Sundays Are For Procrastinating: People Reading Celebrity Tweets
One of the best things about Twitter is that people can pretty much say whatever they want. While this can backfire if you say something stupid, it’s hilarious when celebrities do it.
To Read for Class… Or Not To Read for Class
When I began my freshman year of college, I was overwhelmed to say the least. I was overwhelmed from meeting so many new people, overwhelmed by how sinfully delicious the late night food scene was, and overwhelmed by the workload. All of the sudden, I was getting numerous weeknight texts from people about amazing parties.

VICE Covers Full-Figured Fashion Week
Full-Figured Fashion Week? I didn’t know it existed either, but good thing! VICE is running an eight-episode series called Fashion Week Internationale that will “document the most implausible and outrageous fashion weeks around that world, that you’ve probably never heard of.”
Intro to Cooking: Mini Halloween Cheesecakes
I have two nephews under the age of three, and for Halloween I wanted to make them a treat that was as cool looking as it was delicious. While perusing my weekly stash of cooking and baking magazines (which may include housewife-y home magazines as well…don’t judge me), I found a recipe for mini cheesecakes with a spiderweb design on the top.
CC Beauty Live: Blushing For Breast Cancer
Just because October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, is coming to and end doesn’t mean that breast cancer awareness is. I think awareness months are fantastic, but people often forget the cause after the month is over.
I Can’t Keep Up With All The Kardashians
As if we haven’t wasted enough time watching the Kardashians, Kendall Jenner has been greenlit for her own Sweet Sixteen special on E!. This is not a drill. I don’t know about you, but I thought Kendall was older than that given the fact that she has a lot oversexed photo shoots.

One Month Challenge: Apple-Pumpkin Fever, Week Four
This week might have been the hardest. I’m totally eating my own words when I say this but it is not okay to eat pumpkin and apple combinations every day for one month. That is 30 days of the same thing. What the hell was I thinking?
The Stupidest Horror Movies Ever
I saw Paranormal Activity 3 last weekend, and I loved/hated it. I hated how sweaty my hands got, but I loved how suspenseful it was. But some horror movies are not so good.
The Greatest Super Bowl Halftime Show to Date?
Possibly. Rumors about the next NFL Super Bowl becoming a Monster Ball have officially been squashed: who in music can upstage Lady Gaga at the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show?
Saturday Flashback: Book Club
With all the reading we’re assigned in our college course load, it’s hard to remember a time when reading was for fun. As kids, we were given the freedom to chose what book we wanted to write a report on.
4 Easy Last Minute Costumes
If you go to a school that likes to follow the holiday calendar a little more closely, you’ve probably only celebrated two nights so far. But even two nights is a lot for one costume. Let’s face it, you can’t squeeze into that sweaty, beer-stained, make-up covered costume one more time.
Nicole Richie Asks Girls Not to “Dress Slutty” This Halloween
It’s finally here: Halloweekend 2011. And though many choose to witty, creative or innovative with their costumes (like building a fully-functioning digital camera costume), most choose to simply…wear less. But Nicole Richie is not okay with that option.
Confessions of a CC Intern
Being an intern is fun. This is probably only the second time in my life I’ve worried about people actually liking me. The first was my first day of college. If you’re wondering why I didn’t say kindergarten, think back to your playtime-obsessed self, your mom doesn’t leave you saying, “Make lots of friends, honey.”
Shows You Weren’t Allowed To Watch Growing Up
Looking back at old TV shows, I can’t help but notice how some kids’ shows were able to air. Obviously as young ones, we didn’t catch on to crude humor.
