You wouldn't believe some of the products that people approach us with - wanting an endorsement from Healthy Girls. We respect our Healthy Girls family way too much to subject you to a flurry of products designed simply to line the pockets of the people that are promoting them. No thanks.

I recently found just such a website - www.girlambition.com.

They are a membership site, but they offer a free initial 30-day trial period. My daughter tried it and liked it - and it passed both the Mom and the Healthy Girl's test. Good stuff. Let me know what you think. Here's their promotional stuff:
