“Less is more” when it comes to CSUSB student’s Spring fashion
By Dalal Museitef |Asst. Features Editor| Lengthy layers, Doc Marten boots and patterned pants are swarming the halls of CSUSB in this year’s Spring fashion trends. At times, implementing bright colors into your wardrobe can make or break your outfit unless you’ve mastered it with confidence and correctness. What most people should incorporate in their style is the phrase, “less is more.” Enough with heels that hurt way too much to wear or as some may say, “beauty is pain”, the spiked hair that’s as hard as a rock and has no movement, the tight jeans that constrain your every movement, or the “messy” hair bun that takes weeks to perfect and ends up resembling a nest. You can … [Read more...] about “Less is more” when it comes to CSUSB student’s Spring fashion

Wallet-friendly beauty suggestions to Coyotettes
By Daleth Quintanilla | Staff Writer There are seven inexpensive ways to look and feel good that college students need to know. Beauty regimens at a salon or spa can be pretty pricey and let's face it, as college students we cannot afford to go to the salon every week. Let's do some simple math: a particularly high-maintenance person such as myself needs to have manicured hands every week, and that's $25 a week for a simple gel manicure. Weekly manicures mean every month we are spending one hundred dollars solely on nails, $100 equates to $1,200 a year, and that's the cost of just a manicure. What about a pedicure or facial? When you look good, you feel good, and even though … [Read more...] about Wallet-friendly beauty suggestions to Coyotettes
