My Life As An Army Girlfriend
When I tell people that my boyfriend is in the Army, I usually am met with the same response:
“Oooh really? I don’t know how you do it. I couldn’t be with someone in the military.”
Lusting for Lush Cosmetics
The first time I heard about Lush cosmetics I blew it off as an expensive Bath and Body Works. Little did I know, I would become a fanatical Lush fan. Earlier this summer, for a “just because I love you” present, my boyfriend sent me a huge package of Lush products. (He’s cute, I know.) And now I’ve found something I love more than him: anything and everything Lush.

Weekly Wrap Up: Waiting For Prince Charming
Remember that line Charlotte said in an episode of Sex and the City? “I’ve been dating since I was 15! I’m exhausted! Where is he?” Yeah. That’s pretty much where I’m at right now. I mean, really, between meeting guys who beer bong in the wrong places and giving my number to rather questionable dudes…
Single. And Kinda, Sorta Rational. Sometimes.
It all…it all happened so suddenly. One moment I’m completely single with fewer prospects than an English major (I can say this since I’m an English major), and the next I have a guy friend sitting in front of me saying “I like you. I like everything about you.” And…uh…this is a totally weird a rare phenomenon but I like him too. We like each other at the same time!
Cosmo Says The Darndest Things: September Edition
This month, Cosmo’s Guy Report includes some of the usual brilliant suggestions from staffers, as well as expert opinion (read: random dudes interns found on the street) on everything from tatted up ladies to the little signals he’s allegedly sending us.
The Budget Stylista: Cardi(gan) Hardy
Last week we talked about revamping the essential cardigan from your closet and updating it. But as the old saying goes: “make new friends but keep the old.” So while I’m not discouraging you from busting out that cardigan from sophomore year of high school, I’m also not your mom yelling, “You do not need and can NOT afford that new sweater, honey!”
WTF Friday: Google Is Racist
So, Google hates black people now, too?
WTF?

Celebretard Showdown: Jon vs. Kate
They are all over the media and even if you’ve never seen their show, everyone knows who Jon and Kate are thanks to their very public separation and the battle that’s ensued. They lost a battle to Speidi right here on CollegeCandy only a few short months ago. But little did we know then that soon the couple would turn on one another.
The CC Weekly Weigh In: Trading Places
I’m pretty sure everyone – no matter how content – would give anything (even that coveted slice of drunken late-night pizza) to be someone else for one day. So this week I asked the CollegeCandy writers which celebrity they’d want to trade places with. Who do you wanna be?
Project Runway Rundown: Babies Kinda Scare Me
Ever since that horrible live birth video they made us watch in sex-ed in 5th grade, I’ve been disinclined to anything baby-related. Heidi Klum may look great pregnant, but there’s nothing pretty about a giant head poking out of a screaming woman’s…yeah.
Duke It Out: Girl or Guy Gyno?
One of the biggest obstacles between “tear-my-hair-out terrifying” and “not my favorite thing, but bearable” is finding a down-there doctor you like, trust and feel comfortable around – and not surprisingly, a big factor for a lot of ladies is their doc’s gender.
Candy Dish: Derek Jeter Is Officially Taken
• And his woman is a hottie. Damn.
• This website makes us laugh. Hard.
• Mariah Carey looks…totally freaking weird.
• The 7 stages of being fat.
• Mischa Barton states the obvious.
• Europe hates Madonna.
What She Really Thinks Of… Guy Denim Trends
Now that we’re about ready to trade in our gladiator sandals for boots and our tank tops for, well, tank tops with sweaters, I tried to search the web for other denim trends as a follow-up to last week’s post on bleached jeans. What popped up instead was this:
Fashion Porn: Jean Orgy
Remember back in your pre-college days when the start of school always meant new outfits and school supplies? Even though you’ve probably swapped your notebooks with netbooks, there’s no reason to end the tradition of new clothes for the start of a new year and what wardrobe would be complete without a new pair of jeans? (Or 12.)
How Are You Gonna Die? Do You Wanna Know?
There’s certain things in life that you really don’t wanna know, but you kinda, sorta do wanna know. You know what I’m talking about. Take the calories in a delicious slice of Adam’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake (talk about a mouthful) from The Cheesecake Factory.
The Doctor Is In: I Think I’m Leaking
Q: This is a really gross question, but I have to ask someone. I discharge…a lot. And it’s not just around the time of my period. It’s random and plentiful. Ew. Anyways, I don’t know what to do about it or if it’s caused by something serious? Help. I’m afraid to be with a boy because he’ll be super grossed out.
