I’m a trip. I bite my nails, am slave to an unhealthy burrito addiction, always appreciate a decent pub crawl, enjoy dancing ridiculously off-beat, & hope you enjoy my blogs peaches :)

How to Avoid the Frosh 15 (Before It’s Too Late)

Everyone’s heard of it, and no, it’s not a first year’s urban legend. The Freshman Fifteen is all-too painfully real, and extremely hard to avoid.
However, if you’re smart enough to check up on CC before heading off to the most fabulous four years of your life, there’s still hope!
Just follow these guidelines and you’ll be […]

Heidi’s Fake Bling?

Turns out the platinum bleached babes of The Hills aren’t the only fakes! Surprised? Of course you’re not. In case you missed the last episode (and all 762 reruns since), Spencer Brat –I mean Pratt– spends “big bucks” (attempted borrowed bucks from pal Brody Jenner) on an engagement ring for his uber-fake girlfriend Heidi. Turns […]

Disclaimer: What Not to Do in College

Last summer, I found myself packing up my life (have you ever noticed that your life seems extremely pathetic when you get around to actually packing it up in luggage?) and heading off, seven hours away, to a world of cheap beer, dirty laundry, and glorious, glorious freedom. It was my freshman year of college.Sure, […]

Crazies! All in the Name of Beauty?

The next time you find yourself pining for Jessica Alba’s perfectly clear complexion or Mischa Barton’s cellulite-free ass, think again. You’d be shocked (and seriously wigged out) to learn what lengths some of these celebs go to to be beautiful.
For instance? Gwyneth Paltrow uses snake venom skin cream to keep wrinkles away. Creepy! She must […]

Britney: Oops, I Hit It Again

Amidst K-Fed’s custody battle and successfully seducing a college student in a rooftop jacuzzi, the single mom of two (innocent victims!) decided to play a quick game of Britney Bumper Cars.
Crashing into a parked car in front of dozens of paparazzi, our favorite Baldy simply exclaimed, “I’m a braniac!” See it here.
Apparently, Brit-Brit hasn’t brushed […]

10 College Must-Haves You Can’t Afford to Forget

Try your best to not punch me once I say this, but the summer’s end is fast approaching.
It’s a time for lists, and packing, shopping, lists, and laundry, and did I mention lists?
Not only do you have to worry about transporting your enormous shoe collection (”I swear I’ll wear those grey pumps this year. I […]

Brits Pound Brew, Smell Nice Too!

This summer I’m proud to say I actually did a couple things with my life, including a relaxing week-long vacation in London with only the very best of sidekicks, my awkwardly hilarious sister.
Lucky for us, two chickadees who tend to violently swat the air when someone’s smoking a ciggy nearby, we arrived on the exact […]

Happy National Underwear Day!

Hope it’s not laundry day!
No need to get your panties in a bunch, but in case you forgot to mark your calendars, today is the day we celebrate boyshorts, bikini cut, thong, silky, cotton, and polka-dot! It’s National Underwear Day.
Freshpair founder and creator of this glorious holiday, Michael Kleinmann, said,
“We created National Underwear Day because […]

2007 VMA’s, Let the Games Begin

Yup, the list is out. MTV’s annual VMA noms have been released, and the list looks a little…repetitive, if I do say so myself.
And um, lame. Did I mention lame?
Of course you’ve got your Kanye and Justin, Rihanna pops up a lot, and at least there’s a little justice in this world- Amy Winehouse is […]

Tom’s Not Havin’ It

Everyone knows MySpace Tom. You know, white tee clad Tom, that friend of yours, that you’ve never actually met, who greedily claimed a precious spot in your top eight?
I must admit I stopped using my MySpace about a year and a half ago when I realized I was denying more friends than I was approving. […]
