Friday Faves: Winter, a Love/Hate Relationship
It's usually about mid-August, after a summer of humid hair messes and chaffing, I am begging Mother Nature to let winter come. I want to be able to not start dripping the second I step outdoors, I’m bored of all my summer clothes and overall just over the season in general.
Cold, Colder, Coldest: 4 Winter Looks You're Going to Love
So winter arrived in a big way this week. I went from complaining that it was never going to get cold to injecting a hot chocolate drip in my arm. And while most years I use the cold as an excuse to dress like the pigeon lady from Home Alone 2: Kevin's Parents are so Self Involved They Don't Notice When He's Not On Their Plane...Again, this year I decided to change it up and actually dress like a real person during the winter months.
Friday Faves: Snow Days Then and Now
Remember when you were a little kid, and you’d actually wake up on time for school… just so you could huddle next to the radio and listen for your school to be called on the list of snow days?

Fashion Porn: Winter Accessories Get it on
As of next week it's officially winter. For those of you that have been piling on layers of clothing already, this will come as no surprise.

Intro to Cooking: Cranberry Applesauce
This Week's Ingredient: Cranberries! They're sweet. They're tart. They're harvested from bogs. And they're a deep, beautiful, fire-engine hue. If your only exposure to cranberries is in combination with their fermented partner, vodka, then you're totally missing out (not to mention that the "cranberry juice" served in bars is basically just sugar water).
Have an Eco-Friendly Winter
Winter is one of my favorite seasons. Even though I live in snowless California, I still love cozying up at home during the cold winter months. The only downside to the winter wonderland lifestyle is the negative eco-side effects that are often associated with high thermostat levels and twinkle lights.
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.
The Love List: Lovin’ Single
So I'm single. And not only am I single - I am a single lady who is not looking for someone to put a ring on it anytime soon. If my grandma reads that she will probably have a heart attack, but I stand by my word (although I do promise to come visit her at the hospital).
