    It Takes Two: Famous Best Friends We Love

    A Look at 10 of our Favorite Famous Best Friends & What They’ve Taught Us

    Best friends. We love them, we cherish them, and we couldn’t make it through life without them. In honor of the girls we call our besties we’re taking a look at the on-screen dynamic duos who have taught us a thing or two about life, love, and friendship. From TV friends to real-life friends these females remind us why we love our inner circle.

    We also love these duos for not portraying women as catty and cutthroat which the media has a sad tendency to do all too often in today’s “reality” driven world. Because really, we know that true friendship is about building each other up not tearing one another down. Whether it’s a phone call in the middle of the night to talk us out of  (or into) quitting or jobs, a bar buddy for happy hour, or a cheerleader to get you through the crazy hard bootcamp you both signed up for, your best friends are the ones who are there to make your life all that much better.

    It was tough to narrow down the list but here’s a look at our 10 favorite famous best friends and the lessons they’ve taught us about friendship.

    My April horoscope warned me that I would have to pay special attention to my health and schedule any appointments that I may have neglected. When I read it, the dentist was the first thing that came to mine but I would find out soon enough that I had developed a condition that would change my current life path. I went through a mental checklist of the standard medical appointments I should cover. After chatting with a friend I realized I was actually more on top of my health and more informed about my care than other people my age. With the help of new medical graduate Veronica Esmero, I have put together a quick guide for annual health care: who you need to see, what you need to keep top of mind, and where to go for extra resources… if you don’t have a direct line to a nurse. [Happy Nurses Week!]
