Mascara Review/ New Blow-dryer

Ok I know this is my second make-up related entry but I wanted to talk about these things anyway. I've had a hard time finding mascara that's good and not crazy expensive. I recently got my second tube of Cargo Texas Lash. Before I bought it the first time I read reviews on it. People were saying that it only works well if you have long lashes to begin with. The brush is big but the mascara still goes on without being clumpy. The mascara actually smells good. It doesn't hold a curl as well as I'd hoped. But that's what eyelash curlers are for. I've tried to other mascara's but I either didn't like them or I did like them but they were too expensive.

I also bought a new hair dryer which was long over due. It has two attachments. One is straightener so I can blow dry my hair straight and not have to use my straightener as much. The other one is a diffuser. The lady at the hair salon used it on me. I liked it. It made me be able to have my natural curly hair and it not be a big mess. I've only used the diffuser on my hair once I want to keep on using it before I do a full review on it. I'd also want to get a curling iron to use as well.

Stepping Back in Journalism Job Searches

So yesterday I decided to take a look at journalismjobs.com to see what's going on with Journalism job market. I found some internships to apply to (paid of course) and a couple jobs around the country. I decided to take a break from applying to journalism jobs for a bit to keep from getting frustrated. I'm gonna look at my cover letter and change it up at bit but keep the basic format. Make sure everything is in order and whatnot. I think I'll head off to a coffee shop today and work on that before I start applying. I want to have applied to everything in my list I made in the next two weeks especially since a two of the three internships deadlines are November 1. Plus the earlier you submit applications the better chance you have of getting in. I also need to read my articles to actually pick good ones. I have print articles in my print portfolio that I might just type up so I can send those ones in as well. I also might send my review of Jolly Pumpkin I did on here the other day.
