How To: Read the Newspaper From Your Nails

10/6/2012

Reprint the newspaper onto your own nails with these 4 easy steps.

Ever wish you could create a cool design on your nails without having to pay $40 for a fresh manicure? Ever wish your nails could look something like this…

Instead of that boring solid color you’ve had sitting in your makeup bag for months, learn how to achieve your newspaper nails in 4 easy steps.

Step 1: 1st coat

Paint your nails a light gray or white color. Only apply one layer of polish, you don’t want your nail polish to be thick or clumpy.

Step 2: Isopropyl Alcohol 

Dip your nails, one by one in regular Isopropyl Alcohol. Leave each nail in for about 5 seconds.

Step 3: Bring in the Newspaper

Press your nails against some words in a newspaper article. Make sure you press hard and leave your nail against the paper for a while. You should feel your nails sticking a bit to the newspaper when you pull them off.

Step 4: Last coat

This is the most important step. Paint your nails with a clear, no-chip polish to make sure the design stays on your nails longer. 

There you have it! Show all of your friends today’s news right from your nails! 

Alzheimer's Association will be holding annual Walk to End Alzheimer's

4/28/2012

On Sunday, April 29, the North Central West Virginia Office of the Alzheimer’s Association will be holding their annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s at the WVU Coliseum Track. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s has been around since 1989 and is the largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research.  There are around 600 communities nationwide that participate in the Walk and over $347 million has been raised over the years.
 
Regional coordinator, Pam Shriver, tells us a little bit more about "why we walk."
 
"The Walk is a chance for people who are affected by or care about this disease to come together, share their stories, and feel connected to others who are going through the same things," said Shriver. "It also gives everyone a chance to do something to help support the programs we provide here in the state."
 
Shriver also tells us about some of the work that has gone into planning this year’s event.
 
"There is so much that goes into a Walk from getting members of the community to work on the planning committee, getting teams geared up and excited to raise money, making sure we have volunteers, food/drink, music, folks to speak, etc. at the Walk," said Shriver.  "It’s about a 9 month process from start to finish."
 
All donations raised from the walk benefit the Alzheimer’s Association and further the care, support and research it provides. 
 
"The money we raise at the Walk stays in West Virginia to help those who live with this disease on a daily basis," said Shriver. "We hope people will come out and support us on Sunday."

Dance Now at WVU

2/3/2012


The West Virginia College of Creative Arts performed its 57th Annual Dance concert, “Dance Now,” for the first time on Thursday, January 5th.  The performance was a huge success and featured work from the WVU Dance Program students and faculty, as well as local dance groups and guest artists from the dance world. 
 
Rachel Borowski, our HerCampus editor who performed in one of the acts, said the dancers had been preparing for a great show.
 
“We started rehearsing these pieces in the beginning of the fall semester and had an informal concert for all of the student choreographer’s pieces during the end of last semester,” said Borowski.  “Certain student choreographed pieces were selected to be performed along with the faculty pieces.”
                                                                                                                       
Mariah Vrana, who attended the show on opening night, said she thought it went very well.                                                                                        
 
“It was very beautiful and elegant,” said Vrana, “it made me wish I had never given up dancing when I was little.”
 
Borowski said she also thought the performance went well.
 
“The audience really seemed to respond well to the performances and I know personally that last night was one of my best performances,” said Borowski.
 
The concert was dedicated to Emily Spickler, a WVU student who passed away on an Austrailia study abroad trip in August.  Students from her hometown choreographed the opening dance in her memory.

Butler and Stinespring crowned Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer

11/19/2011

Every year around 70 candidates apply to take on the role of Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer at West Virginia University.  The tradition has been part of WVU for more than 40 years and is not just about the title.  Finalists have been able to host events throughout the academic year that range from talent shows to craft fairs.  The newly elected 2011-2012 Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer is Ryan Butler, a five years master student in secondary math education and senior public relations major, Katlin Stinespring.  Her Campus caught up with them to learn more about the award.
 
"The Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer embody the entire Mountaineer spirit and serve as the ideal representation of a West Virginia University student, from academic achievement and positive attitudes to community activism, extra-curricular involvement, leadership and professional experience," said Stinespring.  "The individuals have a dear respect for their university and state and seek to represent both in the best manner possible at all times."
 
Butler tells us that he was somewhat nervous when applying for the position.
 
"The application process was slightly nerve-wracking. I didn't turn my application in until the last minute and even then, I didn't think I had much of a chance," said Butler.  "It was a great honor to even be a finalist, though I was nervous after my interview since mine was shorter than the other Mr. Mountaineer Finalists."
 
Stinespring and Butler both explain how they felt at the WVU/Louisville game when the announcement was made.
 
"It was a complete shock and amazement," said Butler.  "I was in disbelief for most of the day after the announcement. It was very humbling."
