Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you're probably heard of self-care.

If you don't know, it's all about treating yo' self and showing your soul and your body some well-deserved love.

Sometimes life gets hectic and we forget to keep ourselves in check. Even something as little as taking a bubble bath or doing a face mask counts as self-care. There are no rules to self-care, only that if something works for you, then keep doing it.

It's so nice to indulge every now and then, but why do we have to wait for a stressful situation to destress and relax? Why not make it a part of our weekly routine?

It's time to start #SelfCareSunday.

#SelfCareSunday is a movement to do just that, make self-care a part of our normal routine! Devote the entire day to pamper yourself, or just do something for an hour. Work out. Do your nails. Take a shower. Take a break from social media. Eat a cheat meal. Turn off your phone. The options are limitless.

Friendly reminder: Self-care is NOT selfish. With our lives becoming more hectic and interconnected than ever before, now is the time to slow down, unplug and detox from life. We as individuals HAVE to take this time to celebrate ourselves for all of the hard work we do so that we can continue to be inspiring, creative and hardworking.

Throughout history, it's always been about "work hard now and enjoy it later." I don't know about you, but I don't want to wake up at 80 and realize that I've had no fun and fulfillment in my life. I want to be able to enjoy what I can do while I'm still able to do it.

The key here is to do what makes YOU happy. This day is about YOU. It's time that we stand up and treat ourselves with the love and respect that we deserve.

So join me this Sunday and every Sunday after, to participate in #SelfCareSunday!

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.
