CC Beauty Live: Indulge In Soap And Glory
Normally, I don’t get really hyped up about drugstore brands because they don’t meet my high beauty standards. But I guess it’s true that there’s a first for everything because I’ve got a new drugstore obsession: Soap And Glory. The pink vintage packaging caught my eye at Target a few weeks ago, and I’ve been in love ever since.
One Month Challenge: Fun with Fitness, Week 2
At some point this week, exercise stopped being something I had to do and started being something I wanted to do. I’m honestly not sure what changed. Maybe it was the physical pain and exhaustion I felt after Irish dancing at a pre-St. Patrick’s Day event last weekend. And then watching all my old friends performing on St. Patrick’s Day, so full of energy, making it all look so easy.

3 Easy Ways to Score Free Drinks
Sometimes being a girl sucks. High heels hurt, cramps hurt, bikini waxes hurt (like a bitch), hell, even skinny jeans hurt. But all that is worth it for one simple reason: free drinks.
Saturday Read: Plain Truth, by Jodi Picoult
For me, March is all about light reading. With my exams right around the corner (including an ominous GRE! – wish me luck!), I spend most of my days buried in textbooks, so when I grab a book for bedtime reading, I am the mood for something to take my mind off of my homework. Jodi Picoult is always a great choice for a stressful time; with each of her books, she creates an entire new world that totally enamors the reader
From CollegeFashion: The 5 Hottest Colors for Spring
Looking for a simple way to spice up your outfits this season? Try adding a splash of color! Spring is the perfect time to shy away from dark, harsh hues in favor of new neutrals, pastels, and brights. These five colors are set to be the trendiest of the season.
Weekly Wrap Up: Midterms. St. Paddys. Spring Break. Oh my.
I can’t believe we are in the midst of a whirlwind Spring Break week. It seems like everyone (but me) is either
A) drinking a cocktail poolside or
B) drinking a cocktail poolside.
The Gossip Cheat Sheet: Breakups, Sexts and Shiloh’s Tie
If you’re not a huge gossiper/have a subscription to every tabloid/read the gossip blogs religiously/understand the issue that is Suri Cruise’s choice in footwear, it’s hard to understand what all your crazy, celebrity-obsessed friends are talking about. I mean, it’s hard enough to tell the Jonas Brothers apart – how does anyone keep up with Britney Spears’ relationship status (are they on? off? on? is she shaving her head again?!)?

Single. And Talking To My Ex
Okay, so last week I was complaining because I was anxiously waiting for this one boy to finally ask me out (which he did two days ago, thank you very much). Now the part of my life that involves boys has become slightly drastically more complicated.
Budget Stylista: Let’s Go Clogging
But then, like all old trends that come back around, I realized the clog came with a bit of a twist. Clogs 2.0 are like Heidi Montag 2.0: Bigger, pumped up and plumped up. And some would even argue, better. These clogs are edgier, chunkier, platform-ier and all around cooler.
WTF Friday: Super Powers
I have no words. None. Can someone try to explain this?
How Did THEY Get Into College?
As I sit in class from time to time, and witness some questions asked that I could have answered in grade three, I am forced to wonder, “how the HELL did they get into college?” I know I am not alone on the dark side of this unsolved mystery. Ivy league friends of mine often share stories of some pretty dull crayons in their boxes as well.
The CC Weekly Weigh In: Inspirational Women
March is Women’s History Month and in honor of that we’ve been taking some time to highlight and salute some female powerhouses that inspire us. There are just so many women out there doing incredible things, which is hard to remember when women tend only to get recognized for boobs (Heidi Montag), sex scandals (Tiger’s “friends”) and weight (Jessica Simpson).

Duke It Out: Super-Seniors?
I know what you’re thinking – no, I’m not talking about really active senior citizens, I think they’re great (go Betty White!) – I’m talking about those people who hang around undergrad for 6 or 7 or 10 years “finding themselves” without ever actually bothering to get a degree.
Candy Dish: Hangover Cures From Around the World!

Coupled. And Getting Older (Together)
For those of you who don’t know me and for some reason wish you knew more, my 21st birthday is Friday. That means no more sitting at home while my friends go to Austin’s famed 6th street, no more waiting in the car while my boyfriend buys booze, etc. It’s time for me to face it, I’m getting slightly older. With this lovely realization makes me realize that I’m not just growing old, I’m growing old with my boyfriend, Matt.
