I don't think makeup is really necessary.

7 Reasons I Choose Not To Wear Makeup Every Day
Michelle Hamilton

Putting makeup on is rather time-consuming and sometimes frustrating. It's nice to look nice every once in a while, but is makeup really necessary? Looking good shouldn't always involve makeup, because putting it on and leaving it on for hours is a struggle. I think makeup is a waste of time most of the time and there are so many reasons I don't want to waste my time applying it.

1. You can sleep in longer.

A lot of girls are willing to set their alarms earlier in order to apply a full face of makeup every day. I'd much rather spend that time sleeping than putting on makeup.

2. You can rub your eyes as much as you want.

When you have makeup on, you can't just rub your eyes. You have to be careful not to ruin your makeup, if your eye is itchy or if you just like to rub your eyes. Not wearing makeup and being able to really rub your eyes is so satisfying.

3. You're not uncomfortable all day.

I don't know about every other girl but if I have makeup on, I'm just not comfortable. I feel like my skin can't breathe, and I'm constantly worrying about my mascara getting under my eyes. It just feels so much better to let my skin breathe and not have to worry about my makeup getting messed up.

4. Your face breaks out.

Whenever I wear makeup, my face seems to break out the next day. I know this isn't true for all people, but it does show that its probably not good for our skin to be covered with goopy makeup all the time.

5. It takes a long time to do.

Girls can spend hours trying to perfect their makeup, but is it really worth it? It takes forever and at the end of the day, you just take it off anyways.

6. Makeup is expensive.

By not wearing makeup, you wouldn't have to replace your makeup as often, saving you a ton of money, because we all know that it can be extremely expensive.

7. I don't see the need for it

No girl needs makeup, whether they think they do or not. Every girl looks pretty naturally.

Whether you wear makeup every day or not, the important thing is to feel confident and happy in your own skin. So don't be afraid to ditch the mascara and rock the natural look.

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.

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.
