	Embrace Who You Are! By Hope Kumor February 4, 2013 - 2:33am Let’s be honest, not all of us can be a size two or look like Jillian Michaels (hello muscles!). But what we can do is accept who we are instead of trying to alter ourselves or beating ourselves up. Try this on for size - embracing who you are despite your weight can score you some serious happiness points.

By Andrea Cox October 21, 2012 - 10:02pm As the lovely, Audrey Hepburn once said, "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair." Bearing this in mind, what's the beef between women who choose to wear their hair natural and those who prefer extensions? I think we can all agree that hair is something that the majority of women in society associate with femininity, whether it's one's natural hair or an extension of one's natural hair.

	Fall into Season By Layla Jones October 1, 2012 - 9:44am In light of the temperatures dropping from a couple weeks ago’s high-mid 80’s to this week’s mid-low 70’s, collegiates are probably planning to put away those coveted summer frocks and pull out the sweaters and jeans in preparation for the approaching autumn. Closet floors are freed of sandals, only to be replaced by flats and boots. Hangers are burdened with the weight of jackets and coats, as more and more protection from the weather will be necessary with the passing away of summer once again.
