How to 'Glow Up' in a Day

"Eat good, look good, feel good." -Unknown. Looking good is all about how good you feel. In order to feel and look my best, I allow each of these 8 things to guide me.

1. Eat a Nutritious Breakfast

"Breakfast is the most important meal of day!" ... I'm sure you've heard this one before, but it is true. Eat something that is both delicious and nutritious. This could be oatmeal and your favorite fruit! You need to also drink plenty of water. Not only will this deliver oxygen throughout your body, but it will also boost your skin health. It is important to drink water all throughout the day.

2. Work Out

Complete a workout that is best for your mind and body. For some this could be a long walk and for others it could be a spin class. As you exercise, endorphins are released. These endorphins trigger a positive feeling in your body, which leave you feeling way better than you did before your work out.

3. Take Your Time in the Shower

Don't rush yourself. Give yourself time to relax and clear your mind. If shaving is something you do, then shave! Nothing makes me feel more confident than soft, silky legs.

4. Get a Haircut

Haircuts are the perfect time for change (be adventurous). Wether you just want a blow out or a whole new style, walk out of the salon feeling bold and sassy. Plus, it is always fun to just be pampered.

5. Do a Face Mask

This does not mean you have to go out and spend $60 on a facial. At target there are many different face masks for just a couple of bucks. Select what kind of treatment you want, put it on, and allow it to leave you glowing and smiling.

6. Whiten Your Teeth

This step definitely is not as important, but it is great way for me personally to get myself feeling the best. You can buy whitening strips at any drug store or make a paste at home using baking soda. For some of you, this step could be a pore strip or painting your nails. Do whatever makes you feel beautiful!

7. Listen to Your Favorite Music 

Music is proven to increase happiness AND you can listen to it while you are doing each of these things. For me, music is a must have while working out and getting ready. Turn on that LIZZO and get to dancing.

8. Dress Up and Go Out

Give yourself time to get ready. Put on an outfit that makes you feel confident, express yourself through your makeup (glitter is always an option), and be unapologetically you. Go out and doing something fun wether you're riding solo, with a date, or simply with your best friends!

Feeling confident on the outside is all about how you feel on the inside. Self care is important for being your best self. Don't feel selfish for spending extra time and care solely on you.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
