Prop 8 and Five Other Reasons California Sucks
California has always been my dream place to live with its warm weather, hot surfer dudes and that laid back, livin the life attitude. But as of today, my view on the seemingly perfect Cali location has truly changed. Thanks to the really messed up California Supreme Court Prop 8 decision banning same sex marriages, I started to realize the truth behind all that sunshine.

Day-to-Night Styler: Turn Back Time
Vintage/vintage-inspired fashion is a great way to add a fun flair to the every day. Why wear a simple cotton dress when you can easily bring a unique retro look into the mix? I’m all about playing with fashion, so this week’s Day-to-Night Styler is taking a trip down memory lane. I found a darling 50′s style dress that can smoothly transition from day to night and look totally bangin’ wherever you decide to wear it.
Brooke Shields’ Secret Revealed: Who Really Cares?
Breaking news! Brooke Shields didn’t lose her virginity until she was 22! Big deal, right? Well, clearly with the absurd amount of publicity surrounding her most recent interview with Health magazine, where this alleged shocking secret was revealed, it is obvious that to many, this is a big deal. But why?
Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Wine Cork Bulletin Board
For all you organized chicas like me out there, you understand the importance of a bulletin board. You can put up papers and important notes before they get lost in the shuffle on your desk. You can hang your keys on them. Heck, you can plaster them with pictures and have a make-shift frame!
Life After College: And The Growing Up Begins
I’ve grown up a lot in the past week. How could I not with all the positive encouragement from the commenters last week? I got up off the couch, got a pants suit, and got a job with benefits. Well I got off the couch… and that’s a start.
Tuffy Luv Says: Show Those Jerks Who’s Boss
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’m a high school junior who’s been having a bit of a problem. I sit in class with 5 guys in my chemistry class who constantly tease me. I’m the only girl on the left side of the room. Sometimes I don’t say anything, and they just start making fun of me. I get the fact that high school boys are immature, and that girls tend to be more mature at the age of 16.

Optimism: Good or Very, Very Bad?
We are constantly being told to have confidence, to be optimistic, and that if we believe in ourselves, we can do it! Well, these eye rolling confidence booster clichés are apparently unnecessary, as a recent study proves that 95% of the world’s population is naturally optimistic.
We’ve All Been There: The Awkward Run-In
So you’re finally settled back into home life for the summer. You’ve spent the last week catching up on sleep, home cooking and quality snuggle time with the dog and now it’s time to get out of the house. You rifle through the duffle bags you have yet to unpack, throw on some clothes and head out to visit your old high school haunts. Namely, the mall.

The Hills: Spencer Pratt Makes an Apology
Anyone else forget that it was Monday yesterday? I spent my day BBQing with friends (or eating whatever they BBQed while I sat on the couch watching tv) only to come home, turn on my TV and realize I was halfway through The Hills. I was devastated (“SPENCER IS SUPPOSED TO APOLOGIZE TONIGHT!!”)…
Wardrobe Wish List: Calvin Klein Sarkia Pump
Sexy pumps: every girl’s necessity for a fabulous night out. Yes, they will probably definitely kill your feet and you’ll be walking back from the party in flip flops (or barefoot!), but they’re hard to resist because they look so.frickin.good. Sick of typical stilettos but want to add some height? Look no further than the Sarkia Pump by Calvin Klein.
I’m Torn: America’s Next Top Model
I used to love ANTM. Ever since 2003, thanks to the CW, and the countless marathons on VH1 and MTV, I’ve been obsessed with all things Top Model. I remember Shandi’s “Shanthrax” t-shirts, drunk Brittany, Nicole being a crybaby, crazy-ass Jade… and literally screaming at my TV when Whitney was crowned Top Model of cycle 10.
