beauty soup (inspired by fuzkittie)

I LOVE SOUP. soup has got to be my favorite food in the world. I love it pipping hot, so it slides down your mouth and warms up your stomach. the perfect thing for a really cold day.
So, latley i've been watching alot of fuzkittie on youtube, and was really intrigued by her beauty soup video. I tried it out, and it was deeeleciousss.
Heres what I did:

1. Boiled water in a pot, put in a few bay leaves for flavor.
2. chopped up one carrot, 3 small potatoes, half an onion, 3 mushrooms, and one tomato.
3. put everything into the pot when the water boiled.
4. Let everything boil on high heat for about 10 minutes
5. added about 3 spoonfulls of miso paste (can be bought in asian super markets), as well as salt and pepper.
6. stirred the soup, and tasted. added a little more seasoning.
7. let everything boil for about 5 minutes.
8. added brown rice
9. ate it!  (:

it was really quick and easy, as well as delicious! if your interested in fuzkitties video, look here --------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh8i8mcajgM

Great Lash (lots of lashes) mascara

Its been a while since I've done a review, and todays product is the Great lash (lots of lashes) mascara by maybelline.

I saw this in target for about $5, and was instantly drawn in by the cute packaging. I have tried the original great lash mascara (and hated it), and was hoping that this mascara would be alot better due to the new rubber brush. I have to say that it is an improvement from the terrible great lash mascara, but this mascara still isnt the amazing product I was hoping to discover.

CONS:

- The brush, although very cute, is too small and is also awkward to manuever.

- I find that it makes my  lashes quite clumpy

- it takes a very long time for me to put on mascara, compared to my lashblast which takes me seconds.

- gives no volume

PROS

- doesnt smudge on me

- makes lashes very lengthened

- CHEAP!!

I am not very fond of this mascara, and I will not be purchasing it again. I would rate this a C+ just because it is a decent mascara that does it's job, but its not AMAZING. the clumpiness is not appreciated as well.
