There's no feeling like it. Walking through a cloud of glitter, surrounded by an aura of aromatherapy, you're in. You're in Lush. Nothing else in this world matters, because all of the remedies for all of your troubles are right here.

Going through a breakup? There's a bath bomb for that. Under so much stress your losing hair? There's a conditioner for that. Freaking out about what you're going to do after graduation? Me too. Allow one of the associates to show you this mask that's going to change your complexion and thus have you forgetting about it all.

I really feel like all of the fairy tale creatures we read about when we were younger took a bunch of Molly and conjured up this store. I mean really, it's as magical as it gets.

Though Lush appeared that it could not get any more divine, it came up with zero-waste shampoo. Yup, a shampoo that's both nourishing for the earth and your hair.

Trademarked for its vegan products which fight against animal testing, Lush is now taking one step further by using a zero-waste approach.

Their most popular take on the zero-waste movement is their shampoo bar. What appears to be a very fragrant macaron is actually a bar of shampoo that you run through your hair as you do a bar of soap to your skin.

It activates just as shampoo does to your hair leaving it nourished and clean. Of course, its ingredients include are all natural, I mean its Lush we're talking about. However, the bar wears down over the course of about 25 uses, and then it is gone. No trash, no waste, and no BS.

I have been critical towards the zero-waste movement in the past — while I believe it to be an exemplary way to live, it's also vastly implausible for a majority of people. However, taking approaches each and every day to cut down your waste is important no matter who you are.

We have all of the simple bases covered: use a reusable (preferably BPA free) water bottle, use reusable bags, try and buy bulk yadda yadda, this one is something that is so incredibly effortless. At about 12 dollars for a bar (again about 25 uses) you get effortless hair cleanings and do not have the hassle of finding a place for your oversized, clunky shampoo bottle.

More high-end shampoos which, by the way, are most likely filled with sulfates and unnatural ingredients that will end up doing more damage to your hair, in the long run, go for about, what, $65 a bottle? For like 40 uses perhaps? If we do the math correctly, that's 24 dollars for 50 uses.

While you may not be the kombucha drinking, hike for fun, brush your teeth with baking soda kind of person, we can all get along with cutting our waste down as much as we can. Especially if it involves less hassle than our wasteful lives.

I'm done explaining, there's no reason you shouldn't at least try one of these little guys out.

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.

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.
