Single During Cuffing Season?

Pinks

Go ahead and call me basic, but Fall has got to be one of my favorite seasons of the year. I can't be the only one who loves when the leaves start changing color and the sweet scent of Pumpkin Spice Latte's begins to waft out of every Starbucks within walking distance, can I? Aside from my personal favorites, there are many other aspects of Fall that make it an exciting time of year for everyone. There's the start of baseball season, football season and even cuffing season. If you don't know what cuffing season is, Urban Dictionary defines it as the time of year when, as the weather starts getting colder, "new relationships start and old relationships turn into engagements."

Neutrals

Ladies, I know you'll all pretty much agree when I say the Summer of 2015 is OVER. Now before you get all technical about it, I know that summer doesn't officially end until September 22, but from what I can see all the signs point to it being just about gone.

At the beginning of the summer, we were all pretty much dead-set on having a perfect bodies. However by the end of the summer it was obvious the majority of us chose to forgo fitness in favor of food, friends and fun. The scary…

Are you looking for Mr or Miss Right?

Pinks

Are you still looking for the one? Bored of being single and are ready to mingle??? It’s claimed nowadays that women tend to focus more on their career then settling down and having a family.

Reds

Now I don't know about you, but I've been dying for a three day weekend and luckily for me Labor Day Weekend 2015 was EVERYTHING. Labor Day, which was celebrated this year on Monday, September 7th, is a national holiday honoring the American labour movement and all of the hard workers in the USA. In honor of being honored, I spent the weekend hanging out with friends, having one on one time with Netflix and paying a visit to every barbecue within a three block radius. While enjoying all of the deliciously free food at a friend of a friend's poolside barbecue party, I overheard two women in an intense argument with a man who just spilled barbecue sauce on one of their all white ensembles.
