Everyone has them: that can’t-live-without-it eyeshadow, the mascara you would take as one of three items on a deserted island, an anti-aging serum you would grab if aliens were kidnapping you—we're talking about beauty must-haves.

While large carry-alls are popular this season, it only feeds the problem most women (guilty!) have of over-packing their purses. Toting around the necessities is one thing, but let’s face it, we usually have a little more than what’s actually necessary. So I've narrowed it down to the top five beauty essentials that you must have on-hand at all times. Oh,... CONTINUE READING 26

Our had me thinking about When Harry Met Sally, which in turn got me thinking about the hilarious days of the week underwear scene (remember Sally’s reasoning why Sunday didn’t exist?!). We searched around and found a few modern-day takes on the old-school (and usually childhood) fave. Hear us out, and share your opinion. I’m going to say that this sort... CONTINUE READING 34

Happy November, Shecksters! After a Halloween weekend, we predict that this Monday will be a slow one (wah wah wah), and we don’t know about you, but we could desperately use a break…ASAP! Last week, Gina told us that when she needs to de-stress on a Monday (or any day), she plays solitaire. While we won’t appreciate getting blamed for playing... CONTINUE READING 21

As we get older, indulging on Halloween shifts from candy to candy’s older and slightly more evil counterpart, booze. Weekends in general usually mean more party and less sleep, and the fiesta atmosphere is amplified on a holiday weekend like the one that just passed! Basically, it's Monday morning, I know you're hungover and at your desk feeling scary-sick. So, I... CONTINUE READING 22

Who: Shakira (featuring Dizzee Rascal) What: “Loca” Where: See her "Loca" video on Vevo.com Why: We all know that Shak’s “hips don’t lie” and we’re happy to report that she's back after a brief hiatus, and her hips are as honest as ever! The video for “Loca” is set beach-side with Shakira clad in a bikini (would we expect anything different?!), and the... CONTINUE READING 8

The big day is here! Time to dress up like a fool, drink like no one knows who you are (for once, this might be true) and pray that the embarrassing photos don't make their way to Facebook (this is probably inevitable). We at Shecky’s wanted to wish you a Happy Halloween and see what you’re up to on this... CONTINUE READING 12

Always Sunny Aficionado: One of the reasons I love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is how the sheer political incorrectness/ridiculousity brings light to otherwise serious issues. Plus, the self-centered “gang” and their band of unique acquaintances have an infinitely entertaining amount of quirks. I’m here every week to give you the scoop on what I think…and hear what you have... CONTINUE READING 6

It seems that my boyfriend and I are forever fighting over "our" iPod, and while I may humor his view that it is a 'shared' appliance, the truth is that it's mine! I am not in the slighest bit ashamed of my musical tastes (I frequently whine to Mumford & Sons and screech out to Gaga) but seeing as my boyfriend...
