What to Buy and What Not to Buy

How To Splurge
Buzzfeed


To splurge:

1. Undies

I mean who doesn't love a good pair of Victoria's Secret undies? Especially when they're seven for $27 and it’s a seasonal underwear sale? New 'undies' is basically setting yourself up for world domination.

2. Froyo

Honestly, it’s trendy and cute and better for you than ice cream, but it taste like ice cream. Also it can be served as a meal?

3. Mascara

No feeling in the world compares dipping a flawless clumpy-free mascara brush into black magic that makes your eyes stand out so boys fall in love with you batting your long lashes.

4. Manicures

“Any woman can wear a great outfit but it’s her nails that make the statement.” - Tammy Taylor. Enough said.

5. Jeans

That really adorable pair of jeans that you slip on and envision yourself in every top you own running through a meadow in slow motion with music playing in the background, yep... that's the pair for you. Buy them! It won’t be just yourself who thanks you later, it’ll be everyone behind you too.


6. Concert Tickets

Concerts are interactive and can be easily turned into a full day commitment. And you know what they say, "People who spend money on experiences report to be happier versus people who spend money on objects."



Not To Splurge:

1. Food

Seriously, there's food at home. Also that’s what boys are for, buying you food... duh!


2. Movie Tickets

Who wants to pay $10 to sit in a dark room for two hours and watch a movie that everyone knows will come out in a few more weeks for a dollar? Or even better, on Netflix, which means you don’t have to leave your bed!


3. Salon Hair Products

Okay, really? Ever heard of Pinterest homemade hair-masks and dry shampoo? Good, because same here.

4. That Million Dollar Bikini that you just have to have

That bikini is going to get wet anyway! And you’re young- you’ll look good in anything.


5. Lip Products

Lipstick is lipstick is lipstick is lipstick. There are so many drugstore look-a-likes to all of the expensive designer ones. Do not spend $30. *Unless it is Kylie’s Lip Kit, that stuff is holy.*

6. Sunglasses

Why drop hundreds on pricey sunglasses when we all know that you’re probably going to drop them or lose them or worse: change your mind. $20 and under sale glasses from Nordstrom Rack will soon turn into your High School sweet-heart.

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.
