‘Tis the season of ugly sweaters!

Whether or not you’re hosting an Ugly Sweater Soiree, RSVPing to one, or thinking about bringing the party to the bar, we suggest you take a look at this post before you head out in search of the ugliest sweater you can find.

For all of us, Ugly Sweater themed parties mean two things: 1. The holidays are approaching faster than we can say ‘finals’ and 2. We (women and men) get to take a night off from gettin’ glam and go out with jeans, a tee and the perfect ugly sweater.

My ideal U.S. comes with shoulder pads, a kitty and a Christmas tree with yarn ball ornaments. So before you head out, scan our list of the top 30 Ugly Sweaters for some holiday party inspiration! Read More »

"A razor? What are you trying to say, honey?

Christmas is fast approaching. (Five days, but hey, who’s counting?) While I’m sure you’ve already picked out the perfect gift for everyone on your list, I bet you haven’t given much thought to what you’re getting this holiday season.

Well…I have.

I’ve taken my favorite Gleek’s (Brittany S. Pierce!) advice and made my Christmas list early and sent it on its way to the North Pole. But I know that even someone as prepared and as considerate as me (making it easy for my parents by adding what I wanted for Christmas to their Amazon shopping carts) will more than likely get stuck with a few bad Christmas gifts. It’s okay though, it’s a burden we all have to bear, so I’ll brave the post holiday madness and head to the return lines.

I just hope I don’t get anything quite as bad as these gifts. Read More »

The holiday countdowns have begun! Most of you are already at home enjoying your first week of winter break (and the rest of you are suffering through that last annoying final). Either way, ’tis the season for holiday gatherings, and I can’t think of anything that goes better with mistletoe, ugly sweaters and egg nog than some holiday tunes.

Some are old, some are new, and some are new versions of the old favorites (Radiohead doing ‘Winter Wonderland’? Hell yes!), but all will put you in a great mood no matter what holiday you celebrate!
