Ever since I came to own my first tube of clear Maybelline Great Lash eight years ago, makeup has been a part of my life. In grade school, I wasn’t allowed to wear it at all. Experimentation with my giant Markwins eyeshadow and lipstick palette — on sale at Robinsons-May, much to my middle school […]
Missing Migrants: Data Visualization Assignment
For my Diplomacy Lab course at OU, I created a map of missing migrants based on a data set given to us by our professors. I used Google Fusion Tables to create my map: Tips for using the map: Each point represents an incident where migrants were reported missing and/or found alive or deceased. Click […]
Totally Pointless Rant #1: (Who the H*ck Does) Eye Makeup Before Face Makeup
Alright, children. Gather ’round. I’m here to take you with me on my first foray into beauty blogging. True to brand, I figured I would start with something I know I’m good at: a rant.

When I started study abroad blogging, I did it partly for myself, and partly so my family could keep tabs on […]
I Think I’ll Go to Boston
Oh, wow. How committed I’ve been with this whole blogging thing, right? I don’t really feel as bad about it anymore though. It’s my blog, my space, my rules, etc. And I haven’t been entirely absent — the spring semester is in full swing, and I opened it with a column on The Daily‘s site […]
