School is just around the corner. While summer has been fun, we all knew it had to come to an end eventually.

Swimsuit Shopping Stress

Colleen O'Quinn — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 12:15:13 +0000

I don't try on swimsuits. By now, I know which ones look acceptable, and just buy them. There are few things worse than going into a store and trying on a swimsuit. First of all, don't stores know they would sell a lot more if they had good lighting and a 'good' mirror?

REI Special!

Erin Phillips — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:01:18 +0000

ATTENTION ALL MY FELLOW SNOW LOVERS! REI has such a killer deal right now! I didn't know, but REI is actually a coop. You can buy a lifetime membership for $20 and it gives you 10% off everything, discounts on shop services and rentals, access to some exclusive huge sales, ect. Anyhoo - my snowboard needed a little TLC so I called around checking into the prices of the local shops. For a wax and edge fix it was going to run $50. Considering I can wax my own board, I just needed the edges done - I was not all that stoked to pay that much money.
