When you’re dating someone new, it’s obviously good advice to be wary of their exes. But since college is a fishbowl, exes aren’t the only type of people you need to be worried about. There’s tons of people who can make your life as miserable as possible or just ruin it all together.

Here are the potential time bombs just ready to mess up your relationship. Read More »

Hey,

My bf has an ex (she left my bf for her previous bf back in primary school days) and they’re best friends, but they live far away from each other. He told me when we started dating he’d rather date her if she were to move to town.

Fast forward 5 months, I have a lot of issues because of that statement. We broke up about it. They send each other kisses and “mwah”s when they chat. I told him I didn’t like it, and he stopped. And I always get upset when he talks to her, I can’t help it.

So started to bad mouth me, and then my bf took her on and she stopped. And she got cross and they stopped talking to him for a month.

He always runs to her when we have trouble in our relationship. I’ve spoken to him about this so much, in an honest and productive manner (I’m a Psych student). And I apologize if I mess up, which I do.

New York Fashion Week (and every other fashion week, for that matter) always unveils new fashion innovations. And this year is no different. As industy “pros” weigh in on what premiering styles they’re excited for, I say, “Guess what, fashion weeks? We don’t need these crazy, new high-fashion designs!” We have the old ones.

These past innovations are taken for granted now, but they still remain a college girl’s best friends. I can’t even remember how I lived before… Read More »

What It Is:
Illamasqua Cream Blush in Rude and Laid

Why This Should Be in Your Bag:

If you’re a regular reader, you know by now that blush is one of my favorite makeup products. It instantly brightens your complexion and gives you a flush that boys can’t resist. Not that you’re putting on makeup to attract boys; it should be because you feel more confident! Anyways, cream blush is a fun option when you want a more natural look. It melts easily into the skin, giving you a color that appears to come from within, as opposed to powder which can only sit on top of your cheeks.

Illamasqua is a cult British beauty brand that is actually relatively new. Since their start a few years ago, they’ve become known for putting out amazing products with sassy names. I love their powder blush and couldn’t wait to dig into the cream version! Read More »

Experiencing single girl envy

I’m honest. That being said, I’m insecure.

To me, saying I’m insecure sounds a little harsh. It sounds a little wobbly and flaky. It sounds dishonest and awkward. Sometimes, it seems like I’m a little too big for it, kind of like Alice in Wonderland after she ate that piece of crack bread and grew her arms out of a cottage. But I’m willing to believe actually admitting an insecurity of any sort is the first step to fixing it. And I’m very willing to believe that I’m not the only one out there feeling a little bit…emotional and unsure.

Of course there are a lot of things I’m positive and confident about. In relationships, the future, my friends, where my life is going…I am confident and positive that I love to write. I am confident and positive that I am treating my body like a temple (aside from the occasional Sunday morning after a night out at the bars). I am confident and positive that the Lady Gaga’s song called ‘Hair’ makes me feel THIS close to climbing a mountain wearing an 80′s outfit.  I am confident and positive that I deeply love my family, friends, horses, Jesus and Minnesota. I am confident.

But sh*t, I’m insecure too. I never know what I want with relationships. Do I want to make out with this guy at the bar, sleep over at his house and wake up like Sex in the City Samantha and walk out feeling like a million dollars? Do I follow a strict pattern of going on countless dates, letting the guy buy the first meal, wait for a second date, begin intensely dating and wake up for an early special and do it every morning to Maroon 5? Do I have a type? Am I not good enough for him/anyone just because one guy didn’t call me back? Read More »

Getting dumped sucks. The only thing worse is getting dumped with some vague, cliché breakup line. You know the kind – they’re sugar coated, indirect, and straight from a Friends rerun. We can thank TV and movies for offering a plethora of lame excuses to the male population to recycle over and over again instead of offering us the real reason why they are ending our perfect romance.

Sound familiar? Luckily, these lines can be decoded, so grab that pint of Phish Food and read on for some clarity.

You’re Too Good For Me

He thinks he deserves someone better and is attempting to slip out of the relationship without having to do too much damage control. Whether or not he really means it, you probably are too good for him. Read More »

Rashida Jones has a way of taking roles in projects that I truly have no interest in – The Office, Parks and Recreation, any of her movies…and yet, she’s always someone I look forward to seeing photos of. It’s like she has invisible little birds always flitting around her, making sure her hair looks flawless, her makeup perfectly applied, and her aura sufficiently radiant, even in candid shots. Her whole aesthetic is delicate, very feminine, sleek and subtly sexy. Read More »

Ah, pizza. The college delight that never fails to satisfy my cheese cravings and put a smile on my face. But what happens when people try to put a smile ON a pizza using only real ingredients? Pizza art is created! Ever since we found out about sushi art, we just can’t get enough edible fun. While it’s easy to make and gawk over this amazingly delicious art form, the hardest part is definitely giving in and eating it. Check out some of our favorites:
