Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
Pink, lemonade, and cupcakes. This is a combination I just can’t pass up. With spring air teasing us but weather still cool enough to use an oven, these cupcakes are the perfect sweet treat to get you through until summer break! Cupcakes: 1 cup butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 1 teaspoon...
DIY Green Spring Cleaning
Most of us college girls are probably not all that concerned with spring cleaning as our mothers might be. But with only a few weeks left in the spring semester a lot of us will be moving out of dorms, college housing, and apartments that have to be cleaned to avoid annoying charges from landlords...
Healthy No-Bake Energy Bites
It’s about that time of year when college campuses become deserted, and sunny beaches are completely overtaken by students celebrating spring break. But if you haven’t left for your tropical destination yet you still have time to do some last minute beach bod prepping. These little miracle snacks can help you do just that! They...
DIY Metallic Twig Bangles
What a genius way to embrace the bare tree limbs that, unfortunately, have a few more weeks before they begin to become green and leaf-filled once again in New York. This project is extremely easy and the finished product is absolutely beautiful. You will need: Fresh twigs (if they are too dry, the bangle won’t...
Roasted Garlic and Tomato Snack Spread
I came across this recipe and CANNOT wait to try it out. Fresh garlic and tomato hint at spring time but the creamy flavor keeps this snack hearty enough for the cool days still ahead. All you need to make about 1 and 1/2 cups… 2 whole garlic bulbs 3 teaspoons of olive oil 3...
Chocolate is for Lovers
Whether you’re celebrating “singles awareness day” or Valentine’s Day, this delicious indulgence should be a part of your February 14th plans. Between the chocolate and the margarita, all that’s missing is the diamonds… it quite possibly could have the makings of a BFF. The “Chocolate is for Lovers Margarita” calls for: 3 parts chocolate milk...
Take Your Tee From Hanes to Haute
Most of us don’t exactly have short sleeves on the mind right now, but this is one project you will be dying to get started on ASAP. It’s called shredding- and it looks amazing layered, with a comfy sweater, or even on a scarf (so winter chills won’t be an issue.) There’s more good news...
DIY Valentine’s Day Chocolates
Valentine’s Day is such a wonderful excuse to indulge in chocolate treats. However, it can be quite a downer to receive a really nice, heart-shaped box filled with chocolates that have flavor filled centers you just don’t find all that appealing. (I just can’t get past the chocolates with the cherries inside! -Yuck.) I have...
SUNY Oswego Hits the Streets… In Style!
This past weekend the Runway Reps of the State University of New York at Oswego hosted their first event of the semester, a Street Style Contest! Although the weather was nothing short of what we expect in Upstate New York this time of year (freezing!), it didn’t keep Oswego students from staying in on a...
DIY: Bangles on a Budget
Ready for a seriously budget-friendly fix for your accessory addiction? All you need for these cute bangles are pipe clamps, scissors, and a strip of bright fabric or ribbon. First, take a trip to your local hardware store, walk right down the plumbing aisle, and pick out pipe clamps that fit comfortably around your arm....
Glam Manicure With a Glitter Touch
Sparkly nails are a trend I have been absolutely loving. A complete, all over glitter-tastic manicure worked great for the holiday season but for something more versatile, and slightly subtle, try a design with just touch of sparkle. What’s great about this trend is it is very easy to get creative without spending a lot...
Upcycle Flea Market Finds to Give Your Space a Vintage Vibe
Very often I find myself clicking through pages upon pages of photos displaying rooms I would love to call my own. Usually the pieces that bring the room together to give it the style that reflects that lucky owner are one-of-a-kind, not to mention out of my college student budget. This time spent doesn’t go...
