My Nighttime Routine

SKINNY BLACK HEADBAND

The same way I use it in the morning. Who wants to go to sleep with a wet, tangled mass of their hair stained with drops of toothpaste?

RED ORAL-B TOOTHBRUSH

This brush gives my teeth a makeover, but I do wish I had more toothbrushes like the Barbie one.

CREST COMPLETE TOOTHPASTE WITH EXTRA WHITENING SCOPE

The power of toothpaste combined with the power of mouthwash makes my entire mouth feel cleaner than ever.

CLEAN AND CLEAR NIGHT RELAXING DEEP CLEANING FACE WASH

This facial soap designated for the nighttime does relax my face. Because of this, I am able to sleep without worrying about anything affecting my skin.

Alex Lee is Just Another Cashier at Just Another Mall…What is So Special About That?

Even he did not want to be in the spotlight that much. It all started when a girl going by the Twitter name “@brooklynjreiff” went to a Target store in Frisco, Texas and secretly took a picture of the 16-year-old boy while he was packing purchased items into shopping bags for some customers. Then, another girl going by the Twitter name “@auscalum” retweeted the published picture and that is when the trending hashtag “#AlexFromTarget” started to become viral. Alex Lee started to notice that he was gaining a lot of unusual attention when his checkout line suddenly extended. Molly, the manager of the Target store he works at, finally told him why he has been attracting a crowd when she showed him the Twitter post on her phone. He does have a Twitter page, but he would not want to be the center of attention just by posting things online. He has a job at Target and he probably feels that it is a better life than that of someone who is “famous for being famous”. Alex started to really hate getting that much attention when online trolls began name-calling him and sending him death threats. As a result, he felt like he could never leave his house. He already had to battle his stage fright on the "Ellen" show. I feel that no one ever listened to Alex when he showed signs that he does not need a Twitter trend about him and he just wants to continue to live his ordinary life as a Target cashier. I mean, he is only 16 and his life has barely begun. In hindsight, “@brooklynjreiff” should not have fooled around sneaking pictures of boys working at malls and posted those “secrets” online. I feel like it is subtle trolling or cyberbullying. That girl was unknowingly making Alex a target of unwanted attention, no matter how positive it was. Alex does not need to be treated like the Queen of England just because he is just another pretty face with an ordinary job. There are tons of pretty-looking people who would prefer to take selfies instead of having others take pictures of them, or spy on them for pictures, nowadays. Even guys prefer to take photos of themselves in this time period. The bottom line is that Alex is a beautiful and smart human being, but there is no use spying on boys for secret photos to post online; Alex himself can take his own photos whenever and wherever he wants. He was not even looking for any attention from other people’s cameras anyway. And that girl who spied on him certainly was not carefully thinking about other people’s feelings when she decided to use her smartphone and make a fool out of herself and those surrounding her. I simply feel very bad for Alex, and I pity him. Let's just hope he can smoothly slide through his 15 minutes of fame without pulling a Mel Gibson on the world.

A trace of our presence, or I make selfies when there's actually nothing to do

I'm a self-proclaimed selfie taker among many. When there's nothing else for me to do, then I break out the front camera when the chance comes. It may seem awkward to you all, but I'm planning on following in Kim kardashian's footsteps in light of the fact that she will publish a photo book of selfies next year. When we publish our selfies, even when we're not around, there will always be a trace of our presence out there. Suppose Kim or any other selfie taker were about to die any second, which none of us hope or think to happen, social networking sites will always have a trace of our presence as a way of our legacy. I can live by that code because I publish my selfies where they deem worthy, such as Instagram, Facebook, google+, and here as of now. Over the summer, there have been a line of my selfies on twitter, and then flipagram came. Now when I can get as many photos as I can to fit into 15 seconds, I post videos of my selfies to Instagram. I'm not sure if I may be able to make my selfies google+ worthy again, but Tyra and Madge do so constantly! I probably should start following them again, on account of selfies are what made alena shishkova famous in the first place. Next time you think of us selfie takers as selfish or disordered, think twice before you speak or comment because nowadays, every celebrity is making the selfie trend our new norm now. Here is a line of selfies I made using disney's photo finish app so as to prove how fun werkin with selfies is!

XOXO, GGdoLL!

My Morning Routine

SKINNY BLACK HEADBAND

I put it on so that it prevents my hair from getting in the way of the routine and becoming a toothpaste-covered, tangled mass sticking to my face.

BARBIE TOOTHBRUSH WITH PROTECTIVE COVER

This toothbrush is ergonomically designed so that I can brush on and around my front teeth with ease. Its small size helps me reach into the inside of my mouth for a fully washed feel. The protective cover keeps this great tool fresh and clean enough for further use.

AQUAFRESH TOOTHPASTE

This product uses micro-active, foaming, whitening action which freshens my teeth and my breath.

CLEAN AND CLEAR MORNING BURST FACEWASH

After washing and rinsing my mouth of its toothpaste bath, I proceed to wash my face with this wonderful product, which feels thick when I scrub it on. It leaves my skin clear and smooth.

OLAY FRESH EFFECTS EYE AWAKENING CREAM

After my entire face-cleaning process is done, I wipe my face and whip that tube out. I roll the product under my eyes for about 30 seconds, and little by little, my eyes start to look less tired!

YARDLEY ENGLISH LAVENDER POWDER

To keep my body from feeling sticky all day, I puff a couple of teaspoons of this product on my armpits and inner thighs for smooth movement.

FLORAL SEDUCTION BODY MIST

A couple of sprays around my torso is all it takes to make my body stay fresh all day long.

PANTENE ARGAN OIL SERUM

When I do my hair, I undo last night's braid and tousle out my tresses a little. Then, I use 4 pumps worth of the serum to distribute throughout my hair, from the roots to the ends. This results in a subsequent hairstyle done with ease.
