[Sarabeth here, back with some more jams to add to your iTunes library! Every Wednesday, I'm bringing you music suggestions - could be something new, old, hugely popular or fairly unknown -  to awesome-ify your  collection.]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww sh*t! Musical talent doesn’t always have to come in the form of amazing voices. Sometimes great and hilarious lyrics (and an outlet on one of the country’s most well known shows) is all you need. Hearing “I’m On A Boat” this weekend at the bars just reminded me how awesome The Lonely Island is. And because I simply can’t wait for their 2011 album, I’m giving you Incredibad.

About the Band:
The Lonely Island is more of a comedy troupe rather than a band, consisting of Andy Samburg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer. While most people know them from SNL, these three have been making people laugh for way longer – since junior high school. Read More »

What It Is:
New York Color Smooch Proof 16HR Lip Stain in Persistent Pink

Why This Should Be in Your Bag:
Like most girls I know, my collection of lip products is overflowing. I have more lipsticks, glosses and colors than I can EVER possibly use up. However, one department I’m lacking in is lip stains. I’m not exactly sure why, but I only have a couple and can’t say I reach for them very often. Most disappoint me with their less-than-stellar wear times and boring finishes.

But, I’m always willing to give a product a second chance. New York Color says that their Smooch Proof 16HR Lip Stain gives “a sheer to intense flush of color that sticks around longer than most guys in the City.” The packaging makes the product look like a more baby-pink shade, when in reality, I would deem this a true, natural pink.

Balance is really a simple science: if you have a scale and you put a brick on one side and a feather on the other, the brick is hitting the floor. I learned that lesson long ago and try to apply it in my everyday life, even when I’m making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich; if I don’t spread my peanut butter evenly enough on my piece of bread, and lay it on too thick on one end, I can barely get through it without gagging or being completely repulsed by its sticky and overwhelming existence.

But let’s talk about balance in my real life, yes? I mean, I could talk about peanut butter and jelly for days but in this case, the peanut butter is me and I’m just trying to spread myself evenly against the Wonderbread of life. Whoa, did I just go there? Yup, I did. I compared my life to PB&J. And I’m totally OK with that.

Lately, I’ll be honest, I’ve been finding it excruciatingly difficult to balance my personal life and spread myself evenly across everything I feel I need to do. I understand I can’t be good at everything (I learned that when I auditioned for choir….), but when it comes to balancing what’s important in my post-grad life, do I have to have to pick only one of the five things I want to excel in?

There are three things I need for a good party night: a few shots of cheap vodka, a cute outfit and the perfect party companions. And I’ve done a good job rounding up the three, if I do say so myself. Like most college girls, I’ve perfected the art of the party and have plenty of Facebook photos to prove it.

But after awhile, anyone would get sick of Mohawk vodka, the 27 cute black tops in her closet and dancing to the Black Eyed Peas with the same people over and over again. I need something to spice things up a bit, and nothing is spicier than some celebrity wingpeople. (Besides Tobasco sauce, which is not a good idea for a shot. Just trust me.)

So who would I want to share a fish bowl with? Here are the 10 celebrities guaranteed to be a good time:

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities (like super sexy Cameron Diaz) are spending $5,000 and more on an ensemble, you an spend way less...and save the rest for Margarita Mondays.]

Kate Moss is ridiculously beautiful, not easy to relate to, and more than a bit troubled…my favorite kind of celebrity. And one of the few celebs whose casual style is perhaps even better than her red carpet looks.  She somehow makes the simplest outfits look totally haute couture and runway ready.

5 relationship red flags you can’t ignore

How to know things are getting serious in your relationship

If there’s one song that more or less sums up the entire premise of Glee, it’s Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.”  All the key messages of Glee are addressed in the most succinct way possible in this radio-ready song: self-love, equality, free will, and acceptance of others. Both the song and the show are basically a great big “eff you” to xenophobia of all kinds.

So naturally, covering “Born This Way” on Glee demands special treatment: not only was the episode titled after the song, it was also a supersized ninety-minutes long – so I sat down with my Super-sized Slushie, anticipating something absolutely epic.

…and for the most part, “Born This Way” delivers the goods.  Last night’s episode had powerful moments for multiple characters, some fantastic numbers, and even a plot twist that genuinely surprised me.  So let’s get to it, shall we?

At the heart of the episode is a big decision for Rachel – after Finn breaks her nose (not a lover’s quarrel, it was totally an accident) she has a choice to make: fix the injury and go on with life, or trade in her signature shnozz for a petite little nose.  Much to the Glee Club’s dismay, Rachel decides to ask her doctor to make her nose look just like Quinn’s.  An entire debate is sparked: what’s the best way for a person to live: by altering imperfections, or by choosing to accept them?

Another character who faces this question in her personal life is Emma.  Will encourages her to seek help, but Emma says that she’s content with her disorder.  Still, their conversation inspires Will’s next lesson plan: he’s going to have the kids sing songs about loving themselves, culminating the lesson with a group performance of the anthem for self-acceptance: “Born This Way.” Read More »

[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, Facebook…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like Fellow Up, Swap.com and LiveProfile) and more showing up every day! We get it – it’s not easy or fun sifting through the crap and porn to find those gems, so we’re gonna bring the gems to you. Just sit back, kick up those feet and allow us to introduce you to the diamonds in the internet rough.]

I’ve always been a food lover, but it wasn’t until I moved out on my own that I really developed a fondness for cooking. I’m still only a beginner, so I love trying out new recipes to practice my technique. Lucky for be, the internet is a wealth of information and I’ve discovered tons of great recipe sites on the web — but recently, I discovered one that puts all the others to shame: Foodily.

Foodily (the “-ily” stands for “I love you”) is, according to the site, the largest recipe network on the web. You can access all these recipes by searching for recipes themselves or simply by typing in certain ingredients you like (and/or excluding ingredients you don’t like). From there, Foodily will pull recipes from food blogs and food sites like FoodNetwork.com, FineCooking.com, and Martha Stewart and display them in a side-by-side gallery where you can compare recipes by  glancing at the ingredients and prep times.

This season is all about brights, but the color that stands out above all the others this spring is orange. In every shade from pastel orange to coral-orange to fiery red-orange, the color is everywhere and on everything — from sweaters and dresses to sandals, bags, jewelry and more!

Orange is great worn on its own or with any of neutrals in your closet, like brown, denim blue, or black — but it looks especially fresh in the warm-weather months paired with lighter colors like khaki and white. If you’re feeling especially bold, try pairing it with other brights, like yellow, turquoise, or hot pink (it’s easier to pull off than you think)!
