My Life is GrUV: A Night on the Town 5/1/2013	It’s the end of the semester, which means it’s time to celebrate. What do UVMers do around here for fun? If you’re looking for a good time, check out Burlington’s bustlin’ bar scene. Whether you just want to have some casual drinks with friends, or dance the night away, there’s a bar for everyone. So here is what some students had to say about the most popular spots in town: Nectar’s “Known as the home to jam band Phish, this place attracts good music occasionally and Burlington's weirdos frequently” “90’s night and retronome, nuff said” “Went to reggae night a few Sundays ago and there were some BTV randos, but still super fun!” Red Square “On the pricier side, but great DJs and the patios are fun during summer.” “Blue Room!” “Can’t beat drinking outside during the summer. A little more expensive, but worth it if you’re looking to dance in the awesome Blue Room. Definitely beats Sputies” Ales “Not the greatest service (or lighting), but always a 100% chance of finding solid masses of UVM students getting rowdy and playing mediocre music on the jukebox. Dollar PBRs on Thursdays”
My Life is GrUV: How to Effectively Use a Cheat Sheet 4/27/2013	Other than the words “cancelled” or “take-home,” students always rejoice when they hear “cheat sheet” thrown into the mix when finals are fast approaching. The name “cheat sheet” can be a bit misleading considering it’s essentially a page or index card of handwritten/typed notes you are allowed to use. This beautiful gift your professor has given you will not only help you study, but will also relieve some of the stress (only if you use it wisely). It can act as a safety net, which will help you focus on understanding the material instead of wasting energy memorizing a bunch of equations and dates. Here are some tips for creating the perfect cheat sheet so when the day comes, you won’t break a sweat filling out those bubbles. Organization Make sure it’s easy for you to find all the information on your note card. The writing needs to be readable, so don’t write too small! Since you’ll also have limited space, use it wisely- a picture can speak a thousand words. Usually the best things to put on the note card are tables, lists, diagrams, and specific formulas Use headers, color-coding, arrows, etc. Go crazy with those highlighters! Put on only what you need to help you remember, like mnemonic devices (think SOH CAH TOA) Don’t write out examples, only write the processes with clearly defined steps How to Make It

The Beauty Closet: How to Dress for a Concert 4/17/2013	There’s nothing quite like listening to your favorite band live while standing in a mosh pit of sweaty, screaming fans. What if you get the chance to meet the band after the show for an autograph? With all the perspiration and jumping around, how is it even possible to not look like a mess? Here are some tips for looking hot and staying comfortable during the last two concerts of the semester. Bassnectar What: Dubstep When: Wednesday, April 24th Where: Memorial Auditorium Dubstep concerts can be tricky. Bassnectar is inside, which means minimal air circulation and maximum makeup melting. So here are my suggestions: Wear eyeliner only on your top lid and use waterproof mascara Have fun with your makeup, go for bright colors Keep your hair in a top-knot, or if you’re leaving it down give it some waves so it doesn’t look crazy with the humidity. But most importantly- bring a hairtie! Leave the heavy jewelry at home Close-toed shoes are a must- they’re comfortable, won’t make your feet dirty, and will protect your toes from getting stomped on! Wear crop tops, cut-out tops, shorts, anything you’d wear in the middle of summer to keep you cool Springfest What: Psychedelic rock When: Saturday, April 27th Where: Central Campus/Patrick Gym (rainsite)
UVM Concerts Bureau 3/30/2013	It’s the last month of school, which means warmer weather, barefoot people, skipping class for sunbathing, but most importantly Springfest! So grab your florescent orange shorts, oversized ponchos, feathered headgear, and whatever else you can find that’s strange, because MGMT is coming to town. Get ready to admire Andrew VanWyngarden’s amazing headbands, and Ben Goldwasser’s facial hair. In addition to MGMT, there will be supporting Springfest performances by BoomBox, People Under the Stairs, Biblecamp Sleepovers, and winner of UVM’s Battle of the Bands 2013, Will Overman. So who are the masterminds behind Springfest? The UPB Concerts Bureau team consists of seven members, and about thirty UPB production workers. A couple years ago, Concerts Bureau joined UVM’s Program Board, gaining more funding and support. Their job is to plan, promote, and produce most of the musical performances on campus, including Fallfest and Springfest. Previous ‘fest shows have included A$AP Rocky, The Roots, Soulive & Dillon Francis, and Whiz Khalifa. They also coordinate a few smaller events throughout the year, such as the latest Sound Remedy show at Club Metronome. Last Tuesday, I sat down with the team’s executives, Ashley Morgan and Andrew Sondheim, to talk about how the team organizes UVM’s most anticipated event of the year.

Oscar Looks To Love and Learn From 3/16/2013	I was completely blown away the looks at the Oscars this year. Stunning. One that stood out to me in particular was Charlize Theron. Not only can this woman rock a sexy pixie cut, but she’s also the perfect example of the tried and true “less is more” mantra. She went for a beautiful Christian Dior couture white gown, Harry Winston bracelets and earrings, and Roger Vivier shoes. The classic silhouette of the dress showed off her shape beautifully, which goes to show you don’t need an over-the-top, extravagant dress to turn heads. Besides the dress, one of the first things I noticed about her look was her makeup. She kept it simple, with glowing, perfect skin and striking, vibrant eyes. No dramatic wing eyeliner or dark red lips here! The nude color palette she used for her makeup perfectly complimented her natural beauty. So what are the beauty take-aways from Charlize Theron? Wear clothes that flatter your shape. Don’t hide behind a lot of makeup, flaunt that beautiful fresh face! Keep it simple! Just as Coco Chanel once said, take off one accessory before leaving the house.
The Beauty Closet: Bronzed Beauty or Lobster? 3/14/2013	You know it’s the week after spring break when every other kid in class looks like they could re-create the face peel scene in American Psycho. Ok, sorry, not the prettiest picture. I spent my break at home in front of the fireplace, pretending the heat was coming from the sun beating down on me, while I lounged on a white sandy beach. So out of bitterness and jealousy, here’s an article about nursing that sunburn you managed to score while having too much fun to care. The last time I went on vacation, I finally had to come to terms with the fact that my skin prefers burning rather than tanning. My solution? I bought the largest bottle of aloe vera gel on the shelf, hid under a floppy sun hat meant for an old lady, and sat in the shade feeling sorry for myself. Other than these common practices, what else can you do? According to dermatologist Dr. Cynthia Bailey, while you can’t repair the damage a sunburn has already done, you can relieve the discomfort following these steps: 1) Aspirin- This can help with the inflammation, but must be taken immediately after strong exposure to the sun. 2) Topical prescription cortisone creams- These need a doctor’s prescription and should be applied within 6 hours of you noticing the redness. 3) Moisturize- After taking a cool shower or bath (a bath might be better to avoid the water pressure), make sure to apply an unscented moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Try Aveeno Daily Moisturizer.
The Beauty Closet: Mother Knows Best Beauty Secrets 3/23/2012	Ah, the wisdom of past generations, such a wealth of knowledge of all things beauty. Over my many years of existence, I have acquired numerous valuable tips and tricks from my mother and grandmother to keep my skin, hair, and overall health in prime condition. One of the most precious instructions I have heard time and time again is, “Take care of that neck! Because if you don't, at my age you'll have a turkey neck.” Then there's, “Wear clean underwear, just in case you're in an accident,” thanks Nana! That one's not really a beauty tip, but still just as important to keep in mind. Here I have compiled a list of all things beauty, taken directly from the words of my own mother and grandmother, as well as other young ladies who have found themselves with plenty of beauty advice to share. Hair Rinse hair with vinegar or lemon juice (mixed with water) for shine- also, when you use lemon juice on your hair in the summer it can make it lighter! Try not to overdo this though or it could damage your hair. Need a DIY hair mask? Try 1 tablespoon of honey and 3 tablespoons of olive oil- adjust the amounts to how long/thick your hair is! Work mixture into wet hair and leave on for 30 minutes with a warm, damp towel wrapped around your head. So shiny and lustrous!
