Life After College: Holiday Anxieties
Thanksgiving gets increasingly more stressful for me every single year. If I’m not having nightmares about the stuffing running out before it gets passed to me, then I’m biting my nails over the fact that I’ll have to explain my career to my family sixteen times.
WTF Happened to Prince William?
There’s something that’s been on my mind recently, and I’m hoping I’m not the only one who has noticed. But seriously, what happened to Prince William and when exactly did he get assaulted with the ugly stick? Because with every day that passes, William begins to look more and more like his father, and that’s a genetic battle that he is most definitely going to lose.

We’ve All Been There: Sick In Bed
As you try to rouse yourself out of bed, you feel it. Your head hurts, you can’t swallow and your whole body just feels achy. You walk to the bathroom to wash up, hoping it’s just one of those “I slept with my mouth open” deals; it will go away in a few minutes.
Candy Dish: TTFN, Jon and Kate!
• Goodbye, Jon and Kate Plus 8!
• What do you think of the structured shoulder?
• Nick Lachey is employed.
• What is Robert Pattinson most afraid of?
• Is anyone really shocked by this Hugh Hefner news?
• And this is why you should always leave a tip.
Shop Black Friday in Your PJ’s
Part of me gets butterflies just thinking about racks and racks of discounted clothing. I’ve been dreaming of Black Friday since I woke up over the toilet in a Tinker Bell costume on November 1st; the cheap designer handbags, the plasma TVs, the stops at Cinnabon and Auntie Anne’s to refuel, the high of leaving the mall with all of my Christmas gifts and some money left in my bank account.
Candy Dish: Adam Lambert’s Horny – So What?
• In defense of Adam Lambert’s on-stage BJ.
• Does Emma Watson have a boyfriend?
• Looks like Suri’s picking out her own outfits.
• Kick those bad dating habits to the curb!
• Happy 40th, P Diddy!
• The pics you didn’t see from The Hangover.
Taylor Swift Is Overrated
I like Taylor Swift. I like that she’s sweet and wholesome, I like that she writes her own music, I like that they play her music all the time on the radio so I can turn it up loud when I’m driving and sing at the top of my lungs. I think she’s got awesome hair and love that she doesn’t let her 5’11 frame bother her. I really do like her. But all that being said, I also think the Taylor-mania is getting a little out of control.

Are You Prepared For Thanksgiving Break?
Congratulations, freshwomen; you’re almost done with your first semester of college! Finals are coming faster than you can say “blue book,” but before you get there, you have one last big hurdle: going home for Thanksgiving. If you haven’t been home yet during the semester, odds are, you’re excited to see your friends and, though you’d hate to admit it, your family.
Would You Take A Pill To Increase Your Sexual Desire?
Researchers are arguing that a lack of sexual desire may not be caused by the fact that women aren’t attracted to their prospective partners (because men are never to blame for these sorts of things), but that it is a chemical problem in the brain. The drug, then, will work by lowering inhibition through triggering the release of Dopamine, which, among other things, helps stimulate desire.
Wardrobe Wishlist: Summer in The City Sequin Skirt
With Thanksgiving around the corner (I say this with giddiness…pumpkin pie, football, sleeping all day anyone?) the Holiday Season is about to hit full force. Which means my search for the perfect holiday outfit is officially on. The fact that I spend way too much time shopping online means that, of course, I have already found the perfect piece to jump-start this outfit:
I’m Torn: Black Friday
When November 1st rolls around newspapers, billboards and TV commercials are invaded by Black Friday deals. They have you drooling over discounted cashmere sweaters, luggage sets for 65% off and 2 for 1 shoe bargains. My heart races every time a new ad pops up on my Facebook page. Half priced makeup at Sephora? A new TV for cheap at Wal-Mart? A diamond sale at Kay’s Jewelers?
The Weekly Ten: Not Giving Thanks
This week, in light of the upcoming treasured holiday, I started thinking about all the things in my life that I have to be thankful for: my family, the boy, YSL lipstick and, of course, the inevitable huge delicious meal my mama’s going to prepare this week. But that’s all kinda boring. I mean, who isn’t thankful for family? So instead, I decided to count down the 10 things I’m un-thankful for this holiday season.
Body Blog: Burn More Calories in Less Time!
Between classes, clubs, and work, my days start early and end really, really late. My stress levels are so high it’s no surprise I often choose ice cream over vegetables and Degrassi (shh, don’t tell!) over gymming it up. So when I do finally muster up the energy to make it to the gym I know I have to make it count.
