Breakthrough Beauty Product Award
I have a naturally rosy complexion. This means that using a blush product has basically been out of the question for me due to my face ending up looking like this. In other words, ridiculous and unattractive. No matter what color or brand I would try out, it seemed like blush and myself were a hopeless cause.
Until, I found a new product, Smashbox O-Glow, and it’s amazing. According to the retailer, it is “the first intuitive blush, …
The End of UTIs…With These Tips!
Most likely, if you are a female in college, you have experienced a UTI (urinary tract infection) at some point in your four years. I remember the first time I experienced one was during a double shift while waitressing.
Running to the bathroom every five minutes while trying to wait on customers is not an easy task. For those who have not had one before, you are very lucky.
Until you have had one, you cannot truly understand the discomfort …

Newest Form of Old Birth Control
Okay, I’m pretty sure that the last people to ever use “Sponges” as a contraceptive method were our moms…maybe our grandmas. Well, that might be a little overdramatic. I think Elaine on Seinfeld was the last person to discuss their death on that famous Sponge episode. And seriously, the thought of using a Sponge nowadays is as obsolete as the idea of boy bands making a comeback.
So, it came as a surprise to me when I saw an …
Summer Shape Up: New and Improved “Diet” Food
Long gone are the days of gross, cardboard-like tasting “diet food.” I can remember when the only supposedly healthy alternatives to regular food were things like Slim Fast shakes or meal bars. Ugh.
Beyond the fact that they are loaded with sugars and gross chemicals, most of them taste like absolute crap.
Well, fortunately, many food companies are catching onto the fact that America wants low calorie, natural foods that are actually good for you and make dieting easier.…
Five Friends Every Woman Should Have…Do You?
Oprah tells us a lot of things. She tells us what books to read, how to lose weight, and what items we “need” for summer. Don’t lie, you all watch Oprah every once in awhile. My roommates and I would schedule our afternoons so that we could make it home from classes or work to all sit around the television at 4pm for an hour of O-goodness.
Well now, she is telling us the five types of …
Mr. Skin is a Real Website…Who Knew?
Once again, I have underestimated human nature’s obsession with sex and nudity. My little naive self actually thought that the bums in Knocked Up were the only people who thought they would be able to make money off of a silly website idea featuring celeb’s private parts in all forms. They had a sudden reality check when their hopes and dreams were killed by an already existing site…Well, it turns out that fantasy site is, in fact, a real website …
Avoiding Post-Grad Depression: Extracurriculars
Currently living the post-graduate life in a city 16 hours away from my closest friends and family has forced me to deal with many grown up situations that I would rather not deal with, aka large bugs in my apt, sketchy landlords, and the fridge breaking ten minutes after filling it up with brand new groceries. Yeah, sweet life.
One problem that I would rather not encounter is seeking into depression, or what some may call the quarterlife crisis. And …
One More Reason to “Untag” Facebook Photos
Okay, it’s official, Facebook is officially getting out of hand. Not only do employers use social networking tools such as Facebook or Myspace to check on prospective employees, but now Oxford University has actually used photos as evidence of students violating their code of conduct.
ScienceDaily reports that “fines of nearly $200 are being doled out to students deemed to be guilty of ‘trashing’ fellow students — a practice that involves covering a comrade in champagne, confetti, flour, raw …
Be a Published NY Times Writer in College!
We are all aware that there are a lot of people criticizing college students today. Whether we are called lazy and or entitled, it’s always something, it seems. Well, fortunately, the NY Times is giving college students all over the country the chance to respond.
The New York Times Magazine College Essay Contest website says that, “In the turbulent late ’60s and early ’70s, college campuses played a major role in the culture and politics of the era. Today, …
