    In Our Makeup Bag: WEN by Chaz Dean

    First off, everyone I know washes their hair. Unless you have dreadlocks, I really don’t see why you wouldn’t. However, lots of common shampoos contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate or a variation on this harsh ingredient. Basically, it’s the first ingredient in both shampoo AND plain, old dish soap.

    Senior Files: Top 10 Reasons I’m Actually Excited to Graduate

    Over the past few months, I’ve written a lot about how nervous I am to graduate, to leave college for good, and enter the real world. I’ve felt scared, nervous, anxious, and every other emotion that comes naturally to a graduating senior.

  • Senior Files: Life Outside the College Dorm

    Senior Files: Life Outside the College Dorm

    Today is May 5th. Many of you are wearing sombreros and chugging tequila graduate in a few weeks, or even days. (Did I just freak you out!?) Thankfully I’m on a college quarter system, so I have one more month of bliss before entering the real world. But still, there never seems to be enough time these days for everything I want to do.

  • Down With Coed Bathrooms!

    Down With Coed Bathrooms!

    There’s an unspoken rule that makes it allowable for you see your best friend’s (or guy friend’s) bare ass in certain situations: a dare, a (drunken) hookup, a music festival, or on amateur night at a strip bar. But in the shower? That might be going a little too far, and one Green Mountain College student agrees.

  • Pretty in Green

    Pretty in Green

    Although I am a firm believer in leading an environmentally-friendly life, I am first and foremost a college-aged woman. And what does that mean? It means I am absolutely unwilling to look ugly just for the sake of the environment.

  • Be a Green Beauty

    Be a Green Beauty

    I love being green. But I loathe the possible side effect of smelling like a blend of hemp and granola from all my green efforts. And I hate when other people smell that way, too. Thus, I have put together a list of the best enviro-friendly bath product companies for ladies. No hemp or granola; only cute, yummy-smelling products that also happen to be good for the environment.

  • 6 Top Secret Facts About Women

    6 Top Secret Facts About Women

    As a group, women do a really good job of hiding our less attractive qualities. We cover up our imperfections with makeup, we squeeze our “winter weight” into some Spanx, and we make our friends take our phones away so the guy we’re crushing on doesn’t know how crazy we really are.

  • The Morning After: A Shameful Shower Story

    The Morning After: A Shameful Shower Story

    Last week, my boyfriend and I met for dinner in Manhattan and ended up going to his friend’s apartment afterwards to hang out. It got pretty late, and one of the roommates said that we could crash in an empty room (the guy who lived there was vacationing in Brazil) if we didn’t want to go all the way uptown in the rain.

    Makeup 101: Summer Scrub Down

    When you’re trying to get in and out of the shower as quickly as you can to head on to bigger and better things, (a.k.a the beach), it can be easy to bypass seemingly unimportant tasks. You probably wash your face, your body and your hair, but do you take the time for proper exfoliation?

    Bikini Line Maintenance Just Got a Lot More Fun

    You know what turns me on? Maintaining my bikini line. Ok, so maybe not (and maybe that’s about the only thing that doesn’t these days….), but I do get a bit rowdy for two-in-one products. You know: shampoo AND conditioner, moisturizer AND SPF, a friend AND benefits…
    And now I can add razor AND vibrator to the list.
