Is Nail Stamping a Yay or a Nay
I remember my first manicure vividly – I was in 5th grade and had just gotten braces, and my mom took me to the nail salon to try to cheer me up. I loved everything about the experience – especially my bright, sky-blue nails.
CC TV Presents Mouthy
In case you haven’t noticed, we’re getting kinda obsessed with our Youtube channel and CC TV. We’re creating new series left and right, as well as special features like our Adobe tutorial. And now we’d like to introduce you to our newest series, Mouthy. It’s a bi-monthly Friday vlog that will cover everything that’s in and hot and trendy, brought to you by the fabulous Morgan Lynzi.

New Fall TV Line-Up: Listen to the Critics BEFORE you Watch
Summer’s almost over and fall’s just around the corner (say it ain’t so!), so while you pack up your plastic bins and gear up for the new school year, just remember that there’s always one good thing about the fall: the new TV line-up. It’s finally that time of year when the channels stop playing re-runs and start actually showing new content.

Single Girl Society – Breakup Heartbreak Tricks of the Trade
Though there’s no one right path to overcoming the first pangs of heartbreak and its inevitable aftershock, but I can tell you what I’ve done in the past to get past heartbreak and its annoying friend, pain.
Bitches Over Bros: Why Your Dog Is The Best Boyfriend You’ll Ever Have
It’s every girls worst nightmare that she’ll grow old with seventy cats and no husband. While it’s completely reasonable to want to avoid this feline fate, the opposite is true of dogs. Having recently adopted a puppy, I’ve found reason to believe that having a furry friend is better than having a boyfriend. They may be mans best friend, but dogs are woman’s best wingman.
Budget Stylista: The Swinging Sixties
So maybe I’ve spent too much time catching up on the season of Mad Men, but I’m currently obsessed with the sixties. Lucky for me, my fav fashion designers are swinging to the same tune, with lots of sixty-inspired pieces flooding down the runway.

Candy Dish: Man Candy
• Make friends with the ugly girls in your dorm because they probably have a hot friend.

• Stop bragging about going to the gym, you’ll just annoy your girl.

• As long as your online dating site profile doesn’t look like this, you should be fine.

• Turtlenecks are stylish and make you look “sleek.”

• No, weird fantasies and fetishes are NOT hot.

• How to become an urban gentleman: say “hi” to your neighbors and buy something from the ice cream truck.
WTF Friday: Playing With Knives
But just when you thought yesteryear held the all the wholesomeness of an Ovaltine commercial, think again. Domestic violence was not a problem, people. It was exploited as a fun, let’s-throw-knives-at-the-kids-for-fame activity! Seriously, take a look at this lady.
We Love Bands With Accents!
There’s something about those dreamy musicians with those cute little accents. Ever since the Beatles invaded the American scene, we’ve been craving the latest foreign musical phenomenon. Do you ever wonder why Justin Bieber’s so popular? ‘Cause he’s small and cuddly? No! It’s because he’s Canadian! Somehow, those foreigners know exactly what we want to hear and they always deliver. Could it be that their music is just better? Or is it those tantalizing accents?! I’ll take accents for $500, Alex!
What’s the Verdict on Jason Sudeikis?
I was watching 7 Minutes in Heaven with Jason Sudeikis this morning and had a revelation: I think I like him. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I didn’t like him before, I just never really thought about him. But you know what? He’s kinda cute. And goofy.
Friday Faves: Men Could Never Walk In Our Stilettos
Most of us have engaged in the verbal debate at some point. Most likely over a game of beer pong, when a guy makes that common assumption that boys are simply tougher than girls. We then launch into defense mode, listing off reasons why women are a hundred times tougher than men. It always ends in the same statement: “well men don’t have to go through labor!”
Dear Dorm Companies: WTF Are Your Thinking!?
If you’ve ever looked through back to school editions of furniture and home decor magazines, they often focus on things you might want to buy to make your new dorm feel super homey and look super cute. The problem is, I’m not sure any of these “dorm furniture” designers have actually ever seen a dorm room, let alone lived in one. Like, I really love this floor to ceiling gilded mirror and the six foot long purple couch you’re showing me here, but I’m pretty sure once I put all that in my dorm there would be no room for me.

My Life As A Vegetarian
Up until I was 19-years-old, I lived my life as a happy carnivore. I ate meat daily, just like most people do. I always preferred a plate of vegetables over a hot dog, but I never really imagined cutting it out of my life entirely. And then I read a book called Skinny Bitch, discovered what apparently really goes on in slaughter houses, and changed everything about my eating habits.
Courtney Stodden and her 51-Year-Old Husband: I Just Can’t Look Away!
The controversial marriage of 16-year-old “singer” (and I use that term extremely lightly) Courtney Stodden and 51-year-old washed-up actor Doug Hutchinson is disturbing on a few different levels. Aside from the fact that Doug is 35 years her senior, Courtney seems to be totally happy and content with giving up her youth and jumping right into serious commitment. I mean, I know when I was 16, I could barely commit to doing my homework.
