So Oxygen network recently aired season 2 of Best Ink, which is a show formatted similarly to Top Chef and Project Runway but with tattooing. Best Ink is currently the only show I watch (I don't really like television) and I'm extremely fond the show. It features a flash challenge, which i s a short designing challenge such as designing a sneaker for Pastry, and designing a fender guitar. After the flash challenge, the show features an Ink Challenge, where the tattooers have to create a certain tattoo for their client and then their work is judged by tattoo hall-of-famers such as Joe Capobianco and Sabina Kelley.
I hope that Brittany wins this season, she is a rocker from Texas who specializes in classic tattooing. Classic tattooing features bold colors and strong line work.

Maxi Skirts
I personally really like this trend because you can wear it with a simple shirt and belt while looking totally put together and trendy (as seen above) without having to spend alot of money or time on your outfit. I hope to add a few new maxi skirts to my wardrobe this season.
How Animals Eat Their Food (Funny Vid)
So this video "How Animals Eat Their Food" GEEKS ME. it really isn't anything special but its just really funny because the guys don't laugh at all and keep a serious face throughout the whole video. The main guy looks so dumb jumping around the table and everything, its just hilairious in a childish way. Surprisingly, it went viral and in about a week it got 40 million views!

Blogging Lessons!
3 Lessons I’ve learned
From Blogging
Well after blogging
in our marketing class for about 4 or 5 months we’ve learned a lot of reasons
that blogging has become more relevant in the business market as well as
personal. I already had a blog on tumblr but it was very informal and didn’t
have a true purpose. But the blogs we’re doing in this class all have a focal
point and general topic for the posts we share. Of course this blog is only for
a class project, the purpose behind it is a much more important lesson than a
grade.
Lesson #1: Whats
the Point?
Every blog, article,
ect. has to have a point to it, nobody wants to read pages of information
without a rationale. Therefore if I want to write my own articles about how to
make a dress on a website, they have to contain the information that people are
looking for such as sewing tips, fabrics, and so on. This idea also relates to
having a focal point, or generalizing what your webpage is about. Without this
clarity, people may not want to revisit your page or recommend it to their
friends, and that’s very important when it comes to networking.
Lesson #2: Know
about what You’re Writing
I learned this
slightly the hard way. My blog was about fashion, which is a general topic. So
I wrote about all sorts of fashion, but this was proven to be slightly
difficult because I don’t know everything about every aspect of the fashion
world. I understand the summery, vintage, diy, side of fashion whereas the
couture world was much more new to me to analyze and comment about. But of
course when writing about a broad topic you may run into topics you’re not as
familiar with, so in that case you read about the subject and find new information.
It may seem like more work to do, but your article/blog post will the issue.
Lesson #3: Blogging
is Business
So before this project
I thought blogging was simply a hobby that many people enjoyed as a way of
expression, but after taking notes on blogging and having to construct my own
blog I’ve realized a blog is a great way of networking, promoting businesses,
and starting your own entrepreneurship. Many companies have their own blogs and
employees who blog about the current events regarding the company and its
updates. Therefore, this project taught us a huge skill that we can put on resumes
when applying to jobs and it can also open many doors for us in certain job
fields.
