Make Up - Airbrushing

So considering I am going to go into the cosmetology field I've been looking around at airbrushing make up kits. Seeing what all the buzz is about....and ladies I fell in love! Air brushing is what is using on all the stars and models to give that perfectly smooth look. If done right you have seamless natural looking make up. That " I just rolled out of bed and look this damn good" look every girl wants!

Here are some before and after pictures i just loved

Air brushing can be used on all types of skin, and used to cover things like scars,

blemishes, tattoo's, and many other skin imperfections.

Air brushing isn't just for foundation though! You can use it for eye shadow,

eye liner, blush, concealer, lip stick, eye lashes, AND on hair!

I just absolutely fell in love! I really would loooove to be able to get an airbrush kit

now but with my current situation it's not possible! So any donations would be much

appreciated and go toward my airbrush kit as well as keeping me able to update my blog!

How far is too far - Video games

Okay I was born in the 90's i grew up playing Super Mario on NES, Mario Kart on N64 and the forever classic Zelda : Ocarina of Time. Now I'm 19 years of age, and my little brother whom is 14 is playing the PS3. He plays theses war games online and it kind of shocks me when he told me about theses games. The game he is playing now is Call of Duty : Modern Warfare. You use a long list of weapons which include nuclear and biological warfare to kill your ''enemies." I was also told that there is a mission in this game that you go through an airport only killing civilians. Now I looked this up and it IS INDEED in the game. You have the option to skip this mission due to the graphic nature of it.... You are placed in the shoes of a terrorist and openly slaughter hundreds of innocent people.

How in the world did that get okay'd??? I understand that there is an age restriction on such games, but come on how many parents are going to buy it for their children because they want them. I hear all the time that video games are too violent yada yada. Yet we still make video games like this?

Now the argument with this is that Grand Theft Auto is MUCH more violent and graphic then this. But that isn't even a valid argument. Since when is it okay to glamorize slaughtering civilians? The point is that THIS is what we are giving to our children and teenagers. Granted it IS the responsibility of the parents to monitor what their children play, but why even make games like this? Day after day i read in the news about teenagers and children being arrested for murder. Like in a world so full of violence already do we really need a fantasy world with MORE violence in it?

The Interesting Industry of Embalming

So I was watching CSI, and something came on about embalming. So it made me think....how exactly is embalming done? So I looked it up thanks to trusty Google*, and it really made me start thinking.... When we did start such invasive procedure? Back in the old days you put two coins on the deads eyes and cremated them. Most countries it isn't law to embalm, which is another odd things Americans do. I mean I understand the reason for embalming, so that we can mourn our dead, and view them and what not, but uh! I don't want that to happen to me! Very invasive, plus like dude I'm already dead....whats the point? Just like how i don't get it when people spend THOUSANDS of dollars on caskets, burial plots, funerals in general. Like it's on thing to respect the dead but good lord! My views on it, hey I'm dead cremate me! Just the random thoughts for today!

Sex & Society

I've been thinking lately a lot about sex in our society. On one hand sex is glamorized by Hollywood, and the media. On the other hand sex is still considered such a taboo subject. Movies/TV shows like "Sex in the City" (which i just happen to love!) is one of those shows that make sex a normal ever day thing. They make a ''taboo'' subject acceptable to talk about in a SOCIAL setting and I love it! We live in 2010.... why should sex be considered a hush hush thing? Granted I'm not saying go and have sex with everything that moves! But I don't get why in this day and age it should be shameful to speak out? The way my best friend and I am reminds me a lot of the ladies from "Sex in the City''. We speak about sex like it's absolutely no big deal. I just don't get what the point of being so secretive about sex is? It is a perfectly normal and natural thing. Now there are definitely the wrong and right times for certain conversations, but if you are out to lunch or dinner with friends I don't understand why a tasteful conversation about sex is given dirty and shocked looks? Puh-lease like they don't have sex.... well if that's how they treat sex conversations....maybe they don't have sex!
