CU Boulder Celebrates 4/20. Sweeeeet.
Like this. A sunny-yet-foggy day in Boulder, CO. 4:20 p.m. on 4/20.

CollegeCandy’s Sex with the Ex Mix
I dunno if it’s just the spring sunshine (er, rain right now), but I am feelin’ a little frisky. Which sucks. Because I’m single…and plan to stay that way. But, I do have ONE option at my disposal: Sex with the Ex.
Fashionably Techie: Recycle Those Electronics
Happy late Earth Day! You probably don’t think of tech gadgets when you think of saving the planet but you should. I mean think about how many new cell phones you’ve gotten in the past two years. For most people it’s at least two (or more if you’re accident/drop-in-the-toilet prone).
Friends Lead to Longer Lives
We all know that eating right, exercising, drinking lots of water (not excessive amounts of alcohol), and not smoking increase your health and your chances of living longer overall. But let’s be honest–how many of us actually do all those things, all of the time?
Girl Crush: Jessica Biel
Who was voted “The Sexiest Woman Alive?” Oh yes, that would be my new girl crush, Jessica Biel. And for good reason. Not only is Ms. Biel really freaking sexy, but she plays it up with her uncanny ability to pull off any fashion look, from “cute and casual” to “sexy in style.”
Summer 2009 Must-See Music Tours
Ah, summer. It’s so close I can taste it. And hear it? Days on the beach, drinks on patios, and BBQs with friends. And music, lots of music. One of the very best things about summer is going to outdoor concerts. And there are so many amazing tours this summer, I have a feeling I’m going to be at a concert pretty much every single week.

Is It Possible to be Too Single?
I’ve been single for a really, really long time. Like, super long. The last time I had a BF, Jordin Sparks was still competing on American Idol. Yeah. Not that I mind being single – I have actually gotten quite used to it – I just worry that spending so much time depending on myself and myself only has sorta made me….too single.
Makeup 101: Save your Skin from the Sun
So yesterday I got my first sunburn of the year. (At least, I think it’s a sunburn – it may also be a result of my drunken face-plant…) Honestly, though, I’m not gonna complain ’cause Syracuse hasn’t seen the sun in months. I am, however, going to dust off the sun products that have been under my bed for the past 8 months.
Candy Dish: Rihanna Rocks The Boat
• Rihanna and Katy Perry take a vacay.
• Ulta discounts for college girls!
• Lookin’ good between seasons.
• Super awesome green products.
• Condi Rice and Randy Jackson?
• You think you’ve had bad dates?
• Win a free week at a spa!
Sexy Time: Deadline for Love?
There’s no doubt about it – we all want to fall in love eventually. Of course, some of us want it just a little more than others. Take Neenah Pickett, for example. She wants to find her man, badly. She wants to find him so bad, in fact, that she’s given herself a deadline to get her ass in gear. She’s given herself 52 weeks (1 year, for you slow thinkers) to find her husband. And, trust me, this ain’t no half-assed New Year’s resolution biz.
Miss Manners: Urinal Etiquette
Just for fun, I’ve decided to lighten up this week’s column with an article on urinal etiquette. I get such a laugh every time a guy friend walks out of a public restroom screaming, “He was staring at my penis!! EVERYONE KNOWS YOU DON’T LOOK AT ANOTHER GUY’S THING!” Come to think of it, this seems to happen an awful lot.
The Guide Girls Say: Save Water!
Here are some quick and simple steps from two…er…lovely ladies on saving water and using it wisely. Once you get past the unsightly upper-lip hair and interesting makeup choices, these girls provide some useful information. Just another easy way to give somethin’ back to Mama Earth.
Going Green Is Easy With These 5 Products
We all want to go green, but let’s face it – it’s not easy. Not only is it impossible to build a compost heap in the dorms, there are a lot of lame Earth-friendly products out there. We’re not going to trade in our gorgeous leather bags for some crappy burlap sack. We aren’t going to start cleaning our dishes with some nasty dish soap/toothpaste/shampoo combo.
Countdown to College: 5 Things I Learned About College
Last weekend, Wesleyan hosted a three-day open house for accepted students (and helicopter parents) to get a feel for the school before D-Day. Although I was accepted early decision, I attended the aptly named WesFest on Friday and stayed overnight, meeting fellow pre-frosh as well as current students and experiencing college life first-hand.
Green Fashion Is Not Just for Tree Huggers Anymore
The earth friendly movement is sweeping the nation – cars, homes, even an entire TV station, everything is getting the green makeover, and fashion is no exception.
