College Candy

If there’s one thing that’s certain about each Olympics, it’s that the Games are sure to launch some mega-watt stars. Some athletes go from zeros-to-heroes in a matter of seconds (think Hannah Kearney and Alexandre Bilodeau), and even a lucky few have more lasting careers in the limelight (Apolo Ohno).

Dearest Dude, I’ve waited for a second chance with this guy that I’m crazy for. I’d do anything for him and he is amazing. We get along so well. About a year ago, we had a fallout because of my mistake of telling him I love him. I’m back with him, but not romantically…

We ladies spend a lot of our time making ourselves beautiful. Between the haircuts, the tweezing, the manicures, the bronzers… it’s exhausting. And it could all be a waste of time, according to a poll over at Glamour Magazine. They asked some guys what they thought of our beauty tricks and the boys let it all out.

This month’s issue of Cosmo may just take the award for most insightful published information yet. (Where’s that sarcastic font when we need it most?) First we learn what kind of behavior is too freaky to fix on a man… such as someone who Tweets every time you switch positions in bed.

Would you rather have your nose light up every time you think about sex OR never be able to lie about anything?

Since the dawn of time, man has dealt with an ego (the whole brain, really) that is directly linked to his junk. We all know that guys have issues with their…size, and use it as their defining trait when it comes to women. While this may illicit a giggle from the ladies who have had to deal with these silly boys, it turns out that this may not be a laughing matter.

I’m going to be completely honest with err-body in the club gettin’ tipsy. I’ve watched Mad Men maybe one time (or less) during Christmas break and wasn’t exactly its number one fan. But for some reason I couldn’t take my eyes off of Joan Holloway’s style and attitude on the show. And that’s probably the only reason I lasted as long as I did…

• The Brits love Gaga, too.
• Chocolate eases stress. For real!
• Celebs should be grateful for Photoshop.
• A sneak peak at the Project Runway NYFW show!
• Could there be a Madonna fashion line in our futures?
• Mena Suvari is just lookin’ for attention (and it’s working).

How often do you see a picture of a celebrity in a magazine or online and wonder where she got that amazing jacket/purse/pair of shoes? If you’re anything like me, it happens all the time. But as I’ve found, it’s not always easy to find the answers. Until I discovered Coolspotters.

• Check out the Kardashians’ line for Bebe!
• Are John Krasinski and Emily Blunt meant to be?
• Sweet shades, dude.
• Who is Brody Jenner’s newest GF?
• NYFW doesn’t want anything to do with LiLo.
• Clearly, Oprah doesn’t watch football.

I’m sure most of us (myself included) don’t really stop mid-bite to ponder the effects of different foods on our teeth. And while it doesn’t need to be at the forefront of our thoughts, we should still think about them chompers from time to time.

For the first ten years of my life, my answer to the ever-so-popular question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” was always “a mermaid.” I wasn’t joking, I did want to be a mermaid. Living in the sea, long flowing locks, a singing lobster for a BFF….

A new study presented by Fox News (watch the vid, peeps) says that going to college will make someone’s political opinions lean left and suggests that democratic faculty push their liberal agendas on students.

If you’ve read any of my DIY columns, then you probably know I’m completely in love with hair flair! I love a good headband, head-wrap, and now I’m really into adding some bling to spice up a normal hair day. And although I love a bold hair flair statement, I also like elegant and simple hair accessories, too, like sequined and rhinestone bobby pins.

As every CollegeCandy writer knows, blog commenters can be brutal. Like, kill your self-esteem and make you question everything you’ve ever written brutal. People who you have never met will take the time to dissect your blog and tear it apart sentence by sentence. No typo goes unnoticed and no opinion goes unbashed.
