    5 Spring Trends I Have to Have

    The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. And I’m finally able to put the big winter coat away. It’s time for iced caramel macchiatos and driving with the windows open and the music blasting. It’s time for spring. Well…almost. For me it won’t quite be spring until I’ve done my spring shopping.

    WTF Friday: We Have a Winner for Worst Mother of the Year

    Didn’t it totally suck when your mom used to make you practice piano and do your homework and go to bed early on school nights!? And you were all like “you’re the worst mom in the world, I hate you!” Well, NEWSFLASH, you were wrong.

    LiLo’s Got a Foolproof Plan To Turn It All Around

    The threat of jail time (again) is looking pretty inevitable and Lindsay’s been doing everything in her power to turn her life around – including an attempt to quit smoking – but nothing seems to be helping.

    Friday Faves: Surviving the Post-Hookup Reunion

    One of the most awkward moments in a college student’s life is the reunion; you know, the run-in/re-introduction/avoidance that can only come following a random hook up. It is one of the many moments in college that we try to avoid, this one being up there with “hangover for an exam” and “beer poop in the library.”

    Jersey Shore: Another Summer Comes to a Close

    After seeing previews showing Snooki doing cartwheels and JWoww and Roger having ‘the talk’, I can’t even tell you how excited I was for last night’s season finale of Jersey Shore. I planned my whole night around it. I skipped yoga to be home to watch it. Hell, I skipped $1 beer night! And what did I get in return?

    Guys Who Rock: Steve Ertl

    Watch Steve Ertl guy sing. If he doesn’t steal your heart by the pure sound of his voice, then we don’t know what will. Talented, charming… What else can a girl want?

    I Went to My Safety School… And I Love It!

    I am a brand name brat. I’ll admit it. When it came time to look for colleges junior year, I knew that I had exactly three criteria: small, private, in the northeast. Not only did I think that these criteria would lead me to my dream education and job (let alone dream hubby), I thought that it was exactly what I wanted.

    Fashion Porn: Pretty in Prints

    I love me a bold print, so I’m shakin’ in my leopard maxi dress over the variety of fabulous prints coming at us this spring (if it ever comes). There are so many prints to choose from: animal prints, prints of animals, florals, abstract, paisley, tribal, stripes, polka dots and any other design you could possibly imagine.

  • Stripper Shoe or Designer Heels?

    Stripper Shoe or Designer Heels?

    There’s been a reoccurring trend in the fashion world lately. Shoes are getting higher and higher these days. Three inches? Four inches? Five inches? I’ve even seen six inch heels that are now considered chic.

    Answers to the “Why Should We Hire You?” Question

    This is another broad interview question that can take you down the wrong road unless you’ve done some thinking ahead of time. This question is purely about selling yourself. Think of yourself as the product. Why should the customer buy?

    Women’s History: 9 Inspiring Women 50 & Beyond

    In honor of Women’s History Month, CollegeCandy has decided to spotlight some of the world’s most influential women. First, naturally, we focused on the women from our generation. Then, we highlighted some fierce females in their 30s. After that we celebrated the phenomenal women in their 40s. And now we’re cheering on the women who inspire us to be our best selves every single day. Anything can happen, and just like these women have done in their 50s and beyond, we can make a difference in the world at any age.

  • Should Student Athletes Share in the Profits?

    Should Student Athletes Share in the Profits?

    With March madness at its peak right now this topic probably doesn’t seem like all that much of a stretch to you, but you might be surprised by the direction this topic is going in… Should student athletes be paid?

    Which Jersey Shore Juicehead is the Best Smush in Seaside? [POLL]

    The time has come to put away the self tanner and slow down the fist pumping. Tonight is the season finale of Jersey Shore. Waaaaah (Snooki voice). Season 3 of everyone’s guilty pleasure has brought us a lot of drama, a lot of toilet issues (from Deena’s constipation to JWoww’s public urination to Ronnie’s bowel movements on steroids), and a LOT of smushing.

    Baggin’ Out: Gentle Fawn Fever

    Since the weather is heating up (even in Northern Ontario!), I’ve been on the lookout for cute, summer purses to feature. That means something that I can sling over my shoulder and tote around whether I’m walking along the beach, riding the rollercoaster at an amusement park or out for a night on the town with my gals. And I think I’ve found that in the Gentle Fawn Fever Bucket Bag!
