Last month I shared some of my not so guilty pleasures. Well…here’s round two!
It’s no surprise that I take more self-photos than the next blogger. The truth is that I personally love seeing the faces behind my favorite blogs, so I assume that my readers feel the same (I know at least one blogger who agrees!).
In this case, though, I just really wanted to show off my new sweater 
Next, I seem to have formed a habit of being unable to take a 35-minute train ride without having some sort of snack. And when I say “some sort,” I actually mean an ginormous oatmeal cookie.
Falling under the same category would be this heart-shaped (aka probably week-old) doughnut. If that grosses you out, then you’re probably even more disturbed that I placed it on a subway seat shortly before consuming.
I have no shame.
(But…I totally crossed the line there, didn’t I? Okay, I guess I plead guilty on that one then.)
Considering that, you might find it odd that another not-so guilty pleasure of mine is disinfecting my phone every single time I come home.
The laptop and bottom of my purse get a wipe-down too. Maybe that’d be considered more of a quirk than a not-so-guilty pleasure…? Whatev.
Last minute addition to the list: abbreviations such as “whatev.”
- What are your thoughts on blogger self-photos?
- Do you ever disinfect your cell phone?
I'm the girl, Gracie Gordon. Here at GML you can follow my journey of dreaming, working, eating, loving, and blogging my way through life in NYC.
ahahahhaha im hoping the napkin was under the donut before being placed on the seat? oh well.. i wouldn’t throw a donut away for that reason either!
selfies- LOVE EM.. i actually think it makes it okay being put on blogs because ya know.. ppl wna see your outift…. as opposed to just taking them of yourself for no reason, cuz thats just WEIRD. right.. i mean who does that……….?!
I love blogger self-photos! I like to see the faces of the people I “follow” every day - and I think most people feel the same way. If people are reading your words, they probably want to see your face, too! And yes, I disinfect the bottom of my purse constantly
I was drooling over that doughnut until you mentioned the Subway seat. You lost me there. I might still pretend you didn’t do that and go back to wishing I had one right now.
I find it so hilarious you put the donut down on the seat yet have to disinfect your phone. I have quirks like that too. I’m a germaphobe about some things and in other ways not even phased.
I totally wipe down my phone and keyboard everday. Never thought of doing the bottom of my purse, but I will from now on! Thanks!
haha I love the self photos. My blog is still in the getting started stages so I need to get some pictures on, and I will definitely be taking some ‘selfies’ for it
I try to remember to disinfect but I really don’t do it as often as I probably should. Work has these things for our keyboards and I use them on my cellphone sometimes when I remember.
I need to wipe down my phone and computer and such more often… get rid of all the staph and all that fun stuff.
At least the doughnut was on a napkin! And as long as there’s no mold… eat the doughnut!
Love blogger photos.
P.S. I want to raid your closet. I love your style!
Girl you know I love me some Photobooth and have no shame in self portraits all day. Also, I clean my phone a lot. The phones at work, too. So many germs! To think about them touching my face - ugh, I shudder.
That cookie looks amazing. I’ll take one, porfa.
Also, I just realized I did a Spanish version of the abbreviation so common to white American girls. Porfa = Por favor. Oh my!
I actually knew what you meant by porfa before reading the second paragraph, and I think I may have to start using it! love it
p.s. my best friend spent 2 semesters in Spain…I’ll have to give her the link to your blog!
I love that shirt! Its so cute! And, I wipe my phone down every day and my laptop! Completely NORMAL. Thats smart to wipe your purse down, I never thought of that!
Yeah, I mean think of how many surfaces your purse goes on! Like public bathrooms and the subway…YUCK!
I really need to start disinfecting my cell phone — Love to know that it’s as easy as using a clorox wipe!
I take self photos — usually after running or something
I appreciate seeing pics of the bloggers. It helps me to relate better!
I love seeing photos of bloggers, but I must admit, I don’t take any, because I think food is much more photogenic!
Also, I should start disinfecting my phone. >.< A good habit to start!
I take my outfit pictures. And I feel kinda conceited..but people LIKE seeing you on the blog!
And I don’t disinfect but now I think I should. I have some wipes with me at work…start now!
I also love seeing the face behind the blog, that is why I post so many pics of myself… you would tell me if it were overkill, right?
Hahaha I love your train snack ritual. I feel like I need to come to LI to see you just so I can take the ride and pack a cookie for myself
I love seeing pics of bloggers! And it never bothers me when other people post them, but I always feel like a weirdo taking them of myself. I need a husband who will humor my photo obsession so I can stop feeling ridiculous in front of the mirror…
I love seeing bloggers’ self-photos. And yours in particular, because you always wear such cute boots, which are my addiction. I have even tried to imitate the self-photo thing with surprising lack of success. I guess it needs practice?
hehe, glad I get to feed your boot addiction
And yes, self photos do take practice! (that sounds so dumb, but it’s true!)
I love seeing blogger’s photos, and have been meaning to take more myself! Cute sweater, btw!
I love seeing pictures of bloggers. I try to do a few occasionally, but I have super bad lighting in my room where the mirror is!
I don’t often have people to take pictures of me so I take them myself. Besides it’s fun to see other bloggers in their day to day fun and loving it.
I disinfect my phone when I think to, like now, and I take self pics because sometimes other people don’t feel like doing it for me. And, it’s less awkward for some reason if I do it myself.
I like blogger self-portraits! Mine are usually pretty awkward though… I blame bad lighting
Disinfecting the phone is a good idea. I NEVER do that. I am a little OCD about washing my hands and not touching bathroom door handles though. Always have to use a paper towel to do it.
I agree, I like to see bloggers photos, the more the better! I wish I remembered to take more pics of myself!!
I do love to see bloggers, I’m just miserably unskilled at taking self photos. It’s sad.
I disinfect my phone at the gym with the wipe I used to wipe down my workout machines.
Disinfecting your phone is such a good idea!! As are large oatmeal cookies!!
i share a desk with my co worker and we swap places when I come in…wwhenever she leaves I swipe down the entire desk, keyboard, phone everything in sight with a disinfecting wipe!
I dont think thats wierd at all that you do that in fact I may start as well…
I love self-photos! I too want to see the faces behind the words of my favorite blogs! So keep ‘em coming;)
I never disinfected my phone….like, ever! Is that bad???;)
Hey who else would take the self-photos? Someone has too, haha!
I’ve seriously thought about disinfecting my phone, but have never got around to it…I feel like it would be a good idea. I just got around to cleaning my apartment, though. One step at a time, one step at a time.
Some people say that blogger self-photos are vain, but I can’t disagree more! Blogger photos help make the blog more personal and you learn a lot about the blogger. What clothes they wear, what color hair/eyes they have, and what makeup they wear, to name a few…
Lovin’ the outfit today Gracie!
I just disinfected my phone last week after being sick! I used it so much to entertain me while I layed in bed so I figured it was overdue for a major lysol!
I like seeing blogger self photos too! It makes it seem so much more personal.
Also I LOVE that sweater! I’m obsessed with slouchy clothes.
i wipe down my phone/ipod/computer ALL the time!! youre not alone, ha!
I could use a ginormous oatmeal cookie. Yum!
I love when bloggers take selfies! They usually are really funny or really cute, and it lets their personality shine.
I’m slightly obsessed with hand sanitizer, not healthy. Giving things a wipe down it a great idea, I should do it more often!
I need to disinfect my phone and laptop more. Thanks for the reminder!
I thought i took the most self-portraits, glad im not the only one!
I love self-photos. I add in quite a few and make a lot of silly faces. I hope my readers appreciate my weirdness!!
What took me so long to find your blog?? LOll, I’m also obsessed with disinfecting my phone/ipod/etc…. Heck, I sometimes wipe down my calculator!
Can’t wait to read more from you!
