This Post Grad Life: Welcome to Hot Mess Central
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Brittany (why yes, I’m beginning this post by talking in third person). Her roommates were Mom, Dad, and cat. She spent all day eating Frosted Flakes and watching The O.C. re-runs and wondering where Benjamin Mackenzie’s career went wrong. She slept deeply and soundly until late hours of the afternoon, wasn’t keeping a healthy social life, and finished a bottle of Grey Goose in six months. Her life was essentially, an embarrassment to all 23-year-olds as well as to the overall post grad society.
Sober Shopping is So Over
Haven’t you heard? Drinking is the new shopping? Or shopping is the new drinking? Or…okay. The point is now you get to drink when you shop.

Havaianas is Making Shoes Now! (Giveaway)
We’re so excited for summer that we’re wearing our bikinis under our down coats and over our long underwear. Because believe it or not, (and the snow last week might make it hard to believe), our favorite season is right around the corner. No more classes, no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks! Just a carefree summer full of awkward tan lines, crazy internship bosses, short shorts, and super cute sundresses. And nothing goes better with your summer wardrobe than cool, new shoes. And guess who is making cool, new shoes…HAVAIANAS!
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Kelly Osbourne is Breezy and Beautiful
So, her rock star father gets an MTV reality show where she gets to be a bratty, gothy, embarrassing teenager in front of millions of people, falls into oblivion after the show is cancelled, stays there for a few years, loses weight, learns how to apply makeup, goes on Dancing with the Stars…and is suddenly a red carpet staple?

Web Spy: Jog.fm
When you work out, listening to music is an absolute necessity for keeping your concentration and motivating you. I usually make playlists on my iPod to listen to while I’m running or working out at the gym, but I find myself getting sick of hearing the same songs over and over again, and creating new playlists can get pretty time-consuming.

Sex in the News: Women Love the Uncertainty

Remember the days when John Stamos was best known for his mullet role on Full House instead of Glee? When Leonardo DiCaprio was the teen heart throb from Titanic instead of the guy who stared in the freaky dream movie? When Brad was still with Jen and and George Clooney was the hottie on ER?
He Said/She Said: Forgive a Cheater?
My biggest fear in life (besides falling down the stairs in a lecture hall) is finding out the person I love is a lying, cheating bastard. I truly believe there is nothing worse than cheating. I mean, what’s the point? If you wanna get it in with someone else, why not just grow some balls, dump me and live happily ever after (with 3 STIs….) with that skank?
Tuffy Luv Says: He’s Telling You He’s Not Into You
Dear Tuffy Luv, Last semester I met this guy and we started hanging out a lot. We were never officially together, but he was my first everything and we had a great time for a few months.

I made the mistake of assuming he was with me exclusively, and kind of freaked out on him when I found out he had been with other girls and still had contact with his ex who he had been with for years.
Casual Sex Goes Viral
So it’s no secret that the world of online dating has become increasingly more common. In fact 1/5 relationships now starts online. (At least that’s what Match.com claims.) I can understand the need for a way to sift through those less than stellar companions in the hopes of finding someone you can actually connect with. What I can’t understand is the need for a social networking site that is geared towards pursuing casual hookups.

Honey removes dirt from pores and dead skin cells from the surface of your body, while yogurt is an incredible moisturizer.
