Adult Things to Buy for Your New Adult Apartment
We’re all kind of in that limbo stage or the words of Ms. Spears, “Not a girl, not yet a woman.” But this notion does not stop me from dreaming of days when I live in Downtown Chicago in my very own amazing apartment with grown-up stuff everywhere such as candles and plants. When people come over for dinner parties, they will walk in and gasp, “Katie! Your apartment is so…adult!”
Things We Wouldn’t Suggest Hiding in Your Underwear
The “underwear bomber” was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday. We’re glad that no one was harmed in his attempted attack, and that justice was served. But we just have to say – he hid the bomb in his underwear? Ouch! Your undergarments are not a great place to store things. Here’s our list of 8 more things we don’t suggest ever hiding in your underwear.

8 Ways To Be a Hot Mess on Fat Tuesday
Fat Tuesday is rapidly approaching! This means we need to sew all our wild oats before Lent starts. Most of us probably won’t be able to make it down to Louisiana on February 21st to party in the French Quarter with the rest of New Orleans, which is why I am here to help you out.
All Men Are Dogs!
All men are dogs. No, no, this is not an I’m-a-single-girl-who-hates-men post. Actually, I like guys. A lot. Maybe too much? And I like dogs, too! So hear me out. The 2012 Westminster Dog Show led us here at CC to a revelation. There are lots of different types of men. And they’re just like dog breeds! Don’t believe us? Check out these precious pooches and tell me they don’t sorta remind you of someone…
Things I Really Want to Write On Your Facebook Wall But Can’t
Although Facebook has dramatically changed the rules of social interactions, there are some things that are still not allowed. This includes writing certain comments on certain people’s walls. As much as I’d like to tell my crush how much I like him, that sort of thing has yet to be deemed socially acceptable (unfortunately). So, instead of writing these comments on my Facebook friends’ walls, I’m just going to post about it…
The Dos and Don’ts of PDA
PDA is kind of a touchy issue (see what I did there?) because people have very different ideas about what is appropriate. Think you need a little guidance? We’ve sorted out what’s A-Okay and what’s a little questionable when it comes to sharing the love in public.
7 Places Kanye West Probably Was Instead of the Grammys
One of the first honors given out was for Best Rap Performance, which Kanye West and Jay-Z won for their song “Otis.” But he wasn’t there to accept the little golden statue. All said, Kanye won four awards last night, bringing his career Grammy total to 18. 18! We would think he would want to be there to rub that in everyone’s face. So where was the elusive Mr. West?

The Weekly 10: What to Do When You’re Alone
I love being alone in my apartment. I love it so much that after two years of living with three roommates, I decided to move into a one bedroom with ZERO roommates. Since moving in, I’ve had a lot of time to myself. At first, I didn’t know what to do with that time, and sometimes I would just pace around thinking, “What am I supposed to be doing?” The answer to that question is, “WHATEVER I WANT TO DO!” I live alone!
10 Albums We Can’t Wait to Hear This Year
If there is one thing I love about a new year (it’s still January, so it’s still considered new), it’s new music! Some of the artists that I’ve listed below, have kept me waiting/hoping/praying for years for them to release new full-length studio albums. I am getting antsy! From John Mayer to JoJo, there are tons of new albums that are rumored to being released in 2012, and I cannot wait.
The Weekly Ten: Laugh a Little
I bought a day-by-day calendar all about being assertive and basically saying “No, thank you” more (but without the ‘thank you’ part). And by “assertive,” I mean it’s filled with hysterical quotes about how it’s okay to be super-bitchy, because we all have those day/moments/weeks/lifetimes…when we need to insert an extra NO! into one thing or another.
Battle of the Boy Bands: ‘N Sync vs. Backstreet Boys

8 TV Shows That Should Have Drunk Hosts
This week, Pat Sajak admitted that he and Vanna White used to party pretty hard in the classic days of Wheel of Fortune. In fact, he said that they used to tape the show drunk, after drinking “two or three or six” margaritas. Pat and Vanna, we here at CC salute you. I mean, really, how else could you get through hosting a show like that?

#ThingsThatAreSexy… According to Twitter
Today, #ThingsThatAreSexy is trending on Twitter. And I learned a very important lesson from this educational hashtag. Basically, whatever you might wear, do or say, someone in the world (or at least on Twitter) will find it sexy. Really. There were some sweet ones, some funny ones, and some just plain weird ones.
