The ColourPop Fall Makeup We Love


Oh em gee, can ColourPop be any more perfect...and affordable? Waiting for your package from ColourPop always leads to one thing: shopping for more ColourPop stuff, especially since fall is here! One of many things that sorority and non-sorority girls can relate to is makeup so we took it to the TSS streets to find out what are the fall makeup favorites from ColourPop and below are some awesome makeup colors to try for this fall season. Tip: with all of the Lippie Stix, be sure to buy its corresponding lip liner. Lip liner helps keep your lipstick in line and adds great definition to your lips. P.s. We just learned that you can skip the extra charges if you checkout using PayPal {secret steal}!

Boots With the {Faux} Fur


[1][2][3][4][5]

Too soon to talk about boots? Nahhhh! Of course, we started shopping around to all of the high end and low end faux fur boots and lucky for you, we compiled our favorites above! We are absolutely in love with faux fur boots with a nice heel like these cute ones from Ann Creek Ltd. Whenever we would walk around campus in the fall and winter, we were suckers for UGGS and these Lamo boots are a striking resemblance at a more affordable cost.

What are some of your favorite faux boots? Share with us below!

Game Day Glam

[image source]

Yay for football season! Gah, we missed those days of dressing up in our maroon and gold (GO SUNDEVILS!) to show off our school spirit. There are so many cute and fun ways to be game day glam so you can stand out from all of the other fans. First, head to Michael's Craftstore and snag some rhinestones. Deck your game day shirt with rhinestone bling and you will definitely catch people's attention. Buy fabric in your school's colors and cut them into strips. Tie each strip to a simple head tie and eventually it will be a cute ring of fabric on the head tie that you can tie onto your hair or even use as a fun form of a bracelet. You just can't go wrong buying eyeshadow and lip stick in your school colors. Colourpop is the absolute best site to snag the lipstick as their lip products are $5 {talk about a secret steal!}. Buy some fun accessories to throw around your neck like beads and pom poms to wave that you can get at Party City, Oriental Trading Company, or Stumps.

Whatever you do, get all decked out and rep your team to the fullest!

Why I Went Greek: Shyla Bassey From Delta Sigma Theta


School: Arizona State University
Sorority: Delta
Year You Pledged: Junior
Year Initiated: Spring 2009

What did you hear about sororities before you went through recruitment?

I believe every person has a desire to fulfill a greater purpose in their lives. When I was in high school, I was exposed to many of the NPHC organizations. At that time I did not know much, however I was certainly intrigued to learn more.

What encouraged you to go through recruitment? 

My freshman year on campus was a whirlwind, as for many! I immediately involved myself in numerous organizations on campus to be better acquainted with my new environment. What stood out was the involvement of the women of Delta Sigma Theta. They were small in number but mighty in representation. These women exemplified the way I wanted to be and held themselves to a high academic regard. So, as some wise women shared with me, "Do your research!" meaning, read about all organizations to ensure I know why I am pursuing and what stands out amongst the rest. My research made it even more clear and solidified my decision to pursue such a distinguished Sorority.

Joining Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. was the best decision I've made in my life. Being apart of a bond with such an illustrious history of trailblazing women who have paved the way, so that I can press forward and succeed is priceless.

How did your sorority develop you as a person?

I went Greek because I knew it was in my heart to be apart of a sisterhood of women who carried similar ideals. I wanted to serve a greater purpose in my community, on my Campus and through my daily life. Joining Delta Sigma Theta taught me perseverance, humility, dedication, how to efficiently multitask, run a meeting, organize events, effectively delegate, public speaking, and never to quit even when things go wrong! The lessons learned truly could go on.

If you could go back in time, what would you want to relive in your sorority?

Membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. does not end after college with alumnae chapters all over the world. If I could go back in time and relive my collegiate days, it would simply be spending time with my Chapter Sorors running the yard and hosting events on campus that served the greater need.

Thanks for sharing your sorority experience, Shyla!  If you have questions for Shyla leave them in the comment's section below!

The New Way To Take Notes!



Taking notes is something that you'll do at all ages whether you're in high school, college, or in the real world after college!  Some people prefer taking notes by hand in a notebook, but some prefer having everything on their computer so it's easy to keep everything in one place.  If you're like us and want to keep everything digital AND organized, we have the best kept secret for you that we're sharing today!

Even if you keep everything on your computer, files easily can get lost if you have a lot of different files and notes saved all over the place.  Google docs are also great, but collaborating on notes or sharing them has to be easier, right? Well it is if you take your notes using Evernote!  We've been using Evernote for our note taking/organization tool for quite some time now and as school starts up again, we thought our users can use this little magical tool!  Try it out!
