CC Beauty Live: The Best Invention Ever
I have been waiting to do this review for a very long time, and I can’t tell you how excited I am about my new obsession: My Clarisonic! I’ve been wanting this beauty tool for over a year, and I finally got it for my birthday this month. I have to tell you, I will never wash my face with my hands again.
One Month Challenge: Shopping Ban, Week Four
Finally, the last week of my challenge. I never thought I’d get here without sneaking around UrbanOutfitters.com at midnight to get my window shopping fix (Okay, so maybe I did it once. Or twice.), but here I am. And surprisingly, I’m not counting down until 11:59pm, April 30th with my credit card in my hand.

CollegeCandy’s Guide To Selling Those Books
Campus bookstores suck. They convince you that you need to buy a textbook for $150, and you’ll crack it open on that one day you were bored feeling studious, before realizing your exams are straight from the class notes/Powerpoint slides and you don’t even need that 10 pound eyesore in the first place.
Saturday Read: ‘Will Grayson, Will Grayson,’ by John Green & David Levithan
I am a HUGE fan of John Green! I’ve previously reviewed two of his books, so when I saw that he would be writing with another YA heavy-hitter, David Levithan, I knew I had to get my hands on it. After begging publishers for an advanced reader of “Will Grayson, Will Grayson” (unsuccessfully, might I add), I surrendered and bought myself a brand new hardcover the very day it was released
From CollegeFashion: 5 Job Interview Beauty Dos and Don’ts
As we get closer to the end of the school year, many of us are going on internship/summer job interviews- myself included. On College Fashion, we have already covered How to Dress for a Job Interview and How to Get the Internship of Your Dreams. However, in addition to dressing to impress, your makeup and hair needs to look natural and polished for interview success.
Weekly Wrap Up: It Was a Good Week
Well, the week is finally over, and what a week it was. Where do I even begin? Obviously with the amazeballs Glee Madonna episode. Sue Sylvester is seriously my hero. Then we found this video of ‘Things I Hate’ that made me laugh until my face hurt more than after prom pictures. It was also 4/20 and Earth Day, and I killed two birds with one stone by chowing down on Sunchips.
Gossip Cheat Sheet: Can Anyone In Hollywood Do Anything Right?
When we first decided to do this whole “gossip cheat sheet” thing at CollegeCandy we never realized how appropriate that name would be. There hasn’t been a week that’s gone by since we kicked this thing off where someone in Hollywood wasn’t sticking their _______ in someone else’s ________. And this week isn’t any different.

Single. And Sick Of Talking About Guys
Yesterday, I had a Skype date with one of my old friends from high school. It’s always fun to catch up with random high school acquaintances, but as I hung up after our chat, I was struck by the realization that all we had talked about was boys. That’s it! I heard all about her new boyfriend and how cute he is, and she asked about all of my boy dilemmas.
Happy 5th Birthday, YouTube!
Dear YouTube, Happy Birthday!!!! You may only be 5 years old, but in your short lifespan, you have changed my life forever. You have given regular people celebrity status, and for that, I am forever grateful. You are there for me whenever I need you.
Budget Stylista: Norma Kamali Does Swimsuits on a Budget
We all remember that scene in the first ‘Sex and the City’ movie. You know, the one where Miranda’s hair down there is doing a bit more than just peeking out of her suit. But if I’m being honest, when I first saw the movie I didn’t even pay attention to that extra “collection” south of the border. For all I know, there could have been dread locks coming out of there because my eyes were glued to her amazing, fabulous, please-can-I-have-it-NOW Red swimsuit.
WTF Friday: Tramp Stamp, Meet The Crack Stamp
Oh, I see what’s happening here. Because fun little artwork is much cuter and classier than your giant crack hanging out of the top of your jeans. And it draws way less attention.
My Name Is Jess and I’m a Social Media-holic
BREAKING NEWS. A study done at The University of Maryland shows that students are addicted to social media.
….Wait a second, we needed a study to prove this??
The CC Weekly Weigh In: Things We Hate
After watching this video around 14 times over the course of the week, three things have crossed my mind. 1. Uh – yes! – I hate that cardboard sh*t on the DVDs, too. 2. So that’s the one person in the U.S. who purchased Sorority Row? 3. What sorts of things do I hate enough to rant about in a YouTube vid?
