Playlist: Travel Through Your Tunes

Part of the brilliant thing about music is its ability to transport you anywhere; the past, future, your ex-boyfriend’s bed, graduation, drunken evenings in Cabo… Whatever. Just like scents, when certain songs climb into your ears they take you on a journey.
I’d like to make that journey a little more literal and give you […]

Playlist: When Work Takes Over Your Life

Sometimes we all need a little pick-me-up. Sometimes we want to know that rockstars are also experiencing excessive amounts of stress. Sometimes we feel like our head might expload, but we find comfort in the thought of Dolly Parton working “9-5!”
So here are some tunes, work related, lamenting about said work, fueling your fire and […]

Get Your Summer Bod Bikini Ready!!

Just the thought of having to put on a bikini makes me want to move to someplace cold and dark. Maybe someplace like a cave? Instead of coming to terms with the fact that I can’t wear a parka all summer long, I stress out and start having intense cravings for cookies. I completely sabotage […]

The Many Definitions of Douche

The other day a friend of mine counted the amount of times I used the word douche. The number was shockingly high, something like 20 times within a half an hour. This got me thinking….I was either very irrate about something and was on a ranting rampage, OR there are many types of doucheness. So, […]

Landon Pigg is My New Favorite

I prefer to start off all of my conversations with porn references.
Especially when I’m talking to total strangers, or in this case Landon Pigg – who I wish wasn’t a total stranger to me, because I’m quite sure we’d get along famously, in the non-famousy way. However, from seeing two of his performances in the […]

What Would YOU Do: Your Friend’s Ex

Often when friends break up with their boyfriends, you have to chose whether or not to remain friends with the Ex. From years/months/beer pong matches together, you have developed a friendship with said Ex…so does the end of the main relationship mean you have to break up too??
Or can you go on as friends?
Flip the […]

Cinco De Mayo = Sweet, Spicey Drinks!

Any excuse to celebrate with tequila is my kind of celebration! I know that’s not the idea behind Cinco De Mayo, but hey — humor me.
Try these fun drinks, and remember kids DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. Ride a bike instead.

Lime wedge, plus more for garnish

What Would YOU Do: Stuck in the Middle

I have found myself in quite the sticky situation.
A lot of us twentysomethings can probably understand the situation I’m about to recall. Due to the copious amounts of liquor that most of us consume during college and there after (when we’re finally legal), we often up the next morning with regrets I.E. Did I […]

Let’s Kick It Old School: A Playlist to Remind Us of the “Better Days”

These days, the radio is a serious disappointment. I long for the days when the number one hit was Mariah Carey singing Vision Of Love (I’m sorry but that sh*t was QUALITY). When I listen to say…something like, “This Is Why I’m Hot”, I find myself feeling so incredibly–unhot. Instead, I feel ashamed for listening […]
