I love my boyfriend!!!!1
Hey guys, I know this tag has been around for some time nowwwwww, but I only recently got time to actually do it! AND I SWEAR IT. WAS. SO. MUCH. FUN. It's so funny to see how your boyfriend/girlfriend 'thinks' how well they know you x :')
follow me on instagram/youtube/THIS BLOG if you would like to see Mike more often! <3
The questions:
1. Who is my favourite movie star?
2. If you could be a type of food, what would you be?
3. Which side of the potato chip is saltier?
4. If you are to get a pet, what would it be?
5. Who is my BFF? (bestie!!!!!)
and most importantly...
6. Who said 'I love you' first?

Remix or not to remix? That is the question
When is exploiting your love one for sponsors/ fame ever right? I don't think i've heard of that approved law before. And if you scroll through your favourite "fashion-beauty" blogger are they doing anything different for their vlogs on this "Do my Boyfriend/brother makeup" tag? No. Its the same consistent giggling, (boyfriend) unwillingness , hand-behind-the-make-up-product-so-the-camera-can-focus-and raving about a certain product drivel.
Whatever happened to creativity, or in today's context, Remixing? Typical remix combines content within the same media or content from different media. For instance, a music remix may combine
music elements from any number of artists; just like your clubbing tunes, be it by deadmaus, armin or avicii. The Internet greatly increases the ease of locating and reusing material from other periods, artists, designers, and so on. In particular, since every company and freelance professionals in all cultural fields, publish documentation of their projects online, everybody can be updated with what the other is doing. Therefore, the speed with which an interesting blog entry gets referenced in other blogs is within a second. But the difference is quantitative than qualitative. (Manovich, 2007)
Quantitative vs Qualitative:
In quantitative work we classify features, count them, and even construct more complex statistical models in an attempt to explain what is observed. Findings can be generalised to a larger population, and direct comparisons can be made between two corpora, so long as valid sampling and significance techniques have been used. (Regents, 1999)
The aim of qualitative work is a complete, detailed description. No attempt is made to assign frequencies to the linguistic features which are identified in the data. (Regents, 1999)
What your bloggers are doing is quantitative work where they count the numbers of readers per entry and try to entice readers by loads of "eyecandy" photos that are overexposed and saturated, and talk about their day or what they bought, generic things, they care about the figure because more readers/more views = more money. Qualitative work would be blogging about relevant things like, food recipes, fashion trends instead of #ootd and music reviews not, your clubbing photos or hey if you wish, club reviews?

Advertorial: Hair Products
This product is pure magic. ^_^
This little bottle promises to perform wonders on your hair and you will be left with the smoothest and most luscious hair you can ever think of. It smells amazing too and comes in 3 different scents. I don't personally have a favourite because I have only tried this one but I am pretty sure that the rest are just as good.
I also love the packaging of the product. It comes in such a nice, clean and transparent bottle that allows you to see how much product you have left. Don't you just hate it whenever you can't tell and then you find out that you're out of the product when you need it most?
Yay for packaging.
As you can see, I still have half a bottle left.
And this is what my hair looks like after using this product. After using it for quite some time now, I really do feel that it works wonders and I recommend it to everyone who needs to fix their hair. This product is available at www.omghairproducts.com and there's a sale going on so it's cheaper than usual. Also, you can quote PLZDONTKILLMYVIBEZ to get an extra 20% off!
So sooooooft.
Don't forget to try out the product. :D
