are able to solve your problems. At the end of the day, you did that on your own, we just gave you that extra little push.
(We can’t write prescriptions for meds either.)

We already think you’re chic, awesome and fabulous, if you are reading our column. So we really will encourage you to eliminate the broke and confused bit of the equation without changing who you really are.
