Now some of us may actually be athletic and love the feeling of working out and the post-sweat glow. Some of us (like this collegiette), however, would rather walk to the fridge, the mall or the couch, rather than to the gym. This lack of athletic motivation doesn’t stop us anti-gym ladies in wanting to look like we just drank a green juice, ate a kale salad and finished an intense Pilates session. So, here’s how you can get that athletic vibe, without breaking a sweat. Step 1: Buy something w

Elias León went on a third-year exchange to Sciences Po in Paris while he was studying toward his uOttawa honours bachelor in international studies and modern languages. He found his first unpaid position with the UN by cold-calling the Canadian delegation to the Paris-based UNESCO, which led to an offer from the Saint Lucia delegation to serve as an adviser. His responsibilities included voting on behalf of the small Caribbean nation at UNESCO’s 37th General Conference in November 2013. After

Check out the hours and locations of all coffee shops on campus. Beware the lure of the fancy Frappuccino just before class. The line in this Starbucks can verge on chaotic, but try 15 minutes after any class start time, and early in the morning or late at night (but remember there are 8:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. classes). Like Starbucks, Second Cup on Laurier can fill all your coffee and sweet-concoction needs, but generally with a shorter line. The Second Cup in Morisset is also handy for those lat

This student group runs on a pay-what-you-can basis. Its mission is to serve healthy, environmentally friendly and vegan meals to students on campus. Meals are cooked and served by student volunteers once a week from 11 a.m. until noon in the UCU Terminus. (Check the dates on their Facebook page.) Don’t forget to bring your reusable plates or containers — and consider helping out with the cooking if your morning is free. CAFÉ is like crowdfunding for free food. When students find events or plac

Fall is this collegiette's favourite fashion season. From plaid blanket scarves and capes, to knee high boots with tights; fall fashion trends are in full effect. Now all we need is a favourite fall face to match these fully fall outfits. So what makes a perfect fall face? Start by being inspired by the warm and rich colours that this season brings. Below are the elements that can make any make-up look fabulously autumnal. Wear each one individually or all together, either way embrace the chill

YouTube is a paradise for all things fashion and beauty. Whatever look you want to try, there’s an abundance of videos to help. This over-saturation of content can make finding a favourite YouTuber to follow very difficult, so this collegiette is here to help! The YouTuber I’m loving right now is Claire Marshall! She’s an L.A.-based freelance make-up artist turned tatted-up beauty vlogger whose polished bad girl look transcends all of her videos. All of her videos are beautifully filmed and mat

It’s time for our favourite (and only!) kind of stealing; it’s Steal Her Style! It’s the segment where we take a celeb’s iconic style and put it in your closet for less than $100. So, which Fashionista is up next? We are going to be stealing our favourite cool girl’s style, Cara Delevingne. No matter the occasion, she always looks fab, by rocking a smoky eye and bold lip or just keeping it natural. She frames her face with her luscious locks and she isn’t afraid to experiment with her hair thro
