I’m a huge supporter of summer. The bonfires, day-long beach trips and kiddie pools out back — they’re all are home to me…which is why I’m a little confused. I should be rejoicing that the 80 degree days are extending past labor day. Instead I’m left wishing the leaves would start changing, hoping that my pants can move back to the front of my closet, and even wearing sweaters to try to force the hot weather out. Maybe it’s the overload of pumpkin spice lattes (my new legal drug addiction) but I am lusting after fall this year.
In my mind, fall seems like it is the perfect season. The weather is that cool, not too hot, not too cold temperature. It’s crisp enough to wear a sweatshirt, but not cold enough to wear a bulky coat. You can still go for your usual walk, without sweating profusely..it’s pretty great. Blame it on the adorable trench coats, early arrival of in season drinks..whatever it is, I’m so ready to start rolling around in piles of leaves:
1. Leaves: Fall is one of the seasons that makes me so glad to live in New England, they make my three hour drives to Maine a little bit better.
2. Not shaving: I’m Italian, so I was not graced with the ability to shave every other week, let alone every other day. So I am pumped to not have to be in shorts every day.
3. Fall Festivals: I love summer carnivals, but nothing beats walking around in the crisp air, eating your carmel apple, while walking to the ferris wheel with your friends. Read More »

[Everyone’s got a morning after story (some of which include less than stable lofts) and we wanna hear yours! Send it over to us and we’ll post it – anonymously, of course – right here!]
I consider myself a pretty honest person. I’m no Mother Theresa, but I don’t lie, especially to authority figures and people I need things from. Back in my sophomore year, I didn’t exactly live up to this creed and it came back to kick my butt. Hard.
Let’s go back to fall of my sophomore year, when my biggest problems were which Halloween party to go to and how to convince my boyfriend to dress up as a Disney prince. After promising baked goods and undergoing a frantic search for final accessories, we were ready to make our rounds to the nearby apartment parties, ready to wow the crowd with our awesome outfits and get lots of Facebook-worthy pictures. I was on my game, almost.

Hello, doll! As you’re reading this, you’re probably shifting back and forth between Internet Explorer and iTunes as you queue up another power hour for you and the girls, as you get ready for this blessed day of most outlandish makeup and dress, Halloween. Anything goes tonight, so remember to take chances, make mistakes, and look really, really hot doing so.
However, tomorrow morning, reality will set in. It breaks my heart, but you will discover you are not actually Lady Gaga, and you do have a term paper due on Friday. And you probably will have a hangover. I don’t think I can help you with the first two crises, but I do have a comprehensive guide to putting that hangover to bed.
Do your morning-after woes make you curse the day you were born? Never fear, there’s a recipe for that, and it’s simple enough not to compound that throbbing headache. Whip up these recipes tonight before going out. Your aching body will thank you tomorrow.
Got a searing headache?
You’re probably dehydrated. All those shots and Four Lokos have a diuretic effect on the body, meaning you lose water. So think like an athlete and grab some electrolyte-replenishing sports drinks to clear up that fog!
The remedy: Buy a bottle of Gatorade and pour it into an ice cube tray. You can place popsicle sticks in the cubes for a treat in the morning (especially nice just to suck on if you’re feeling nauseous too), or use the cubes to make a slushie. Pour them into a blender with some fresh fruit (I like pineapple), and churn away!

Oh Hallow’s Eve, such a wonderful time of the year! Unfortunately, with the candy, costumes and cocktails comes a few less glorious things:
Zits.
Yes, thanks to the mixture of all that costume (or sexy) makeup, smoke, sweat, and no-time-to-wash-your-face-before-you-get-it-on sexy time, your skin takes a serious beating. So just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean you should skip out on your skincare routine. In fact, you should be even more committed to it! Otherwise, you’ll just end up covering those imperfections up with more makeup, which only makes the cycle start over again.
So, ladies, before you head out for your final night of Halloween festivities, I’ve got some tips on how to care for your skin after a big night!
As always, if you’ve got something you want me to cover, post it in the comments below. And don’t forget to check out my other videos right here!

Halloweekend 2010 is finally here, and after a week of warming up between all-nighter study sessions for midterms and all-nighter sexy time, the costumed craziness continues through to Monday morning’s walk of shame.
But in case you haven’t thrown together a simple outfit yet, or if you simply don’t feel like spending all of next week detagging and/or Photoshopping drunken photos, here are a few CC-approved options to still keep your weekend productive:
Brush up on your 2010 World Series speak. It’s the perfect conversation topic post-Halloweekend (and we don’t just mean with frat boys).
(Try to) plan your perfect class schedule. Just like every other semester, it’s worth a try.
Do something for yourself to cheer you up amidst midterm mania (and these tips are still as effective post-grad!)
Stream “It Gets Better” videos on YouTube. Warning: the onscreen inspiration is addicting!
Stir up enough courage and finally submit that Morning After story. Whether centered around your big boobs or the smaller body parts of others, we’ll take it – anonymously, of course!
Win a free beer pong table! With a steady hand and your incognito camera-phone abilities, it’ll be easy to turn a few annoying costumed college kids in October into your next drinking game in November.
Happy Halloween!

There are few things I love in life more than holidays. Perhaps that is unhealthy, but I do not care. And, amid the holidays that I passionately adore, there are some that rank higher than others. Halloween is one of my favorites. I love the autumnal weather, the unnecessary amounts of chocolate, and having one day to claim “my life is a masquerade” and not be greeted with WTF looks.
I love it so much, in fact, that I have decided to write a poem. Perhaps a sonnet would have been more appropriate, considering the extent of my obsession with Halloween, but an ode was what I came up with. So, read with care and enjoy.

Dressing up for the sake of looking slutty/clever and amazing for Halloween opens a whole new can of worms for surviving a hook up. Besides the fact you may be wearing a wig with a hair bow on it (Lady Gaga) or carrying around a stuffed animal full of black paint (BP Oil clean-up), you have to be well prepared for the small obstacles coming your way (especially if you sleep over at your little buddy’s house after you dressed up as Octomom for the evening). You don’t want to make a total mess out of his bed sheets with your clown paint, or accidentally suffocate him with your Go-Go girl blonde afro.
Hooking up in college is an art. Hooking up in college during Halloween weekend is a true feat.
And that’s why we set up a do’s and don’ts guide for your viewing pleasure. Someone’s gotta look out for you, right? So sit down, take notes, and prepare for the worst most successful Halloween shenanigans yet.
Do: Remove his mask before you leave the party. There’s nothing worse than expecting a Vinny and ending up with a Situation.
Don’t: Let him out of your site. Lord knows there will be a lot of Burger Kings this Hallow’s Eve and you don’t want to end up in a cab with the wrong one.
Do: Wash off the face/body paint before you get into bed.
Don’t: Use his (or your) bed sheets to soak up the red paint you used as ‘Lady Gaga Paparazzi blood’ for your costume. If he wakes up red residue soaked through his egg crate, he may be scratching his chin (and calling 911) come morning. Read More »
