Dear Dude,

I’ve been hanging out with a guy for a little over three months. We were inseparable almost from the start. When we weren’t at each others’ apartments, we were texting so a day never went by without us communicating in some way. HOWEVER, we were not dating because he “doesn’t date.” We never agreed to be exclusive and only promised to be forthcoming if things got physical with another person (it never did). Every once in a while he would make a comment about how hurt he was by his last long-term relationship and that he wasn’t interested in pursing something like that again. I know that this should have been a huge warning sign but I got caught up in how easy it was just being with him. Also, to make it clear, most of the time he seemed to be really invested in what we had together which always seemed to be a little more than casual sex.

This changed about two weeks ago. Suddenly, it seemed like I was a burden to him. I would come over and he would be standoffish and silent. I was worried that I was crowding him so I’d offer to go home but he always said that it was my choice if I wanted to stay or leave. I almost always stayed because I enjoy being around him and he would eventually unwind and act normally. Read More »

There’s no accessory more essential for a college girl than a cell.  It is THE major form of communication in college and there’s really no better way to make plans,  organize parties and  stay in touch with friends on the go. Oh and how else would you be able to send casual 2 am texts to the person you like? “Oh hey, what are you up to? Yeah, let’s definitely watch a movie right now. At 2 am. Your roommates aren’t home, right?”

Now that being said any phone with talk and text would be sufficient, right?

Wrong-o.

What It Is:
Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette

Why This Should Be in Your Bag:
Concealer is one of my makeup necessities. It can take you from spotty and frumpy to flawless. Seriously, the difference after I apply concealer to my under-eye bags is unbelievable!

Sonia Kashuk is a world-renowned makeup artist who deals a line through Target. The price point is lower than high-end brands, but Kashuk puts out quite a few gems, including the Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette.

How To Use It:

This one doesn’t come with instructions, so listen up! The two top shades (ivory and medium-salmon) are great for concealing under-eye circles, while the muddy green color works on redness (aka pimples). The bottom right translucent powder is for setting all 3 foundations, but has some color, and matches the ivory shade best. Read More »

In my recent post about wasted time and happiness, I expressed my irresponsible tendency to start doing what I want in life.

I’m here to tell you how it’s been going so far (just so you know it’s worth it). Instead of making you wait until all the way to the end of this post, I’m going to preach now. My lovely and selfish decision to do something that makes me happy has been…drum roll…SUCH a relief.  I was so afraid before I jumped the gun on getting my life moving the way I wanted to. But being afraid isn’t going to rob your happiness once it’s over. It’s going to water it. Water it like a bed of flowers.

And you will bloom.

Can you tell I’m happier already?

It’s been two weeks since I’ve turned my life around, quit my job and discovered a new career. My own mother approached me recently with that rosy look on her face that indicated she spotted something about my inner vibes. “Brittany, you are happier. I can tell by your skin. By just looking at you. I’m sorry, but you weren’t looking too good before. You looked…hungover.”

Thanks Mom. But seriously, thanks. If I needed one person to confirm my new-found happiness, my mother would be the right chick. She can tell if I’m feeling unhappy through an email. The woman is telepathic. Regardless of what my mother tells me, I’m happy doing new things. And if I would have known how flighty and gay I feel now, I would have changed things with my life months before. That’s why I’m here to point some internet fingers your way. Read More »

A presentation by the American Psychological Association on college drinking recently released some statistics that may make you spit our your beer: 1. College students intend to drink to get drunk, and 2. College students use alcohol as an excuse for hooking up. Yeah. When I said you were going to spit out your beer, I meant because you’d be laughing with me.

If you ask any frat boy at a party he’d probably have told you these shocking findings, while saving money on the research. He might also then go and give one of his bros a big hug, saying “I love you man,” behaviour if questioned on, he would likely blame on the alcohol. Because, as Jamie Foxx has figured out, it’s pretty easy to blame it on the alcohol. Which college students inevitably do. So, in case the American Psychological Association wants to save some money next time, here’s eight more things college students blame on the alcohol. Read More »

I’ve been obsessed Eva Longoria ever since the very first episode of Desperate Housewives. In addition to her beauty, her comedic timing is impeccable, and she’s always seemed really down to earth and like a total delight to be around (my friends who have run into her in Texas have confirmed this!). She has a low-key style that is sophisticated and chic, with subtle trendy elements popping up occasionally. Read More »

Redheads get a bad rap. Perhaps Carrot Top made one too many of those 1-800 Collect commercials when we were younger (oh, the mental scarring!) and caused an entire society to rebel against their strawberry haired brethren, I’m really not sure. But life as a redhead ain’t easy, people. Really- the freckles, the pale skin, the general hate from everyone else…

Well, that was until Ron Weasley Rupert Grint made it sorta cool again. Okay, so in fairness it took him getting seriously hot for everyone to wake up to the “oh, gingers aren’t so bad after all” realization. But regardless, we’ve come a long way. So in honor of his birthday, we’d like to present you with our favorite red headed celebs. Read More »

As women, we face unrealistic images of female beauty in the media every single day. The images of women we see in magazines are airbrushed to perfection — which is why it’s no wonder so many women have skewed perceptions of their own bodies. According to a recent study, 95% of non-eating disordered women overestimated the size of their hips by 16% and their waists by 25% — but those very same women could correctly estimate the width of a box. It’s this skewed perception of our bodies that leads negative body images and even eating disorders. Read More »
