10 Beauty Hacks For Getting That Summer Glow

It's time to get that summer glow!

1. Wash ya face!

Washing your face is a must! Find a gentle cleanser and wash it at least twice a day - optimal times are after waking up and before going to sleep.

2. Use baby oil or coconut oil as makeup remover.

Chances are, you're using waterproof makeup so it doesn't all melt off in the sun. If you don't wanna invest in a ton of makeup remover, a teensy bit of baby oil or coconut oil will do the trick.

3. Hydrate with infused water.

Yeah, yeah, you've heard of drinking water to keep your skin healthy and you're probably tired of this being on every list. But...it's on every list because it's important! Keep your skin hydrated if you want to look your best. Water will keep you refreshed and flush out toxins.

If you wanna jazz it up a bit, you can drink infused water. Just get filled water bottle and stick a few cucumbers, lemon slices, or other antioxidant-rich fruits/veggies in there.

4. Sunscreen.

If you're gonna be out and about, make sure to put on sunscreen. Exposure to UV can badly damage your skin. Put it on every exposed bit of skin and make sure it has a broad spectrum (SPF 30). There is a myth that those with darker skin tones don't need SPF but that is false!

5. Exfoliate.

Get rid of that dead skin! Don't do it too often, you don't wanna damage your face. But exfoliate once every week or two.

6. Body highlight.

It is a thing and it's awesome. You can buy them for cheap at drugstores or even find them at places like Sephora. And if you don't wanna invest in that, a lot of liquid highlights meant for your face can go on your body too!

7. Shave less with this recipe.

Summer sun means more skin exposure which means more shaving for those of you who shave. If you wanna cut down on that a bit, mix sugar, lemon, and water and spray it on your body. It'll slow down hair growth.

8. Removing sweat stains.

Squeeze some lemon juice on the stains before putting them in the laundry and the stain will disappear.

9. Deodorant on your face.

It sounds ridiculous, but it's truly a hack! Keep a separate deodorant for your face and it'll help your makeup stay on longer and prevent your face from sweating or getting oily.

10. Nail polish in the fridge.

Leaving out nail polish in the heat can cause bubbles to form. Putting it in the fridge will ensure that the formula stays nice and smooth.

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.

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.
