Hey ladies. We all love to party right? I know I do. And with partying comes, well, some interesting circumstances. Us girls need to have the proper “equipment” when we go out, don’t we? Here’s my list of the things I never leave home without on my crazy college nights out.

1. Toilet Paper. I don’t know about you but I have had to pop my fair share of squats in the woods on the way home from God knows where. Not to mention, we’ve all been to one too many frat parties where the bathroom looked like something out of a horror movie and, of course, there’s never any toilet paper.

2. Flip flops. Heels make an outfit right?  After several hours out, however, standing (or dancing) on those heels, our little piggies need a break. Throw a pair of comfy flip flops in your bag and, if your feet are throbbing, change ‘em up. You’ll be thanking me latah.

3. Bottle of Water. No one likes a drunk, sloppy puking mess, so bringing a bottle of water to sip in between drinks is a great way to pace yourself and spread out your drinks.

4. Band Aid. You have no idea how many times me or my girl friends have either fallen, sliced a finger, ripped a hang nail, etc. Throwing one in your wallet will save you and your friends tons of trouble.

5. Shout Pen. White shirt. One too many cranberry vodkas. Nuff said. Read More »

I don’t believe it either, but this dress is made completely out of toilet paper. Talk about easy access on the wedding night; just tear it off. As beautiful as it is, though, I feel like getting married in a roll of TP takes away a bit of the romance, no?

When you live in New York City black is everywhere.

People sport in on a daily basis, you’ll see 10 raven-haired beauties before you see a blonde…and I’m pretty sure the city air leaves my lungs a healthy shade of ebony.

So, perhaps this is why it comes as no surprise that companies are picking up on a new trend where “black is the new black”.

Irony at it’s finest? No way! I say it’s revolutionary!

The Japanese (ever the trendsetters) have begun to release black products like there’s no tomorrow. Summer may be the time for white, but black is finally getting its due. For instance? Japanese airliner StarFlyer is outfitting its aircrafts with black leather seats. Some may call it morbid…I call it classy.

Want to talk revolution? How about black toilet paper? It’s a big hit in Europe (what isn’t?) but damn if it isn’t, at the very least, a lovely novelty. Even if you aren’t feeling the dark hue…try out a different color. Okay, so maybe you’re concerned about the TP. I understand. How do you feel about black cotton swabs? Black Nail Polish? Black toothbrushes? Black toothpaste? It never ends! Read More »

Public bathrooms are gross. I am not some freakish germaphobe, but even I realize that sharing a toilet with hundreds of strangers (especially drunk ones) is not fun. Or sanitary. Even if you believe what Dr. Oz (the awesome doc on Oprah) said about toilet seats being pretty clean surfaces, the rest of the situation is not. The floor, the flusher, the tampon trash can that people probably push open with their used….things.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Anyways, I don’t know about you but I know that I am pretty careful when using the bathroom. I lay TP down on the seat before I sit down, flush the toilet with my foot, and never (EVER!) put my handbag on the floor.

But until I saw this new invention, I never even considered the gross factor that is the toilet paper dispenser.

Who knows who/what has touched that thing? And the long strip of paper hanging out from the roll when you get in there? Lord knows where that’s been dangling. I don’t even want to think about it.

Okay, I just did and now I’m getting sick again. Read More »
