Body Blog: We Got Your BACK!
Cardio, abs, arms, lunges, squats, pushups… that’s the norm for most college girls. You may think you’re getting all the important muscle groups in your body, but you’re forgetting the most important one: your back!

Weekly Ten: Snagging a Babe
Whenever you’re out at a party, bar or club, you always seem to spot that hottie. “The rules” tell us that we’re not supposed to go after that cutie in the button down and that they should come crawling to us with a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates. Hello? It’s 2010.
Live Long And Prosper, Nerds
Hello I’m Sammie and I’m a nerd. I may not have a love of Star Trek or Star Wars or Starbursts that includes costumes and fan fiction, but I am a nerd, nonetheless. I am a pop culture and politics nerd. My versions of insane celebrities are Glenn O’Brien and Jim Himes. If I meet these people, I’m reduced to a shell-shocked super loser who can’t stop smiling like Jack Nicholson from “The Shining.”
The Morning After: (Bad) Decision Day
It was time for my sorority’s annual “Crush Party,” where each sister invites as many guys as she wants and we all take a bus trip to a banquet hall. It’s also known as pretty much the biggest drinking event of the semester. Needless to say, my memory became hazy about halfway through the night.
Intro to Cooking: Greek Yogurt (and Fettuccine Alfredo!)
Every health-conscious girl knows yogurt builds stronger bones and is a good source of protein. But did you know that not all yogurts are created equal? Check out the nutrition label on the cups in your fridge–many “light” and fat-free yogurt brands substitute extra sugar and preservatives for fat. For a leaner, creamier, alternative, try Greek yogurt.
CC Beauty Live: Day to Night
Fact: sometimes us college girls spend too long on Facebook run out of time. I know I’ve had several instances where I’ve had less than 5 minutes to get ready to go out, and that’s not really enough time (not even close) to redo my entire look. So I’ve learned to prepare for spontaneous nights out by prepping in the morning.

One Month Challenge: Shopping Ban, Week Three
This week has been 127 times better than last, shopping wise. I’ve been so busy that there hasn’t been much time to dig through F21′s new daily arrivals. Not shopping wise though, stress has been killing me. Exams, term papers, projects… I don’t even see my boyfriend anymore. And I live with him!
Preview: Zac Posen is Right on Target
Well, Target is at it again. Now that the not-so-Gaultier line has come and gone, it is Zac Posen’s turn to take over the racks of Target. Posen’s line won’t debut until April 25th in stores, but we got a super special preview of the collection and Zac has certainly hit the target this time (no pun intended).
Saturday Read: Runaway by Meg Cabot
To be honest, I had never really read much of Meg Cabot’s work. I dabbled in the Princess Diaries series (FYI: so superior to the movies) and I know she is a fabulously well-known chick-lit author, but nothing I saw ever enticed me to pick it up and give it a go.
From CollegeFashion: Fancy Dresses for Daytime
I received a request for a Fashion Challenge focusing on wearing a night-out dress for daytime and thought it would be a perfect topic for this week’s article. I love the idea, not only because I personally love the look, but also because it’s a great way to be stylish on a budget.
Weekly Wrap Up: April Showers Bring May Power Hours
Red cups? Grilling out? Outdoor tippy cup?
I’ll take it. And it’s about time. With graduation looming, college students are taking in the beautiful weather (around a beer pong table) and ending the final semester with an outdoor celebration.
Gossip Cheat Sheet: Bad News for K-Stew and Jessica Biel
Another week, another break up. I’m starting to wonder if there was some sort of memo circulating through Hollywood this month. Seriously, the mayor should really consider changing the name to Splitsville, USA. Yeah, none of us ever expect those celebrity relationships to last too long, but this is getting OOC.
