One Month Challenge: Get Clear Skin, Week 4
As this month comes to an end, so does this year and this challenge. To say I finished triumphantly would be a lie. This past week I have been depressed about a number of things, mainly this blessed holiday season. With that depression and added stress, I have broken out horrendously and I have been picking a lot.
New Year’s Day TV Marathons That Will Make Your Hangover Go Away
After all of that fun, you will probably wake up on News Year’s Day with a monster hangover and a list of resolutions you made while you were drunk (“Grow Tentacles”). So order a pizza, and sit down to watch some TV because what else are you supposed to do while you’re hungover?

How to Make Cake Balls [Photos]
Forget the cupcake, 2011 was the year of the cake ball. The little tiny ball packed with cake and frosting and covered in chocolate. It was like heaven came to earth and decided to rest in my mouth. Seriously they’re that good. And now, you can make them at home.

Mara Wilson is Back…and She’s a Blogger!
Mara Wilson starred in so many great ’90s movies that are still aired every other weekend on TV: Matilda, Miracle on 34th Street and Mrs. Doubtfire. I mean Matilda?! I can’t even tell you how many hours I wasted trying to move things with my eyes. And then as quickly as Mara Wilson entered my life, she was gone.

The Top Rules of The Single Girl Society
Over the past year, I’ve shared over 50 lessons that I’ve learned in my single life to remind you that being single is more than a table for one (even when you’re eating a meal portioned for two), or going dateless to you’re cousin’s wedding — it’s a way of life. Here are my top 10 favorite rules to live by while you’re single.
Just Another Dating Horror Story
At the beginning of the semester, I developed a crush on a cute, quiet guy that worked in the same office that I did. He was the strong, silent type – he didn’t say much but I definitely noticed him. After some gentle chiding from my friends and coworkers, I flirted with him. Hard. It seemed like he liked it, though!
Russell Brand is the One Who’s Getting Away
Looks like Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry. A little over a year after they got married in India, it’s shocking to see that Russell is the one pulling the plug on their relationship. Not only was he starry-eyed in love with Katy (and telling everyone who would listen), but he also got the better end of the deal in this marriage.
Budget Stylista: Flares
Flares are a big trend this fall/winter, which is surprising as they’ve typically been a spring hit. This denim cut can add length to any height and looks good on any body type. Now that skinny jeans have become so common — they are a staple in almost everyone’s wardrobe — Stylistas are seeking a less skintight alternative.
Lady Gaga’s Boyfriend Looks Surprisingly Normal
If you close your eyes and picture Lady Gaga’s boyfriend, what comes to your mind? A centaur? A headless ghost? The entire cast of Ru Paul’s drag show? Well your mind is wrong because vacation photos are out and he looks like a real live human man.

Here at CollegeCandy, we like to celebrate the end of the year with a little toast to ourselves and all the work we’ve accomplished over the past 12 months. It’s kinda like the way you look back on your year and recap your favorite hook-ups from 2011: all the best kisses, the best one night stands, the men who shook you all night long….Sure it’s cocky, but everyone does it, right?

Friday Faves: The Most Annoying People at a New Year’s Eve Party
New Year’s Eve…you either love it or hate it. True, it doesn’t usually live up to expectation, there’s never been a year that everyone makes it to midnight, and you don’t always have someone to kiss. But there is champagne…God, is there champagne. But despite all the inherit glitz and glam that comes with ringing in January 1st, there are still those few annoying people who manage to ruin your night…
Emo Brangelina Want to Know What You’re Doing New Year’s Eve [VIDEO]
If Brad and Ange — with their multicultural brood, gorgeous looks and endless swagger — are the regular person’s be all and end all of fabulosity, then Zooey and Joseph (Zoeseph?) are the emo kid’s equivalent. The whiney voices, the thrift store grandma sweaters, the depressed sighs.
New Year’s Eve: Expectations vs. Reality
The truth is, New Year’s Eve is never what we expect. Like the ball that drops in Times Square, New Year’s Eve is usually insignificant and overrated.
