It’s been one hell of a week. Literally.

The mixture of heat and humidity outside is paralleled only in Satan’s world, and the frizz ball that is my head makes me think someone upstairs is very, very upset with me.  But, besides all that, I guess the week wasn’t too bad as we wrapped up July, CollegeCandy style.

Our party on Wednesday was nothing short of amazing, except that whole “waking up and going to work the next morning” thing.  (If you missed it, you can get jealous and pretend you were there by checkin out some hot pics here!)

We got some great shopping tips, like how to dress yourself thin (without the Spanx!) and how to get cute stuff without spending too much money. And, most important, how to shop for sex toys. Between a new wardrobe, the smoking hot fall makeup trends, and adding that 6 minute workout into your day (while listening to the awesome playlist, of course) you’ll be making a kick-ass impression and be sure to have all the frat boys drooling come Welcome Week.

TV always manages to surprise us and this week was no exception. Behind the scenes with Paris Hilton? A dating show for “real” people? The premier of The Real Housewives of Atlanta? It was like one big train wreck and I couldn’t stop watching. Those people made me feel a whole lot better about myself, even if I have a few…er…interesting secrets. (I may or may not be typing this very post from my bathroom….)

But it’s all over now and I’m resting comfortably on this (hot as balls) Friday afternoon.

Have a great weekend, ladies. Just be sure to pull up your pants, pull down your shirt, and wear a freakin bra!  Oh, and don’t be a third wheel, Not cool.

I love spinning. It’s probably the most intense 30-45 minute sweat session I have, a) because the instructor pushes me super hard, b) because I like competing with the other people in the class (whoever goes the fastest wins, right?), and c) because I totally heart the rockin,’ music.

But when I’m on my own on the treadmill or elliptical, it seems I don’t achieve quite the same level of exercise. I know it’s because I don’t have someone yelling at me to go faster, but I think it also has something to do with the lame playlist on my iPod.

So in an effort to motivate us all, I’ve created the best tunage combo for your next cardio session. There are the slower songs to get you all warmed up, the hardcore tunes to get you through the tough parts of the workout, and some more chill songs to bring that heart rate back to normal.

You don’t need a teacher kicking your butt; your iPod can do it for you. Just set up this playlist and you’re on your way.

Okay, let’s get real. Last week we gorged ourselves with turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing. And although it was pretty trytophantastic, this week we are all probably feeling a little post-pavo regret. If that’s not bad enough, finals are coming (and if you’re already done for the semester/quarter – I seriously envy you!). That means we are one step closer to our trusted pal winter break.

At first, it’s exciting to wash your hands clean of campus. But we all know that the big break also equals lots of relatives, lots of bar-hopping and LOTS of food. So, in order to prepare you for the biggest belly-bustin’ season of the year, we put together a workout mix perfect for the lazy days of winter. Seriously, we all know, goin’ home for the holidays means giving up your all-access pass to the gym – and losing all motivation to do anything but watch Scrubs re-runs. Consider this College Candy’s holiday present.

Put down the remote & check out the mix here.
