Lisa Eldridge is a makeup artist and content creator, with her own line of makeup. She also has a blog tab at the top called “My World,” where she has her portfolio as well as other things relating to her career, makeup, and makeup history. I searched up makeup tutorials and filtered the results so that I got content between 2008-2016. A video from 12 years ago titled “Glowing,Youthful Day MakeUp Tutorial For Mature Skin” was among the top results and I clicked on it. I clicked on her youtube page and clicked to read her bio: she wrote a book about makeup history, she only uses products she likes or wants to try, and it really struck me to read that she doesn’t accept payment for product endorsement. It leads me to believe that makeup is a true passion of hers not just something she does for profit, so I scrolled down to the link portion and went to her website to “My World,” specifically the blog. The formatting of her website is very uniform, I like that there are pictures for every headline/title of the website. I don’t love that some of the fonts are really small, but I’m assuming it’s for the sake of fitting wordier titles without cutting off the name or risking a cluttered look. I would recommend, she has a lot of content and she is clearly established in her career as a makeup artist and has been working in this particular industry for a while.
I searched welding tutorials and selected the first result. It’s a video about welding for beginners. Steve Christena is the instructor in this video and he goes over three types of welding, what circumstance each type is best appropriate for, and what types of metals are best to use for each process. I would recommend, they are a credible source. They have videos from as far back as 19 years ago and have been posting up until now a few days ago.
Bluey and Bingo’s Fancy Restaurant Cookbook: Yummy Recipes, for Real Life
I searched for cookbooks for kids, which gave me suggestions from Amazon. I went there and scrolled until I saw the Bluey cookbook. It caught my eye because my niece is really into the show. I took a look at the pages and it seems like the type of book where kids can help their parents and I thought that was sweet and a good way to bond. I also tried clicking on another cookbook that said your toddler can help out (not a Bluey one), but that one was more for the parent in my opinion it was more plain and had sections where the parent can write when they made the recipe and how that went. The Bluey cookbook was more visually appealing with pleasant color schemes that I’m guessing coordinate with the cartoon. The wording wasn’t too complicated. It was made for kids 4+, so they could read along depending on their reading level. I would recommend it, the recipes are legitimate and they are from a cartoon so they would have to make sure the recipes are correct to keep credibility with parents and their children. I might even buy it, assuming my niece is still into Bluey by the time she turns 4 (she’s barely 1).
