Fashion Forward

Fashion, like history, is said to always repeat itself.  This spring season I’ve found that a majority of the magazine covers I’ve glanced at have one thing in common, pattern. Familiar beauties in Hollywood are featured in magazines sporting hot red lips, and bold hues for this spring's early awakening.

One of my all-time favorite magazines is Nylon , which is an eclectic magazine that displays trends ranging from rocker chic to pretty in pink casual wear. Nylon also offers a great mix of art, film and music in their magazine which are all important aspects in the world of fashion. With high end brands like Armani and Marc Jacobs, to more laidback brands like Quicksilver and Volcom, it’s no wonder this magazine has so many positive reviews on their “Par Avion” page. Every issue of Nylon magazine that I pick up has readers from across the globe expressing their gratitude to the people at Nylon for making their mag appeal to every fashionista on the spectrum.

Stress

We are all humans. Thus, we are faced with stressful situations day to day. This kind of stress can ruin a whole day if not dealt with properly. Being a college student, I experience times of stress on a regular basis, the kind that makes me want to rip my hair out! But I do try and practice some strategies that help minimize its affects. 

My Stress Remedies

Prior to spring break, I was faced with midterms and papers that seemed I’d never be able to tackle. The amount of stress I was experiencing was normal for a college student balancing school and work, but I had enough. Usually when I experience an overwhelming amount of stress I try and sort through my daily activities and find that they are all small stuff. You know that saying, “don’t sweat the small stuff”? That is a mantra that everybody should live by. We are all faced with feeling like there aren’t enough hours in the day, or that what is demanded from us is unrealistic. But, the key is realizing that you are in control of your life is the foundation of managing stress.

The Big (Bad?) Social Media Craze

Yes, it is now the Year of the Dragon! Or should I say year of “the social media outbreak?” To parents out there, you might notice how often your child is glued to his/her phone. Being one of those tech savvy teenagers, I can assure you that it is somewhat “normal,” behavior. But, is there a place where you should draw the line?

The “L” Word

Whether you’ve fallen in love before, dreamt about it or currently enjoying it as you are reading this, you can imagine love is a beautiful thing. Thanks to Disney Princess’, we’ve been accustomed to the belief and plan that we women are put on this earth to find our “prince charming.” Or better yet, have him find us.

Whether you’re an independent woman, have this one guy friend, or are a hopeless romantic there’s good news for all of us- we don’t need a guy but it is nice to have someone who shares the same interest as we do.

Timing is Everything

It’s a Pleasure to Meet You!

Hello, Womensforum.com! My name is Briana Roldan, I am a 19 year old college student out of North Andover, MA. With this being my first blog entry, I’d like to touch base with you all on where I am at in my life and what types of things interest me. I believe that health comes first. I consider myself a gym-rat. Going to the gym is not only beneficial physically, but it is such a great tool to de-stress yourself! I love yoga, (preferably bikram) and hiking. I’ve hiked Mount Washington with my family every summer ever since I was a toddler. I also am a vegetarian and have been for about 4 years now. I’ve always admired the arts, and singing since early on in my childhood, finding myself in many plays, musicals and high school\college choir. Writing is also one of my main enjoyments. Ever since taking a journalism class my junior year of high school, I’ve been interested in pursuing it as a career.
