Breaking Rules, Not Roles
Alright, we’ve been through this familiar phase one too many times. There’s that cute guy in your English class, you make eye contact, exchange a few words, and then you call every single one of your friends to fill them in with excruciating details. Then, a few weeks go by, nothing happens, and this routine soon becomes much too unexciting for you.

So…what happens next?
Sippin on Gin and Juice. Sans Gin. For 3 days. Yep.
Fact: on a daily basis the majority of us treat our bodies like crap. Sure we work out, we (try) to eat healthy, we pour over the latest health magazines and shell out dough for cute workout gear. But there is nothing healthy about an existence made up of 3 hours of sleep; daily Venti Americanos; and too many weekends filled with booze, late night pizza and drunkity drunk dip, to keep count.

Jumping Rope Just Got a Whole Lot Cooler [VIDEO]
I’m not gonna lie – when my friend sent me a link to an 8-minute YouTube video last week I was less than thrilled. Was I going to take 8 precious minutes away from Facebook-stalking to watch some dumb video and then spend another 4 minutes feigning interest in it?
Your Finals Survival Guide: Five Tools To Make it Through
Ah, Finals. How I love you. You fall during the greatest time of year and have me reading textbooks instead of drinking Gingerbread lattes and enjoying the holiday sales. You leave dark circles under my eyes and extra inches around my waistline.
Basically, you suck. Big time.
Holiday Gifts For The Beauty Obsessed
There are many beauty freaks out there like me and trust me, we don’t ever get sick of unwrapping new beauty supplies for the holidays! I love the sweet smell of lotions and perfumes, eyeliners and mascaras! Honestly, I’ll take beauty products over another gift card to Bloomies, any day.
Candy Dish: 2009 Was Full of Red Carpet Disasters
• This is just bad.

• Let’s put an end to camel toe!

• This is why birth control exists.
• Who the eff is styling Rihanna these days?
Weekly Wrap Up: No Boys Allowed
Oh, boys—can’t live with them, can’t live without them. First he’s joining you for a romantic snowball fight or making you a thoughtful, handmade gift, then he’s holding your sexy pictures hostage and updating his Facebook status on your wedding day.

Easy, Tiger
By now, the sordid details of Tiger Woods’s first major scandal are familiar to anyone who keeps up with celebrity gossip: the mysterious car accident! The golf-club wielding wife! The alleged mistress, who says that being asked about her relationship to the golf legend is like being asked “to comment if there are aliens on Earth”! The whole mess is shaping up to be the biggest tabloid story this side of Jen, Angelina, and Brad.
Single. And Successful Nonetheless, Disney
I was a huge Disney princess fan growing up; I had the Sleeping Beauty sleeping bag, I dressed up as Belle for Halloween…every year, and I even still know all the songs by heart. And can occasionally be heard singing them in the shower.
Breaking News: Ivy Boys are Weird
Yesterday, this post on Jezebel pointed me towards this utterly, utterly ridiculous Times of London article that claims college-bound British ladies are increasingly enrolling in American universities—primarily to meet “Ivy League educated males.”
The Budget Stylista: 10…9…8… (Dresses For a) HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We all know that NYE is the most over-hyped, overpriced, overdressed night of the year. While we are stressed figuring out what slutty halloween costume to wear, we also have to stress over where to go 2 months later. I swear every year two things happen: Christmas music and New Year’s Eve plans come earlier and earlier. And frankly I’m not a fan of either.
WTF Fridays: This Will Make Her Feel Special
Guys sure know how to make a woman feel loved and appreciated. Especially if they spring for the coordinating accessories. Thanks, men!
Are You Ready for the MTVu Woodies?
Thanks to our biffles over at MTV, I was able to go to the MTVu’s Woodie awards. What’s a woodie? Oh, please. Don’t act like you don’t know. The Woodie Awards is only the coolest, most underrated award show ever. MTVu brings my favorite coffee shop jams and booty shaking music together and rewards them with an awkward wooden statue.
