The Best Diet: Not Having One at All

Juice cleanses, low-carb and low-fat diets, cabbage diets,

raw diets, and calorie restrictions ; there are tons of diets that

you can choose from, many of which promise fast results and

instant weight loss. These diets are oftentimes dangerous, and

weight can be gained just as quickly as it was lost. If long term

lifestyle changes are not made, it is quite difficult to lose weight.

No one wants to be on a diet forever, so there is always a

constant struggle between the body and food.

How to Have a Pure Michigan Summer

7/29/2016

by Tori Moore
If you grew up in the Mitten, you already have images floating around of the great lakes, roller coasters, and those weird stick/tube shaped popsicle/freezepop/ice-creams that no one knows what to call (you know the ones). Below are a few ways every Michigan native does summer. Even if you aren't from our great state, take notes, 'cause it's fun.
Picture
1. Cedar Point

"Cedar Pooo-ooint, Fun and Only." Even though it was in Ohio, Cedar Point was the greatest summer escape, every. single. summer. But somehow, you never got tired of it. With nearly 20 roller coasters, a kids' park, a water park, and great food. it's hard not to have a good time, no matter what the age. Whether you stuck to the ferris wheel or tested your bravery on the dragster, it was always one of your best summer memories. Don't forget your photo with Snoopy!

2. Faygo

Faygo - Detroit's very own pop! (Yes, we say pop here. What is soda?!) After a long day of riding your bike back and forth, it was nice to go to the Party Store (or the liquor store, or the corner store, whatever you called it) and crack one of these babies open. We all had a favorite flavor, whether it was Rock'n'Rye or Redpop. They tasted best with a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos or Barbecue Lays. The best part? They were much cheaper than the average Coke or Pepsi all while having a million flavors.

Horror Movies for the Easily Spooked

7/29/2016

I believe that the horror genre is the best genre. It has

such power to elicit a visceral reaction from the watcher and

completely shake them unlike any other genre. Too often

people don’t give horror a chance because they think it’s too

scary. They think that horror is all about cheap jump scares

and flat plots, but there’s so much more to a strong horror.

For anyone who wants to dip your toes into a darker

atmosphere, more high stake situations, and a little bit of

blood, but you don’t want to have to constantly cover your

eyes, here’s a list of movies that may not all be classified as

horror, but they sure all do pack a spooky punch.

1. Spring (Directed by Aaron Scott Moorhead,

Justin Benson)

If you’re just looking to dip your little toe into the

depths of horror, then this is definitely a good option

for you. This has the concept of a strong sci-fi horror,

but it was deftly woven into an atmospherically and

historically bright romance. It tells the story of an

American man looking for an escape from his life. He

ends up in Italy and sees a stunning girl in a red dress

and the rest is history. The horror aspect is the perfect

pungent relief from what would’ve been just another

romance, but it doesn’t steal the show, it enhances and

adds to the complexities of the film and provides for a

great foil to the well meaning and charmingly mundane

leading man. This is a brilliant example of a beautifully

artistic semi-horror.

5 Movies Every Young Adult Should Watch

1) The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012):

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a movie adaptation of the

novel by the same name written by Stephen Chbosky. It

follows Charlie (played by Logan Lerman) as he navigates

his first year of high school. He’s the very definition of

socially awkward, and is bullied mercilessly. He’s beginning

to hate high school in earnest when two seniors, Sam and

Patrick (played by Emma Watson and Ezra Miller,

respectfully) take him under their wing.

This movie is emotional, tangible, and carries in it

spectacular meanings. In this coming-of- age film, Charlie is

forced to confront his intense personal struggles all while

attempting to enjoy the world of new music, friendship, and

love that Sam and Patrick introduce him to. This is a

wonderful watch for young adults, especially high schoolers.

It teaches us that no matter the hardships one might face,

there will always be a way out. Personally, The Perks of

Being a Wallflower is an all-time favorite movie of mine.

​For those of us who love online shopping, we all know 
the feeling of checking the shopping cart total and closing the

tab, realizing that you wouldn’t be able to afford the items in your

cart. If you’re looking for affordable shopping sites that’ll let you

shop to your heart’s content, check out these stores!
​

1. Aliexpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/)

Aliexpress is a Chinese website that sells anything that

you can think of, from vacuums and cellphones to

clothing and furniture. The prices are dirt cheap; you

can buy clothing for $3 and stationary for 50 cents.

Aliexpress is known for selling many dupes for designer

clothing and makeup as well. The shipping is always

free with no minimum amount required. However,

packages usually take many weeks to deliver because

of the lengthy process of China customs. If you’re into

good deals and can wait patiently for your items, then

this store is for you.


2. Stuff You Can Afford

(http://www.stuffyoucanafford.com/)

Stuff You Can Afford compiles quirky and interesting

items from Amazon that are all under $20. You can buy

1500 ladybugs, LED color changing faucet, or even

stink bombs. If you’re interested in an item the site will

directly take you to Amazon, where you can purchase

it. Items from Stuff You Can Afford make great gifts for

friends.


3. Jolse (http://jolse.com/)

Jolse is a Korean cosmetics website, selling a wide

variety of skincare and makeup products at an

unbelievable price. All of its products are from popular

Korean brands such as Etude House, Nature Republic,

and Tony Moly. Even if you’re not familiar with Korean

cosmetics, it is worth a try given the prices. You can

buy eyebrow pencils for $4, eyeliner for $8, and packs

of face masks for only $10! After shopping on Jolse,

looking at Sephora will be a drastic change.


4. SheIn (http://us.shein.com/)

SheIn is an online fashion store, with items similar to

Zara’s, at a fraction of the cost. Tops and blouses are

usually about $10-$20, with dresses averaging about

Hanging out with friends is fun, especially in the summer where

the three months are fair game for adventures and lazy days. As

enjoyable being with a group of people can be, I cherish my alone

time greatly. Typically, being with people can leave me beyond

exhausted. Enjoying my own company is something that I

learned over time, and I’d love for other people to find out how to

enjoy theirs!

ABH Modern Renaissance Pallette

7/22/2016

‘Renaissance’, from the French ‘naissance’ means birth. The Renaissance was

the rebirth of art in a time of stony-faced practicality and low spirits. The

Renaissance was about inspiration and exploration, and that energy is deftly

harnessed in Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Modern Renaissance eyeshadow palette.

The Modern Renaissance palette comes with fourteen 0.02-ounce shadows.

Compared to the beloved Urban Decay Naked palette, that’s less than half the

amount of product per shadow, but with the Modern Renaissance palette, you do get

two more shadows than the Naked palette for $12 less. You get ten matte shades,

and four stunning shimmer shades. It’s a warm-toned palette, featuring mostly

neutrals and a few berry shades, all with Renaissance themed names that really add

to the very classic vibe of palette. I wouldn’t say that these eyeshadows are the most

pigmented, but they are incredibly buttery, blendable, and can be built up to be very

opaque. The color selection is really reminiscent of richly vibrant Renaissance

paintings, and is surprisingly incredibly versatile. In the few weeks that I’ve had this

palette, I’ve been create such wildly different looks, whether it be a casual and

natural eye, a dramatic smoky eye, or a soft terracotta poolside look; the

possibilities are as endless as your imagination. My palette is looking so rough

because it has become my go-to. Honestly, the magic of this palette is how inspiring

it is. I’m not sure if it’s the elegant soft pink faux suede packaging, the shade names

that transport you to the sun-kissed beaches of the Italian coast, or the refined, but

not stuffy or expected color selection.

Now, I was planning of filling this review to the brim with Renaissance

themed puns, but my pun reserve was fresc-out, and honestly this palette can really

stand on it’s own without any extra sauce. This is an incredible palette for travel

thanks to its slim packaging. It comes with a duo-sided brush, and a large, decent

quality mirror. For only $42, this palette is a great deal, and is absolutely stunning

for creating both breezy and heartbreaking summer looks.
