Rosie on Romance: How to Impress Your Boyfriend's MomBy May 9, 2013 - 10:11pm We’ve all heard those horror stories about the boyfriend’s mother disapproving of the girlfriend and we write them off as myths, movie conflicts or just things that happen to other girls. At least, that’s what I thought. Until it happened to me, and my best friend, and my cousin. The fact is, it is possible for your boyfriend’s mother to dislike you and most of the time it doesn’t even have anything to do with you, just the idea of you. So whether you think you have a reason to prepare or not, you might want to keep some of these tips in mind when you go for that fateful meeting with her. Better safe than sorry! READ MORE |

5 Things I Learned at my Fashion Magazine InternshipBy May 1, 2013 - 9:50pm It’s crazy how much things can change in a year. A year ago, my freshman self was so set on getting an internship at a fashion magazine in New York City. I was so sure that I was destined to one day become a fashion editor for a women’s magazine, and I knew interning in any major fashion publication in New York was going to be my first step in making that dream come true.

When I finally got an offer, I was beyond excited for what seemed like the start of a career I only dreamed of having.... |

Megan's Menu: Peek-A-Boo CookiesBy April 30, 2013 - 9:38pm Here are two things I’ve concluded about this spring so far: 1) I have never thought the “April Showers” proverb was so accurate, and 2) I’ve found myself sarcastically saying, “we’re having such a nice winter this spring” far too often for my own good.

Rosie on Romance: Wet Weather DatesBy April 9, 2013 - 10:47pm It is a truth universally acknowledged that if there is ever a warm day in Chicago, said day will always be accompanied by bulldozing wind or dreary rain. And in keeping up with the spring tradition, we have been graced with weeks of terrible torrents (I promise I haven’t been doing the rain dance…at least, not recently).

Instead, use this opportunity to do things indoors you’ve always wanted to do or be a little adventurous. So here are some ideas for the next few gloomy days: READ MORE |

Bogged Down BoyfriendsBy March 13, 2013 - 2:59am Finals are upon us again (and I know this because I spent a lot of quality time with a giant bowl of chips and an ungodly mound of books at 3am last night). You’re breaking out, losing sleep, and feeling extremely irritable under all the stress, but sometimes it’s important to remember that so is your guy. Guys don’t generally verbalize their frustrations when they’re stressed so it’s easy to assume that they’re not secretly tearing their hair out. But it’s important to give them support when they’re feeling overwhelmed the way you would want a nice massage on a bad day. Just make sure you do it the right way. READ MORE |
