Redoing parts of your makeup to get it just right.

Yes, it absolutely does take me three tries to get the perfect winged eyeliner. So worth it when it's all done.


You're subscribed to or following beauty accounts.

Michelle Phan, Nikki Tutorials, and Jeffree Star are all names you have come to know and love. If it weren't for them and other beauty gurus you would not be capable of attaining the level of makeup awesomeness that you have somewhat achieved.

Accounting for the time it takes you to fix your mistakes when deciding what time to start doing your makeup.

Well, it'll take me a while to get my lashes and lipstick up to standard. I also mess up on my brows at least twice. That'll add about half an hour.

Saving money strictly for a new palette.

This paycheck goes towards my Kylie Jenner Royal Peach palette and this next one goes towards the Naked Basics palette. It's not a problem, I can stop whenever I want!

Taking way too much makeup with you for travel.

Even if it's only a weekend trip, you have to bring every single palette you own. You know... for choices.

When you have achieved the perfect look and absolutely dread taking it off at night.

That dreadful time when the makeup wipes have to come out and the makeup to come off. Say goodbye to all of the fleekiness. Tragic.

Getting too excited when you buy something new.

It doesn't matter what you have going on tonight, you have to put on that new highlight you just purchased.

Your email is 80% beauty retailers.

Important business emails? You mean the fact that I get a free lipgloss with my Sephora purchase of $50 or more? Yup. Very business. Very important. *furiously begins online shopping*

Always experimenting with colors.

Trying to replicate the fierce looks of the Instagram community and sometimes going a little too far. Maybe the blue lipstick wasn't the best idea for a meeting with my professor...

Finding excuses to do a full face of makeup.

The grocery store? Okay, just give me like two and a half hours to get ready.

You're trying something new every time you do your makeup.

New contour technique, cut crease for the first time. That's the beauty of makeup: always experimenting and figuring out what makes you feel like you. Now, go out there and try to make all of the beauty gurus proud!!

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
