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.

�� WHAT'S YOUR NIGHTTIME ROUTINE LIKE? ��

-XO, GGdoLL! ��

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.
