    More To Love, or More To Make Fun Of?

    Ever since I heard about this “Bachelor for real people” I was intrigued. Having grown up overweight (and not had my first kiss until the ripe age of 18!), I really got behind a show that didn’t focus on looks and really just gave everyone a chance at love. Or as much “love” as you can get by meeting someone through a reality show on Fox.

  • Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Dress Yourself Thin

    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Dress Yourself Thin

    I, like most girls, have a complicated relationship with my body. After years of self-torture and dressing in clothes that would probably work better as yacht sails, I’ve come to the conclusion that my body is certainly not perfect, but it is mine. Ever since I started going to college, I tried to capitalize on this love/hate thing.

  • Life After College: What If…?

    Life After College: What If…?

    I’ve been asking a lot of questions lately. Mostly to myself, but I have a quirky tendency to mumble aloud so sometimes I get answers from people assuming that I was trying to have a conversation with them. But I appreciate their responses; I’ll take anything I can get these days, with the exception of Yahoo answers.

  • Tuffy Luv Says: Take Two On That Relationship

    Tuffy Luv Says: Take Two On That Relationship

    Dear Tuffy Luv, I dated this guy who I thought was it for 2 years, but I ultimately ended it because he moved away and our relationship became strained and our communications broke down. We planned on seeing where things would go when he came back, but before that happened, we got into a big fight about past things that I thought were non-issues…

    Starbucks Goes “Healthy”

    Those guys over at the Bux have been catching a lot of flack for their many drinks that have more sugar and calories than a liter of Coke, not to mention those fatty pastries, so they’ve decided to make some “healthy” changes.

  • 5 Things I’ve Learned During My First Week Alone

    5 Things I’ve Learned During My First Week Alone

    I will admit it, I know nothing about moving, especially to a city. I’ve lived the last 18 years of my life in a small town in Northern Ontario, where my parents took care of my every need. I was happy, I was comfortable, and best of all, I knew my way around. The only time I had ever moved was when I was 2 years old, when we moved across the street (really)…

  • Gradvice: It’s All About Who You Know

    Gradvice: It’s All About Who You Know

    I’ve learned many lessons since graduating from college. I’ve learned that buying a pair of shoes isn’t as important as eating dinner, that keeping in touch with friends is hard and that your first job out of college isn’t always as amazing as you think it will be. But the biggest and most important lesson I’ve learned is that networking is the key to success.

  • Shopping for Sex Toys 101

    Shopping for Sex Toys 101

    I spent most of my formative years manually stimulating myself, but counted down the days until I turned 18 and was finally able to buy my first vibrator. (What? It’s healthier than counting down to buying cancer sticks!) Once my long-awaited birthday finally arrived, though, I realized that I had no idea what to look for.
