I know it can be tempting to buy the chic pair of stilettos that you have been eyeing for a while or splurge on that coveted designer handbag, but are these items really necessary during this time of isolation?

You need to think about when you might actually use the potential purchase, because if it is not a time in the foreseeable future, it is most likely not vital. Below is a list of 7 things that are worth your money to invest in during this quarantine, as they can be put to use right away and will be the most effective while you're stuck at home.

An adorable tracksuit from your favorite store

I know, I know. Tracksuits? What is this, the 2000s? But the truth is, matching tracksuits are coming back into style, so why not embrace it now and look cute while you romp around your house. Bonus: they're super comfortable.

High-quality skincare products

I don't know about you, but I haven't put an ounce of makeup on my face since I've been in quarantine. If you're like me, the money that you are no longer spending on replacing your makeup can now be used towards buying those all natural, higher-quality products that you might have skimped out on before.

Taking good care of your skin is extremely important, and it's never too late to start doing so.

An inspiring cookbook

Now is as good of a time as any to finally learn how to cook more than a cup o'noodles. Surfing the web for recipes can be overwhelming and tiresome, so having a cookbook on hand will make it easier to find something to make more efficiently.

A couple of good books

I realize no one likes being told to "read more". But, don't underestimate the power of a good book: there's nothing better than passing the time with a gripping thriller or poetic love story.

Cute room decor

If you're going to be spending all your time in your bedroom, it might as well look cute, right? Use this time to redecorate or spruce up your room, and make it how you truly want it.

A good pair of sneakers

It's important to take care of your health by exercising regularly during this quarantine. To do so successfully, I would recommend investing in a pair of well-made sneakers that will support you in all of your athletic endeavors. Also, who ever said sneakers can't be cute?

Lots and lots of candles

It might seem like an obvious purchase, but a fragrant, flickering candle can completely change your mood. Warning: it's easy to burn through them quickly, so make sure you have plenty on hand to restock!

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.

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.
