As a huge fan of makeup, it comes with a lot of comments from other people. Don't get me wrong, I understand where a lot of it is coming from. Society teaches us certain beauty standards, which we have to live up to. If we don't, we're seen as not normal.

However, there are somethings that you just shouldn't say to people who enjoy wearing makeup.

1. "You're Wearing Too Much Makeup"

Okay? I didn't realize that we all get to decide how my face looks like. I put a full face on most days. This one is a big no-no. I don't want to hear your opinion on how much makeup I put on. It's not up to you to decide.

2. "Who Are You Trying To Impress?"

Why do I need to be trying to impress people? Why can't I just look nice because I want to look nice for me? I don't need to impress anybody but myself.

3. "You're Pretty Without Makeup Too"


I know. I'm pretty with makeup and without makeup. I just prefer to wear makeup?? I don't know what that has to do with my confidence. I'm a very confident person, and I could go a day without makeup. In fact, I do quite often, but I enjoy putting makeup on. I like how I look with makeup.

4. "That's False Advertising For Boys"


I think this one is one of the worst. I'm tired of hearing "false advertising". First of all, I am not a product, I am a human being. I'm not advertising myself to anybody. Second, I'm sorry that boys are not intelligent enough to know that I don't have naturally golden eyelids and red lips. How is that my fault they can't tell I'm wearing makeup? Also, if a guy wants to be with me, he'll have to get over the face that I wear makeup.

5. "I Like A More Natural Look"

This is the worst thing to say to someone who wears makeup. That's great that you enjoy a more natural look. However, I do not. I enjoy putting sparkles on my eyes and bright red lipstick on. You can wear a lighter, more natural makeup look. Let me enjoy what I like please and thank you.

6. "Boys Can't Wear Makeup"


Says who? Makeup is not gendered, so yes they can. I personally admire boys who are confident about wearing makeup and don't care about other's opinions.

7. "Makeup Is Meant To Enhance Your Beauty, Not Make You Look Different"

This is not necessarily true. Makeup is an art form, therefore, it is meant to be used in however the artist sees fit.

I have seen too many comments on makeup tutorials and heard too much about people who wear makeup, including myself. It's time to put an end to these phrases and questions, and instead, compliment and empower each other. The world really needs a little TLC right about now.

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.
