I’m down for excitement. Spicing things up. Breaking the monotony. Exploring new boundaries. Life is too short to be completely stuck in your ways. But sometimes (or most of the time), I am perfectly content with my routine. I like a certain level of predictability. Once I find something I truly enjoy, I am inclined to stick with it. This manifests itself in me ordering the same few dishes at restaurants, buying certain cuts of dresses over others, sticking to certain brands of shoes, and, yes, the same few sexual positions.

When my boyfriend and I first started dating, we tried a variety of positions to find the ones that we both liked the best. Once we found them, I was way less inclined to be more experimental. And I’m totally okay with it. I like going into sex knowing that I will derive immense pleasure from it. It’s satisfying to know that 99.9 percent of the time, I will orgasm in a certain position, in a certain angle, with a certain amount of thrusting. I like not having to worry about awkward maneuvering because we’re both so familiar with these positions that it comes easily and naturally.

I understand the importance of exploring the various ways you can be turned on, of trying to inject some excitement into an otherwise uninspiring routine. That said, sometimes the reason why you do the same things over and over and over again are because you find them enjoyable and pleasurable, not because you are stuck in a rut. Read More »

Consider your profile picture your viral handshake. Why, you ask? Let’s just say that, like a firm grip, the little image leaves a lasting impression. See the following scenarios to be sure you select the most flattering photo for you.

1. So… You party

Like most people, you enjoy a nice night out. The question is: How much of your party-animal personality should be reflected in your profile picture? To narrow your choices, rule out any photos with red cups and wasted faces. And, before you upload, ask yourself: What would Mom think of this? If it would make her stomach roll, pick a different one.

2. So… You’re in a relationship

We get it: You’re in love. But as cute as you two are, no one wants to see your personal pictures. Make people say “aw”—not “ew”—when viewing your page. This means no profile pictures of you making out with your boyfriend. Keep bedroom play in the bedroom instead of at your friends’ fingertips. Read More »

Got a roommate stealing your highlighters? Or worse, is your roommate stealing from your drunk snack stash? When confronted about the offense, does your roommate get shifty eyes and retaliate by accusing you of shacking with boyfriend (whom you’ve never met and didn’t know existed)? Do you simply have a crazy biatch on your hands and don’t quite know what to do about it?

As if you had any doubt in your mind, CollegeCandy’s got you covered. (Girl, we’re always here for you.)

We’re introducing a new Wednesday video series called Ask a Roommate, hosted by the lovely Marysa (meet her here!). And it’s going to be just that. Take all your burning questions and dorm dramas and email them to editor (at) collegecandy (dot) com.

Dear Dude,

I have been friends with this guy for almost a year now. We met on a dating site when I was living in another state. I was moving to the state he lived in a few months, and his profile caught my attention and we started talking. We become instantly connected. We talked constantly, every day, texting during the day and phone calls every evening that lasted for hours. This went on for about 3 months, until I finally moved. When I moved to his state, I still was 4 hours away from where he lived. Two days after arriving, I drove up there to meet him in person finally. We really really hit it off. I ended up staying up there for two weeks. We had so much fun together and connected and clicked on every level. We did have sex, and great sex too. I didn’t know what we were until he said one day, “Well, this long distance relationship is going to be tough, but I think we’ll make it work.” I took that to mean that he viewed us as in a relationship.

Disney has been embedded into our lives since we’ve been little nugget kittens, playing with sticky Cheerios on our highchair trays like old ladies at a nursing home, watching all of our favorite lady characters become our newest edition of cartoon role models.

So why forget about them completely when college rolls around? I know I haven’t forgotten. In fact, I’ve watched my fair share of Disney throwbacks about um, 80 times, in the comfort of my own dorm room. Most of the time I watch them because I need a mid-week special to soften the blow of a study sesh, or need a blatant yet creative excuse to procrastinate. The main reason I watch them still remains to be the magical feeling Disney movies and their princesses give me. Like I’m going to wake up the next morning in a glittery pumpkin wearing glass slippers…

“A dream is a wish your heart makes…doo di doo di doo.”

I won’t get caught up singing in Cinderella’s honor but I do wonder what each Disney princess would be like if she were flip-flopping her way to the community bathroom with a shower caddy swinging at her side. A dream is a wish your heart makes after an theme party education, am I right?!?

Let’s look into what a college campus would be like with each Disney princess present.

What It Is:

Clarins Color Definition 3D Radiance Face Powder

Why This Should Be in Your Bag:

Correcting powders have always puzzled me. How does a powder, that seems white or translucent when swatched, work to reduce redness, illuminate tone and color-correct imperfections? Well, I’m always up for trying something new and decided that the Clarins Color Definition 3D Radiance Face Powder would be a fun tester! In this particular powder “the beige and peach duo evens and illuminates while the pink and mauve bring a touch of freshness and radiance.”

How To Use It:

Face powder is face powder, and there is no special secret to application, but Clarins does have a suggested use: “Take a small amount of powder on the brush and apply a light veil over the face and neck, for long-lasting, velvety-smooth make-up.” That’s really all there is to it; swirl around a fluffy brush and buff into skin. I like to apply this after all my foundation and other powders.

CC Rating: A+

Like I said, I was skeptical going into this. I didn’t believe that a translucent powder could make a difference to my complexion. Radiance is the perfect word for the effect this powder has on your skin; it makes my skin look like it’s glowing from within! I’ve paid very close attention to my face before and after application of the Clarins Color Definition 3D Radiance Face Powder and it really gives such a soft-focus look.

This compact has the same claims as Guerlain Meteorites, however, I think the Clarins version works a million times better and retails for about half the price. That’s a pretty sweet deal! And not to mention, it’s super visually appealing — a fun, pixelated pattern housed in a shiny golden case.

I can’t find a single fault with the Clarins Color Definition 3D Radiance Face Powder. It’s not an essential item, but it will certainly up the ante in your makeup routine!

How old would you guess I’d be if I had a mini-celebration in my classy little lady heart because breakfast sandwiches were served on my flight into JFK and Justin Bieber’s “Love Me” came up randomly on my iTunes? 11? 15? 18?

I have the mentality of an 11-year-old. But I digress. A week ago–I quit my dream job at an advertising agency and now I’m a flight attendant. I have the mentality of a 55-year-old lady hitting a mid-life crisis without the Porsche.

In reality, I’m 24-years-old, have a well-rounded college education and I’m fully capable of making my own decisions. In which case, I have chosen to behave like it’s 1960 and all I want to do is travel the world wearing nylons and a scarf around my neck…do something crazy and stroll through security at an airport with a flash of a badge to see the world and obtain some adventurous writing material for my Moleskine notebook.

Ah, matters of the heart. Just when we think things are going to get easier, some complications come about and we’re back to square one, trying to figure out where we went wrong. I truly believe that matters of the heart would seems way less complicated if we just let things happen naturally. Too bad I have a brain to go with this heart of mine, and I’m way too practical of a person to leave my love affairs up to chance. If relationships came with warning signs and manuals, the world would be spared of all its heartache. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. So we’re left to fend for ourselves in the battles of love.

Long ago, someone somewhere told a girl that playing hard to get is one of the best ways to boost our appeal, and we’ve been doing it ever since. Well I’m here to tell you all, there is a such thing as playing too hard to get. Playing too hard to get + a guy who likes a chase but doesn’t like to feel like he’s wasting his time on a girl who doesn’t seem interested = you getting left, alone.

Here are some signs that you’re playing too hard to get. Take heed, and in matters of the heart, godspeed.
