EDITORS
NOTE
Women are beautiful creatures, and one resilient feature
is their strength, but Ive notice that each year younger
and younger girls are faced with obstacles that can clutter
their path to success and we at the Girlfriends Foundation
wish to help them along the way.
We want to give you the opportunity to experience the joy
of giving in a very unique way and to receive something
life-changing at the same time.

We invite you to view the first of our educating,
entertaining and empowering magazines, geared towards
raising funds for the foundation, highlighting those
business that support our cause.

The birth of The Girlfriends Foundation has transformed
my life and as a result, Ive vowed to carry the fight to help
our women. I encourage you to join us and assist in the
development of our society.This decision has enriched my
life more than any other activity I have engaged in.

Through this, I have experienced first-
hand that when we focus on something
that is bigger than ourselves and
ask God how we can be of service,
the result is nothing short of Divine
Gratification.
I wanted to share something with you,
surrounding the birth of
The Girlfriends Foundation
and why we should all join the
fight to save our young girls,
the future of society.

Healing Women...Healing the World.
In order for women to be healthy and
wholistically ft, we must strengthen all of our
muscles.Ofallthemusclesinthebody,one
that is generally overlooked, yet defnitely (and
literally) vital to our existence is the vagina.
The vagina is a muscle, usually defned as
merely the passage that leads from the
vulvatothecervixoropeningoftheuterus.
Thismuscleisessentialforprocreation(both
during conception and delivery of life) as
wellasforcreationofpleasureandlifeforce
energy and it must be strengthened and

Yoni Egg exercises, reportedly cultivated
and preserved in Ancient China, are ideal
forwomenofalltypes.YoniEggsareactual
stones made of jade or other semi-precious
mineralsthatcanbeinsertedintothevaginal
canal to not only strengthen the vagina, but the surrounding organs as
well. The regular use of a Yoni Egg will increase the sensitivity of your
vagina,makingorgasmsmoreintenseforyouandyourpartner.
We recommend consistent practice with Yoni Eggs for a few minutes
each day. However, I sleep, clean the house, belly dance, and go to
