10 Songs to Kick Up Your Summer
I’ve taken the liberty of putting together a little playlist to give all of you something other than “Call Me Maybe” to listen to. Exciting, yes? This is a small collection of songs that put me in that feel-good summer mood. I tried to give a mix of new and old, and genres span from […]
So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Meet the Top 20’ Music Highlights
Last night on FOX, the top 20 contestants for season 9 of So You Think You Can Dance were revealed. I’ve been a fan of the dance competition since season 1 (though there are some seasons I’ve paid more attention to than others). The music that the choreographers and dancers use in the show is […]
Music Video: B.o.B, ‘Both of Us’ ft. Taylor Swift
The video: Yesterday brought the premiere of the music video for “Both of Us,” the latest single off B.o.B’s sophomore album Strange Clouds. It was shot in Nashville, Tennessee but don’t let the location fool you. This video shows a different side of the city and its people – great examples of gritty, rural Americana. […]
S’Mother
Moms are great, aren’t they? Mine reads The Collabor-eight multiple times a day: she’s our biggest fan. That being said, crazy mother stories are some of the funniest out there. Because everyone can relate to knowing a friend or relative that you love unconditionally, despite the crazy. So you can pretty much already guess what […]
Bucktooth Betty (continued)…
“You can completely say no,” he started. “But one of your cavities is perfect for my regional board exams coming up. I mean, if you gave me the opportunity to fill this tooth, this would be at no charge.” I liked this. When it came to buying drinks for friends and splurging on weekend getaways, […]

The most perfect celebration manicure is a caviar manicure, of course. Thanks to an awesome graduation present from one of my sorority sisters (Thanks, Melissa!), […]

OPI’s Spiderman Collection
Are your Spidey senses tingling? OPI has done it again: the second you think they can’t outdo themselves… they, well, go and outdo themselves. The latest collection features shades inspired by The Amazing Spider-Man. In true OPI fashion, the shade names are almost better than the colors. From left to right: Shatter the Scales, My […]
Benefit’s Rare Beauty Snow White and the Huntsman Makeup Kit
Apparently the beauty world can’t get enough of Snow White and the Huntsman. Benefit Cosmetics came out with their own movie collaboration kit. While I love the products in this case (Benefit classics! And Porefessional is to die for), I think the set itself is kind of lame. There’s nothing new or particularly “Snow White” about the collection, (mascara and […]
