 Have you ever seen someone actually shed tears immediately after walking into a store? This past weekend I went to a conference in Dallas, Texas. After the conference we went and did what any self respected women would do- go shopping. One of my friends was absolutely dying to go to the Galleria in Dallas for one reason and one reason alone- Morphe.  Morphe is a makeup brand created in 2008.

Before I came to college- in fact the whole reason I decided to pick Mass Communications as a major was because I was interested in the music industry. Specifically writing and the public relations aspect of it. After two and half years of studying this major my interests have broadened, but the topic of music is something I am still passionate about. I chose a band's album that I am a huge fan of, and something I could write about easily. This is all a drawn out explanation of why this will probably be my longest post for this class. Silent Planet is a band that is truly hard to describe. I may be biased, but I feel like they are bringing something new to their genre. There is a lot of debate about what genre they are exactly. A quick google search lists these as the genre types they may fall un...
