Smiles

 Entry #6 Smiles When it comes to smiles, all are beautiful in their own unique way. Whether they have dimples, braces, gummy smiles, toothy smiles, gap teeth, or even missing ones, they are all beautiful as a sign of happiness. I am often delighted to see smiles no matter how they look because smiles usually mean happiness. Being happy and showing a smile, whether closed or a happy toothy grin, makes me so happy. How do smiles make you feel? Image source On my bad days, when someone smiles at me or compliments me with a smile, I end up smiling and happy right after. I've had many cases where I have had a terrible or lousy day, and a smile can go a long way for me. I have always thought everyone deserves to see a smile and smile from a young age because it is so special. A smile can make grumpy or seemingly unapproachable people much less scary, giving more room for people to become friends. Most of the time, all people need is kindness and sincerity. Smiles that you can tell are s...

Commercial Mayhem

  Entry #5 Allstate Beauty Blogger: Allstate Mayhem This advertisement was made to make people want to get Allstate insurance. But let's go deeper than just getting new or different insurance. This ad wants the audience to understand that our lives are unpredictable and that if something happens to one of our possessions, it can be a headache. This ad wants you to feel like you are not alone in whatever accident may have occurred and that Allstate is there to help. We all experience little or big mishaps that someone or ourselves may have accidentally caused, and the damage can be significant; that is what the ad is trying to make us understand.  Image source Another thing is the kind of viewer (us) may be watching. This ad shows mayhem pretending to be a beauty blogger, shows a hair tutorial for likes, and then sets the straightener on a towel, which eventually causes a fire. What they are trying to show is that our brains may not thoroughly think things through or are not pa...

Creating Calm

Image
Entry #4 Calm Most people can never find time to wind down and relax. Too much going on in their lives stresses them out, and they can never find a sense of calm. We should all make space for calm in our lives and not focus on all the stressful things around us. Everyone needs calm every day, and some do not know how to achieve that. I will admit that I did not until I learned what it meant to find quiet and relaxation daily. I will now share with you some things I do to achieve this calm everyone knowingly or unknowingly seeks. Image source One of the first things I did was silence all of the notifications from my phone or other devices that I often use that were not beneficial to me, such as mobile game notifications, social media notifications, and anything else that was not precisely necessary. You may be thinking now, "Okay? Now, what if those are absolute necessities in my life?" Are they really? Do you really need all of the notifications you get throughout the day? Ar...

Taste of Holiday Freshness

  Entry #3 Holiday freshness The holidays are full of different treats and sweets, but one stands out. What is it? You may already have an idea, but do you really know? I will provide significant details about this holiday treat; you can guess it at the end!  Looking at this treat, I immediately see it is more extensive and may even be more prominent than my hand. I grab it, and it feels strong yet delicate. It's almost as if it could break at the slightest drop or if it's even bent wrong. It is long, has a thin curve at the tip, and many stripes. This treat can go nicely on a Christmas tree. The packaging is transparent to show the festive red and white colors. The wrapping doesn't make much noise, but it's hard to get off. Image source When I put the opposite end of the curve in my mouth, I am met with a burst of flavor! The sweetness envelops my mouth. I bite down, and a piece sits in my mouth for a good minute before it finally dissolves into nothing. I suck on the ...
