Here's a picture of my first ever Valentine's Day look:

Wow what a comedian I was half a decade ago.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Now see, I know nothing about Valentine's Day, since I have never had a REAL valentine. Instead, I got valentines back in elementary school because some kid's mom bought a pack to give the whole class, but never the whole mushy lovey dovey extravaganza. So, I am going to talk about something I do know, makeup. Now, although I do not celebrate Valentine's Day with a significant other, I do my face to match the holiday. Here are my go-to products to use for looks.

Let us start with eyes. Now this can go anywhere from a natural flirty eye, to anything big, bold, and glittery.

1. Too Faced's Sweet Peach Palette

This palette is great if you are looking for something that isn't too complicated. It has a great range of nude colors, and a little bit of sparkle to add to your eye.

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills' Modern Renaissance

Ah, a cult favorite that has grasped the hearts of anyone that does makeup. This palette includes a lot of daring colors that really pop out when applied on the eye.

3. Urban Decay's Naked HEAT

As newer palette in the naked series, there has been a lot of commotion around this palette since it came out. It has filled with many warm toned reds, beiges, and browns that'll show off your warm heart!

4. Stila's Glitter and Glow Liquid Eyeshadow

This picture does not really show all the available shades, but it does show off how glittery these liquid shadows are. They're my absolute go to whenever I need to apply glitter! However, I suggest getting them in the smaller sizes that Sephora sells in sets of 3. While I do love these shadows, I don't necessarily wear a glitter eye everyday, so be on the lookout for these value packs.

Next stop: Lips. If anything, I am not kissing anyone this Valentine's Day, so I am free to wear any lipstick without worrying about it getting smudged.

5. Fenty Beauty's Lip Stunna

To be honest, I have never really been a fan of red lips. I just thought that it would never work on me, until I applied this. It's that iconic bold red that remains a classic look.

6. Huda Beauty's Liquid Lipstick in "FAMOUS"

I usually wear a dark red lip, and I 10/10 recommend this liquid lip. It may be matte, but to me it feels satin!

7. Bite Beauty's Amuse Bouche Lipstick in "LIQUORICE"

Another favorite dark lippie of mine that I go for whenever I do not feel like having to paint my lips for 10 minutes with a liquid lip.

8. Kat Von D's Liquid Lipstick in "LOLITA"

Yet another cult favorite on this list. Lolita has always been one of my favorites since it gives off a natural looking pink color.

And now the moment you have been waiting for, HIGHLIGHTER. Now if you are single, you are your own light of the day, so why not shine on for others. Bonus Tip: Sometimes I mix in a little bit of the Stila liquid eyeshadows to give off a little extra sparkle!

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills' Nicole Guerriero Highlighting Palette

This palette has all your highlighter needs: gold tones, pink tones, all the frickin tones! My personal favorite shade: Forever Young. Any of these colors can be mixed with each other as well and create more lovely shades.

10. Urban Decay's Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder in "AURA"

I don't really use this baked highlighter on its own. It has quite the glittery finish, and I usually apply it on top of other highlighters for that extra shine. It is a quick 2 second brush on for that extra sparkle.

At the end of the day, there is a lot of makeup you can play with to make Valentine's day looks whether you're single or taken. Here are some of mine for inspiration:

However, you can never go wrong with the classic:

Yes, that is me again. Valentine's Day 2017.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! If you have no one to love, remember to love yourself! Also, I love you!! <3

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
