JO PIAZZA WANTS TO REWARD YOUR HEARTBREAK! LOVE REHAB CONTEST!
Breaking up is hard to do. Let’s face it, only the rarest among us, handle ourselves well in the midst of a breakup. For the majority of us the days and weeks post-split become a haze of vodka-sponsored trips to the shores of Blackout Island, social media stalking and staged encounters in Trader Joes.
That’s why we deserve a pick me up.
Meghead and longtime friend of Meg’s Makeup Jo Piazza has penned her very first novel, “Love Rehab: A Novel in 12 Steps.” It will be released at the end of January just in time for every single gal’s favorite holiday—President’s Day.
But before the novel comes out, Jo wants to hear from you. She wants us to free ourselves from the bad feelings about our breakups by admitting some of the nutty things things they have done in the heartbreak haze of a breakup (drunken serenades, elaborate cyber stalking schemes that could rival Carrie Mathison, hand-stitching his name over and over again on a giant quilt that you send to his mom......that may have just been me).
The winner will have her story included in the final version of Love Rehab (all names changed of course). Except for mine, I begged Jo to make a "Megan O'Brien" charater (duh.)
There are some pretty great prizes too ($250 Juicy Couture Gift card, Rent the Runway Gift Card, Leonor Greyl hair products, Koret handbags, a bottle of Courvosier Gold and practically a year's supply of makeup from yours truly).
Why? Because you deserve something real, tangible and expensive when you go through a breakup. You’re beautiful and you’re worth it and if he won’t put a ring on it, then we will put some mascara on it.

I've only been broken up with once (I guess I'm a dumper, not a dumpee!), but I kind of lost it for a while. I was just a teenager already going through a hard time (family crisis, health problems, etc) and that was really the last straw. I spent a few months sulking, then decided to date a guy he knew that was an absolutely terrible person. I wasted almost a year of my life with a druggie jerk in order to make my ex-flame jealouse :/Clearly, I only do things in extremes...

Girl, the dumb things we do as teenagers - those stories would fill an entire library!
So true!
oy oy oy!!! I remember my last boyfriend after we broke up he broken on my myspace... gave a bunch of random men my phone number && address and told them to come over, He keyed my familys car... && after i got a restraining order he was arrested for robbing the gas station he work at .. BAHAHAHA KARMA :)
What a crazy person!
I paied my ex's phone bill for a couple of months after we broke up and proceeded to take his calls and cry like a crazy person... then I saw the light..
OMG. I was madly, madly in love with an orthopedic surgeon I was dating. His hours were crazy, but he was smart, funny, a great tennis partner and apparently preferred blondes. Which a frenemy gleefully passed on to me at the bridal shower of a mutual friend. I managed to get through the afternoon and then headed straight home to call him (before cell phones). he wasn't home, wasn't answering his pager. So I called the hospital and learned he was working in the ER. Off I went (I was obviously already a little off, yes). Found his car in the parking lot and waited. A long time. It's not really stalking if you are dating, right? i saw him come out and walk towards his car so I positioned myself on the hood and in my ever so carefully thought out performance told him that I wasn't moving until he told me the truth. So he told me the truth and told me to move. I told him i had left something in his car. He let me in and i grabbed his pricey sunglasses and left. Upon arriving home I smashed the glasses to bits, put them in a well padded envelope and sent them to him with a note asking if he could see clearly now. He called and asked what the hell was wrong with me. I told him I had realized I was too good for him and he deserved what he got for wasting my time. Then I cried for a month or eight. He didn't marry the blond. He married a very unatteactive woman that his parents approved of. He couldn't even name his first child what he wanted to because his mother didn't like the name. Anger management is something I continue to work on!
"you deserve something real, tangible and expensive when you go through a breakup. You’re beautiful and you’re worth it and if he won’t put a ring on it, then we will put some mascara on it." these words sound so nice <3
Sounds nice.
I had been with "Jim" for a couple of months when I found out he was still trying to hook up with women online. I was so mad that I decided to get even with him and dump his sorry ass. I made a fake facebook profile and friended him, and he sent a private message asking to meet me. (Of course! Because he's a slimeball!) When I showed up at the restaurant, the look on his face was priceless! Right at first he didn't realize he was busted -- he thought I just happened to run into him. But a minute later I could tell that he had figured it out and was still trying to act cool. Sweet! It was so good to see him twisting in the wind, :D. I didn't even have to tell him he was history. I just left the restaurant, and he never tried to contact me again.
I have been married so long I can't remember a crazy break up. lol
Nice
My worst breakup was the guy right before I met my husband, so it must have been the right thing! He dumped me out of the blue and I was totally devastated, but then a couple months later when I was ready to start dating again my hubby was the first guy I dated, and that was that!
I was only broken up with once. I had gone off to college and left him at home. After a while, he broke up with me to see other girls. I was devistated. I cried for at least a month. I dated but still grieved. We did end up together, though, married and had 2 kids!
