levels during the day and can reach freezing temperatures during the night. Also, sandstorms can make travelling through the landscape a hassle if a soldier or anyone isn’t well prepared for them when they happen. The final image is a scene of a desert ruin. In the foreground, there is a palm tree. And, in the background, there are what appear to be rock formations in the shapes of destroyed house. This is another imagery that is seen by soldiers who are sent to fight in desert…

Airbrush Contouring 101 One of the biggest concerns city girls like me have in the summer is that liquid foundations and contouring powders seem to melt the moment I leave the house. And it’s not only about the finish or quality of makeup products I pick -- the City is just way too hot to wear makeup.

In “Boesman and Lena”, Lena is constantly referring to all the walking they do but they never really go anywhere but move in a circular motion. The expectation of a different result but there being no change in the action is what makes this absurd and emphasizes the futility of their…
