The more I date, the better I’ve gotten to know myself and what I can and can’t put up with in a relationship.
A Star Wars obsession? Been there, done that, have the t-shirt (no, really, I do.)
Bad speller? Sorry, can’t handle it. (Seriously, I just don’t understand how a grown man can go through high […]

Fashion Rant: Message T-shirts
There is one fashion trend that I hate more than anything—more than denim skirts with Uggs, more than Crocs, even more than inappropriately tight, super low-rise jeans on women that shouldn’t be wearing them (basically, anyone besides supermodels.)
Message t-shirts.
If you’ve ever stepped foot in a mall, high school, or a club on “teen night,” you’ve […]
Combat Back-to-School Chub
For me, the return of classes, exams, club meetings, and late-night studying leads to the return of something else I could do without—unwanted pounds.
Especially as a commuter, I’m often only home early in the morning and late at night, when all I want is some comfort food and a red bull before I crack open […]
Dating on a Budget
As stressful and spirit-crushing as dating can sometimes be, going on dates is one of my favorite things to do.
I love the getting-ready ritual of hair removal, spending half an hour on mascara application, and going through your entire closet before you settle on The Dress.
I love having doors held open and chairs pulled out, […]

I noticed this first earlier this summer, while reading “The Feminine Mystique” by Betty Friedan. My book began to cower in fear any time I attempted to take […]
Ashley Olsen is…Cool?
I think I’ve found myself a new celeb girl-crush.
I’ve been a fan of the Olsen twins since Full House, and a closeted fan ever since their enrollment to my school, New York University, was met with open hostility and disdain. I couldn’t get enough of it—their grandma-chic outfits that look like they were put together […]
Modern Day Bag Lady
Confession: I have a closet at home that is filled with handbags, and handbags only. Not a drawer in my dresser, not the top shelf in my coat closet—an entire closet, filled with bags.Now, when I say that my closet is filled with bags, I’m not referring to those envelope-sized purses flaunting a designer logo […]
Bum Bleaching the New Bikini Wax?
If you think Brazilian bikini waxes are a little too intimate, brace yourself—-below the belt grooming is about to get a lot more personal.
Thanks to the J.Lo-inspired era of backside obsession, I’ll admit I’ve certainly been paying more attention to how I fill out my jeans. But according to Marie Claire, there are women who […]
