Kristin, Audrina, Stephanie and Lo gather at a hotel and restaurant and realize they are all heading in a new and different directions. Stephanie says she has finally reached her "good place" but Audrina admits she is still searching and will possibly move out of Hollywood to focus on herself and find her way. Lo confesses she is ready to settle down with Scott, and Kristin reveals where she is going next. Stephanie and Lo talk about their dating lives and Kristin and Stacie talk about Kristin's big decision at Kristin's house to move to Europe for a fresh start. Kristin explains she is not moving because of Brody and his new girlfriend. Meanwhile, Stephanie makes it official with the guy she was dating by expressing her feelings. At Brody's condo Kristin drops by to let him know she will be leaving town and invite him to her going away party. He refuses to celebrate her leaving but Kristin hopes to see him there. Meanwhile, Audrina gives Stephanie a tour of her new home in Hermosa Beach, CA and giving Audrina the news that her and Josh are officially a couple. Audrina admits that she will not attend Kristin's going away party and rather say goodbye one on one because she wants a break from the party scene. The rest of the group shows up at the Hollywood Roosevelt to say goodbye to Kristin. A few minutes later, Brody surprises everyone by making an appearance and Kristn gives him one last chance to explain. Brody admits that he doesn't want her to leave with sad eyes, leaving Kristin all teary eyes but refuses to change her mind. The next day Lo and Scott officially moved in together in Manhattan Beach and he admits to her that he is ready to make a long term commitment and spend the rest of his life with her because she is perfect. Also, Kristin is about to get into the car and ride to the airport, when Brody dropped by to see her one last time. Brody admits to Kristin he never would have started things with someone else if he'd known it would mean having to watch her leave. However, Kristin states that she is still leaving . After a quick flashback of The Hills memories, the camera pans out and we see the entire crew watching the action, the exterior of Kristin's apartment replaced by a Hollywood sound stage. Kristin hops out of the car, laughs and gives Brody a hug. Which ends the sixth and final season of the Hills.

Being Healthy on a Budget and Time Limit!!!

2010-06-09T16:45:00.000-07:00

Everyone knows that when your in college it's hard to stay healthy and exercise regularly, with pop quizzes every week and a budget that can only afford the dollar menu that is mostly filled with unhealthy food choices a healthy habit during your college years is hard as getting a A in a difficult class. However, here are some tips Social Butterfly would like to share with you....

1. Getting enough sleep.....it is important to balance schedules, college students are known for putting sleep low on their list of priorities. However, without sleep it is difficult to concentrate in most of your classes, therefore, try and get 7 to 8 hours of sleep or take regular naps into your schedule.

2. Eat breakfast.....which means you should not skip breakfast because it causes weight gain and also make it hard to stay focus during class hours. However, you can eat a small portion for breakfast such as a bowl of cereal and a cup of yogurt with your favorite fruit which is a great choice.

EATING TIPS:

Breakfast.....sit down and enjoy a morning meal such as a bagel or English muffin topped with low-fat cream cheese or cottage cheese, a piece of fruit and 100% fruit juice.

Lunch....choose wisely when it comes to lunch. College students love pizza its quick to eat and affordable, however, choose a pizza with half the cheese and add a veggie to your topping. You can also try a regular size roast beef sandwich with light mayo or no mayo and low fat cheese, a green salad with reduced calorie dressing. Limit on your intake of high fat fried food such as french fries, fried chicken or fish sandwiches and be careful of fatty salad dressing such as mayonnaise based dressing & bacon bits.

Snacking.....keep in hand healthful snacks especially during the day and late night studying, stay away from the vending machine. Try a fresh or dried fruit, baked pretzels, un-buttered popcorn, whole wheat cracker and rice cakes.

3. Eat sensibly.....students gain weight mostly when eating late at night and overeating on junk food. Which means you should set a specific time between the hours of 5pm to 8pm to eat dinner and for late night snacking try a healthy choice like fruits or water to give you a full feeling.

4. Drinking Intake......if you drink alcohol, remember that alcohol is high in calories. Try a light beer, a glass of wine, or a ounce of liquor which contains 100 calories. But please remember that there are serious health problems related to drinking alcohol so please be careful when in taking alcohol. Also, remember to drink lots of water which your body needs at least 8 glasses per day. Try to stay away from high sugary drinks like sodas and juices, but remember to carry a water bottle along to class and keep it close during study sessions.

EXERCISE

1....Try to exercise 2 to 3 times weekly with a lot of Cardio workout which includes working out on the treadmill, stationary bikes, and the StairMaster for time period of 25 minutes (try to work out in a perfect time that is comfortable for you when working out during the first couple of days).

2......If you can not fit in time to workout at the campus rec center, here is a great tip instead of driving to class leave home or your dorm in a perfect time and walk to your class which is a great exercise routine.

Remember, being healthy is important and nourishing our bodies whether by eating healthy, resting, or exercising can help you feel better, cope with stress and perform better in class. ENJOY!!!!

Summer Makeup is as important as your Summer Outfit....

Social Butterfly is excited to let you know the tips on how to keep an oil free and spotless face that will take you through the hot summer day to the sultry night.

Also, just like clothing colors are also in when it comes to cosmetics.....which means it is okay to step out the box and try eye popping eyeshadow that will give you a gorgeous look....

Before applying makeup, apply an ice cube on a clean face because this method clean your face as this clogs the pores and skin becomes more matte. If you have a mixed or oily skin, apply a gel cream or special moisturizing lotion in order to prevent the sebum outbreak.
Even thought specialists say that it is better to avoid Foundation during summertime, if you really need foundation it is better to choose a moisturizing matte one.
For natural look, you can successfully replace foundation with powder. Even though powder is not strongly recommended either, if you still decide to use it, choose it in a light, smooth texture and colors such as golden-brown, raspberry pin, dark red or a darker pink.
Always avoid applying bronze powder just after applying moisturizing cream. This will make the process much more difficult. Your skin should be dry. Apply it along the forehead, nose bridge, cheeks, a bit on the chin and neck.

DAYTIME MAKEUP

Use natural colors for eyeshadow such as beige, warm shades of brown, pink and orange. You can use a black or brown mascara once you don't overload your eyelashes. Avoid lip liner and go for lip gloss and colors such as bronze, pink, beige, or peach.

EVENING MAKEUP

Now in the evening you are mostly allowed to use foundation, but still try not to use to much. As for the makeup, choose what part do you want to accentuate, whether it will be your lips or your eyes. In both cases you can use a mascara. For a night out with the girls or with the BF, in a club, you should avoid using foundation (your choice). Use powder instead and take it with you if you feel like refreshing your makeup. For eyes you can choose metallic and colors on your lower lashes that complement your outfit and a holographic lip gloss for your lips. Make sure all products that are used are transfer resistant.

Eyeshadow Tips

Eyeshadow plays a key role in makeup as it can help define the eyes, enhancing their beauty and making them stand out more. Eyeshadow is available in various forms, from cream to powder. The greatest thing about eyeshadow is that there are a variety of shades, from nudes to neon's and from matte colors to shimmery. This summer the eyeshadow colors used are warm and style. Colors such as orange, turquoise, green, blue, lavender, pink, violet, yellow are popular for this season.
