Check out my test drive of the manicure for The Frisky here — the article tells all about the weird things I did while wearing the polish and how it held up.

Absolutely! http://jamiebeckman.com/can-a-breakup-be-good-for-you-absolutely/ http://jamiebeckman.com/can-a-breakup-be-good-for-you-absolutely/#comments Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:48:24 +0000 Jamie Beckman http://jamiebeckman.com/?p=355 That’s an emphatic “Yes!” from me! Check out my new story on the health benefits of a breakup for SheKnows.com here.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll absolutely say it again: After a breakup, you have ample time to get to know you again. That means more time for the things and people you love in life — which is a great gift. Savor it.

I think that after every breakup, one vivid memory sticks with you just like early recollections from childhood do. I wrote about one of my most searing post-breakup moments for Crushable.com here: Unpacking Your Post-Breakup Baggage is Hard to Do. (I love that they used a picture of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe to illustrate the story.)

While we’re on the subject of breakups, I can’t wait for my book, THE FRISKY 30-DAY BREAKUP GUIDE, to come out next month! I saw an advance review copy, and it looks great — the cover is vivid pink, glossy, and gorgeous. Stay tuned for more details and updates….

For my newest story at TheFrisky.com, I chatted with a slew of experts on luck (including two psychics and a poker player) about their take on whether the L-word really affects our love lives.
