I can’t believe we haven’t done one of these this month! In our defense, it has been an incredibly busy month for us. I’ve got midterms coming up, and Mish has been taking classes and working overtime. Phew! Anyway, here are a few of my latest faves!
1. The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. Everyone seems to go a little ga-ga when they hear the word 
“vagina,” especially when followed by the word “monologues.” What? Vaginas can speak?! Yes! World renowned feminist-activist Eve Ensler wrote The Vagina Monologues in 1996 to give women {and their vaginas} a voice. They were written after Ensler interviewed 200 women about their views on sex, relationships, and violence against women. The monologues are both hilarious and empowering, and others will make you cry. Both men and women should see it, it’s simply amazing. I’ve seen it twice with Suzi {once at Trinity College and once in New Orleans} It made it to my list because I’m seeing it tonight at UConn! Whoo!! If you’re interested in attending, it’s at 6pm at the Student Union Theater, $12 for students and $15 for non-students. All proceeds go to the V-Day Movement, which works to end violence against women all over the world. 
2. “Raditude” by Weezer. The name says it all, this album is rad. I love Weezer, they can do no wrong. This latest album features “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To,” which is a long name for a song, but it’s a really good one. Okay, I admit to belting it out in my car. Get your hands on this!
3. Swirl. Swirl is a website put together by the authors of Daily Candy, a culture blog that features “a handpicked selection of all that’s fun, fashionable, food related, and culturally stimulating in the city you’re fixated on (and all over the Web).” Swirl offers insider deals on hot fashions and designer labels. Although the prices are still sometimes a little out of my budget, you can’t beat 80% off designer clothing! You do have to sign up for it, and they have to approve your account {which can take a few days}, but it’s definitely worth if you’re a fashonista with a small wallet.
4. LUSH Trichomania Solid Shampoo. Okay, so it looks like a chunk of Parmesan cheese, but I promise it’s shampoo! I am constantly on the hunt for new shampoo. Every one I’ve used {and I’ve used many, many different brands} has either left me with residue or dried out my hair. Then, I found LUSH {cue angelic sound}. LUSH Trichomania Solid Shampoo does neither. It’s a bar shampoo, which I had never tried before and was skeptical of, but as the Monkees once famously said, now I’m a believer. LUSH’s solid shampoos contain no preservatives, no packaging, and last at least twice as long as your regular liquid shampoo. I like Trichomania because it makes my hair super soft, helps controls frizziness, and it’s safe to use on dyed hair. Not to mention it has a delicious long-lasting, but not overpowering, coconut smell. Just try not to eat it! :)
What are you fav’ing right now?
