Coupled. He Loves You, But Will His Mom?
I remember the first weekend I went home with my boyfriend; it was the dreaded “introduce-my-girlfried-to-my-mom-and-hope-they-don’t-hate-each-other” weekend. Matt kept telling me his mom was a really nice woman and that she’d love me, but I was terrified.

Fashion Porn: Purple Orgy
While switching my wardrobe from my summer sundresses to my winter wools, I realized one very depressing thing: my winter wardrobe is more drab and depressing than those dreary January days. If I don’t want to slip into a winter funk (fixed only by large bowls of mac-and-cheese), I need to do something fast.
As The BAC Goes Up, So Do The Stupid Decisions
Every college students Saturday schedule is more or less the same: Waste half the day by sleeping until an inappropriately late hour. Stuff your face at the dining hall. Meet the girls for a pregaming/get-ready session and then roll with the punches as you walk out into the night, flask in hand.
The Doctor Is In: Need a Pick-Me-Up?
Q: I know it’s pretty typical in college, but I always feel tired and lethargic. I try to eat as healthy as I can, but even adding nuts and more protein to my diet isn’t working. I was wondering if you had any ideas of things I could do (specific vitamins/things I should be eating) that will help me feel more awake and less foggy on a day to day basis.
The Know: New Heart, New Snack
f there is one great way to make that old black frock new again it’s with accessories. And if there is one new amazing accessories website to do just that with it’s Old Soul New Heart. This mother/daughter duo has made a brand new spot in my big ol heart. I’m obsessed.
False Advertising: The Padded Crotch
Well, watch out girls, because thanks to Calvin Klein, guys could be packing less heat than meets the eye. Mr. Klein, a man I now presume is packing light downtown, has just introduced a new line of jeans with “body defining fit for an enhanced profile.” In layman’s terms, a padded crotch.

Tested and Approved: The Ultimate Shaving Kit
While we get all this stuff dropped off daily, it is truly rare that I find something new and awesome and totally worth writing about. Because I’m not gonna write about just anything the mailman drops on my desk while I’m out for my mid-morning brownie run. But I recently received a package that intrigued me and has since changed my life. And I not exaggerating.
Candy Dish: Let The Jackson Exploitation Continue!

Sexy Time: You Ready For It?
If you want be having sex, or be having more sex (and, come on, who doesn’t!?) the best thing you can do is make sure you’re prepared. Getting yourself ready for sex will put you in a mental mindset compatible with getting some. And feeling sexy will send out the come hither vibes that will make it happen.

The Rival Rundown: Minnesota vs. Wisconsin
Put on yer best Midwest accent, serve up some hot dish, and grab yer mittens, because this week we’re taking a look at two of the nation’s premier state schools who rival each other in just about everything–but especially hockey. The University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin are both members of the Big Ten conference and the northern region…
Ask A Dude: Help Me Help My Man
Alright Dude, here goes: I’ve been dating my boyfriend for two years now and I love him to pieces. Our relationship is pretty great except there is one thing that is bothering me: his acne. He’s 21 and still has acne all over his face, back, and chest. Understandably, this can be a major turnoff for me sometimes (getting up close and personal with whiteheads isn’t really sexy).
Beer Pong Gets Swined
Swine flu is ruining everything. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t kiss without thinking I’m going to contract the disease of the pigs. And now, apparently, I can’t play beer pong. Officials at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have reported 21 cases of swine flu that they have cleverly traced back to a game of beer pong. One single game!
Smart, Savvy, and Sustainable Shopping
As you may have gathered from my previous articles, I am a shopaholic. Even if I have no money, I can’t help but scour the internet for deals at the online sample sales (seriously, check out Ideeli, it’s amazing). And even though I can’t always buy sustainable products, I still try to buy in sustainable ways.
Why Homemade Halloween Costumes Rock
With only 2 weeks to go until Halloween, there are costumes everywhere you look. Hop into any store and it’s easy to come out with something slutty to wear on October 31st. But finding something original that doesn’t cost the same as a week’s worth of groceries is the hard part. Seriously? $60 for a cheap rayon dress that barely covers my ass? No thank you, Wal-mart.
