The Weekly Ten: Amp Up Your Monday
It’s Monday. It’s 9 AM. I really, really hate my life right now. The week ahead of me has nothing but schoolwork, actual work, an overwhelming TV schedule, events and encroaching cold, rainy weather. I wake up late on Mondays (okay, almost every day). My shirt might be on inside out, but who knows – my eyes are too bleary to look in a mirror.
In Our Makeup Bag: Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense
Pigmented lipsticks can really take a look up a notch. Whether it’s a perfect, everyday pink or an sultry red, every girl needs a couple great colors in her arsenal. Make Up For Ever’s new line of Rouge Artist Intense lipsticks are “formulated with 50% more pigment than the traditional lipstick…[and] gives an immediate, true-to-color result.”

Tuffy Luv Sez: Friends With No Benefits
Dear Tuffy Luv, I have found myself in a tough situation. My best friend of three years recently sent me a Facebook message out of the blue telling me that she no longer wishes to be friends or in contact with me. Her reasoning was that being friends with me causes her “too much stress” and she has been thinking about it “for the last two months.”
Friday Faves: Major In the Man-Hunt
Your cell phone alarm is going off in your ear to the tune off She Bangs by Ricky Martin, inducing the hangover you worked so hard for last night (note to self: change to something MJ immediately). Your body pillow is the most obliging (and loyal) bed partner you’ve had in months, and the monsoon outside is actually starting to lull you back to sleep.
The Know: Sweet and Salty FTW
To the man (actually, I have a feeling it was probably a woman with PMS) who first decided to mix salty and sweet all in the same bite, I tip my fedora to you. Why we don’t have a chapter dedicated to you in our history books (between the first space expedition and the Civil Rights movement), I’ll never know.
The Morning After: The Bedroom Treasure Hunt
I saw him at my first sorority mixer. He was the social chair of his fraternity and from the moment he checked my name on the guest list, I was in love. He looked dreamy in his designer jeans and flip flops, his hair perfectly floppy. And he knew my name. Well, at least for that moment.
CC Beauty Live: French Side Braid
Braids have taken a turn from that hip, surfer girl look to a sophisticated, romantic style. And everybody’s wearing them. There are so many fun things to do with braids, like the small side braid into a ponytail, the braided bun, the two braids as a headband, and more.

Budget Stylista: Cargo Cute Cute
Military inspiration is everywhere this season. I mean, anyone who reads this website can see that. From t-shirts to jackets, bags to boots, everyone’s getting in on the camo fun. So, of course that means cargo pants are back
Candy Dish: Just Another Reason for Taylor to Go Topless
• Taylor Lautner is in a push-up contest
• 15 signs you’re more than just friends
• Yeah, we all have sex for science…
• Is it bad to friend an ex?
• One of these Dancing Stars is a little old
• The first lady wears Banana Republic
The Morning After: The Surprise Parental Visit
After months of leading me on, the boy I was falling in love with decided to hook up with one of my hall mates. I probably wouldn’t have even found out had I not woken up early that Saturday morning to go for a run…and found him walking down the hall with his shirt inside-out and his shoes in his hand.
Weekly Wrap Up: Is It Time For Jeggings and Pumpkin Spiced Lattes Yet?
Finally, the end of summer is almost here and I couldn’t be happier. Humidity is no longer taunting the frizzy mess on my head and suddenly all my taste buds can think about is one of those pumpkin spiced lattes from Starbucks (accompanied by a Pumkin Loaf).
Friday Faves: Average Sex – Everybody’s Doing It
My mother (yes, my mother) once told me that if there aren’t fireworks between the sheets, it’s just not meant to be. I immediately dismissed this advice, partly because it meant my menopausal mother was having better sex with my overweight father than I was with my supposedly sexually prime bedmate. But mostly, I rejected this theory because I didn’t, and still don’t, think its entirely true.
Sexy Time: No, Thanks.
Sometimes, against our better judgment, we put ourselves in situations that we would rather not be in. Whether it’s too much flirting or too much tequila, sometimes we send mixed signals. One thing leads to another, hands are creeping towards places we don’t want them to go and we realize it’s time to put the breaks on. We need to say no.
Friday Faves: Confessions of a College Cocktail Waitress
Giving up my nights out was not something I was especially prepared to do when I started scouring my college town for a job; who wants to be folding clothes amidst an asthma-inducing Abercrombie cologne cloud late into the evening when your girls are out at $1 pitcher night? Nobody.
Hipster or Gay: Can You Tell?
You see, everyone knows the gays love Manhattan. Don’t roll your eyes. Please, we have Broadway…this is their Mecca. And across the water we have Brooklyn, a mother ship for hipsters the world over. They come in droves, boasting blasé attitudes and a taste for bands you’ve probably never heard of before.
Cosmo Says The Darndest Things: September Edition
If Jessica Alba’s bodacious blow-out didn’t catch my eye this month on the September cover of Cosmo, the giant ‘Untamed Va-jay-jays’ headline sure did. What the hell is an untamed vajay? Seriously, this isn’t the Discovery Channel for body parts, Cosmo. Naturally (pun intended) I was gnawing at the bit to get inside the mag and get reading.
