Blog 3&4

Two blogs I follow are listed below:

1. From Head to Toe is a fashion, make-up, nail (and all-around girly) blog all in one. I find watching Jen's tutorials refreshing and interesting. She uses her face as a canvas; it gives me an artistic outlook on how someone can blend colors and manipulate shadow in their favor. Not only does she talk about make-up but she also posts information and shares stories on her travels, which are also interesting to read. One thing that especially attracted me to her blog was that she made makeup tutorials for monolids (eyelids without a crease). Make-up tends to not show up and eventually smear for those who have monolids, but tutorials found in this blog effectively get around those problems. She has many pictures of her finished looks, which provide the viewer a quick preview.

2. The blog of Kevin (MD) gives updates on the top stories of medicine. As I am curious about how life is in the medical profession, I often read his blog for insight on how doctors deal with difficult real-life situations (as opposed to those seen on TV). He holds a very professional tone; many articles on his blog are resourceful and pertinent to today's scientific world. I consider becoming a doctor a tentative path for my career, so I find the readings especially interesting - perhaps they will be a part of my future.

The two blogs are different as Jen's blog is more personal and artsy/creative. By contrast, Kevin's blog is factual and information-based. Both blogs encompass ideas from other sources. Kevin's blog includes postings of different physicians, and Jen's blog has linked videos and websites of her make-up inspirations. Although the topics that are found on either blogs are on nearly opposite ends of the spectrum, I enjoy both; they provide useful as well as interesting information.
