Scam Alert: Blue Whale Publishing

Innocent people everywhere get scammed every day. I happen to be one of them. I thought that the scammed were oblivious and probably lacked common knowledge. If It happened to be, it will probably happen to you.

Last Friday afternoon I got a call from a random number. Since it wasn't blocked, I answered anyway. The girl named "Jennifer" gave me some great news. I won a $1000 dollar online shopping spree. after hearing this I let her tell me whatever. I didn't care. I won $1000 dollars. She knew my first name and my cell. I figured it was real. They even knew my new address. But, there was a catch. I'd have to subscribe to some magazines. It was only 40 for me since I got a "student discount". Then she gave me a confirmation number: 1221. Then she said I'd get a call back.

One hour later I got a call from "Nathan". Nathan wanted me to pay with my card on the phone. I went ahead because lots of places have you pay by phone. Look at all the stuff thats sold to us on tv. he even knew the first number on my card. Then he asked for my 3 digit security code on the back. I didn't care. I was already ready to shop it up on the net. While Nathan was doing this he was hitting on me. He said he wanted me to come to Tampa and buy me a drink. He said if something went wrong he'd clean our house. I should have been worried. But, I guess he's gonna have to do a lot of scrubbing when I get a hold of that jerk. He's also going to have to buy me a little more than a drink.

As soon as I got of the phone I had a weird feeling. They called me again! When my mom got home I told her the news. She wasn't thrilled. She told me to check my account. The money was gone. I google the company. It's a scam according to every site that came up. The same thing happened to everyone else.

I closed my account and ordered a new card. I told my friend about it and apparently her boyfriend got a call from the same people. The said he'd get a diamond ring.

Make Up Techniques for the Busy Ladies.

We live in a society where it is essential to look your best. but looking your best doesn't mean you need to whore on your make up and dress like a prostitute. The purpose of make up and beauty products should be to bring out your best... not hide it or mask it.

I'm not good at too many things. But, I am good at looking good. I can go from looking like a sloppy jobless 20 year old to looking like a starlet. Are you ready to look your best?

1. Wash your face. Make up tends to spread better when your face isn't dirty. If you have acne, you should probably get face wash for that. If you don't then don't use acne products for the occasional break out. Your skin will just dry out. Kiehls has some great products. You can get products for your skin at www.kiehls.com. If you want to save some cash get Aveeno stuff from the drug store.

2. Primer. Primer evens our your skin surface and smothes it out. It's like spackle.
If you have a good foundation, you'll just compromise it's quality by not using a primer.

3. Foundation. if you realy need it pick a shade that matches or is a shade darker. Also buy sponges to spread. This could help blur out the line of demarcation. Like when your face is one color and your neck starts another color. It isn't cute. Also try using mineral make up. Like Bare Esscentals or Mineral Fusion(this is cheaper and can be found at Whole Foods or Whole body).

4. Bronzer. Don't go too bronze. Just a little for a glowing effect. Physician's Formula makes some good bronzers and so do the Mineral products I mentioned above.

5. Lips. Take a dry tooth brush and rub them on yor lips. It takes off dead cells and makes them look better. Also try using a pinkish lip stick. Red is okay if you can pull it off and don't plan on wearing any bright shadows. Stay away from oranges. They make your teeth look yellow. Don't use plumpers that are too powerful. they'll make your lips look gross and windburned.

6. Eyeshadow. Use a lighter shade under the brow and on lids. Then use a darker blendable shae in the crease. This creates a smokey effect. Urban Decay and Benefit make some amazing shadows.

7. Mascara. It's always good to use a mascara that isn't old becuase you will have clumps. Just throw it out when it gets chinky. Also check if the mascar you use has bat poop. because that is gross. Also use a curler. If your lshes are already long and curly. Still use one. They can never be too amazing.

8. Eyeliner. Use it on the top corners of your eye lids. There are very few people who pull off the whole top and bottom lid. the corners open your eye. All the lid will make them look beady.


These are the basics. Don't forget to blend.
