Dry Weather, Dry Skin

It's a cold winter day and you take a step outside. As you're looking around you see dry grass, the streets are covered in a white ash and the wind is howling...

Winter is a season that many people enjoy. Whether it's snowball fights, sledding, ice skating or even taking a stroll around the park; people always seem to enjoy themselves during the most wonderful time of the year. One cold winter morning you wake up and go to your bathroom mirror and notice that your skin is dry.

The winter weather can take a toll on our skin. Cold howling wind can damage skin by drying it out. Dry skin can easily tear or feel tight. As you guessed, it isn't healthy for the skin. Keeping your skin moisturized is a HUGE must when winter rolls around. Below I will leave a couple tips on how to keep your skin moisturized during this cold season.

Tip#1

Vaseline

Put Vaseline on your face before going out inside. Vaseline protects the skin from harsh winds and keeps your face warm while you walk in the cold weather.

Tip#2

Moisturize After Showers

People tend to like hot showers, especially during winter. As the hot water hits our skin; it is also stripping us of our natural oils. Using raw shea butter or any other natural ingredient is always what's best on your skin. From experience, I would try avoiding less moisturizing products such as Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret and Jergens; these brands use alcohol in their products which is not really helping our skin during these days of need.

Tip #3

Dress Appropriately

Wrapping your face with a scarf, and wearing both a coat and gloves will keep your skin safe from the harsh conditions of winter. Protecting your skin before the wind gets to it is a very smart move to avoid dry skin.

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.
