"   Here&amp;#039;s some feel-good news that put a big ol&amp;#039; grin on our faces today: According to a newly released  national survey, women value having girl time\u2014and laughing with friends\u2014above material things. The study not only revealed that 82 percent of women believe that ladies-only time is super important, but that what we value the relationships that really make us happy over material things. The results show that we&amp;#039;re twice as likely to prefer LOLing with our best pals  than to receive a new piece of jewelry, get a manicure, or score a hot new pair of shoes.  That totally makes sense to us. After all, diamond earrings may sparkle, but they certainly won&amp;#039;t help you recover from an out-of-the-blue breakup or take you our for celebratory drinks when you get that major promotion at work. When it comes to what we really need in life, our girls top our list.  Now, we want to hear from you: What&amp;#039;s your fave way to  bond with your girls? Share away in the comments!
