8 Reasons To Love Winter

'Tis the season to get all snug

8 Reasons To Love Winter
@paolipeaks

The temps may be frosty outside, but what better excuse for canceling plans to Netflix and chill with your S.O. inside? Here are 8 irresistible indulgences we heart about this time of year.

1. Men's Flannel

Specifically, guys wearing said flannels. There's just something so ruggedly sexy about boy (or a potential boyfriend) in a lived-in button-up that has you dreaming of him chopping wood, even if he's never picked up an ax in his life.

2. Heated Blankets

Blankets are the definition of "snug," especially when you're cozying up with someone else underneath it. Bonus points if it’s covered in luxe (faux) fur.

3. Snuggly Boots

Summer is prime season for showing off cute footwear, from wedges to super-strappy sandals. But because of that, summer is also prime season for gross blisters. That’s not the case when you’re wearing boots, since you can double up on socks, or go for a pair with a fuzzy teddy-bear-like interior, without stomping all over your style.

4. Hot Chocolate

Everyone and their mother loves a PSL. But like that song you hear on the radio every five minutes, it gets old after awhile. Hot chocolate, on the other hand, never gets old.

5. Thick Scarves

Scarves are the cold-weather equivalent of sunglasses: They disguise the signs of a hangover and help you hide from your ex. That’s not even counting how warm and cozy they keep you.

6. Dark Lipstick

Nothing will make you feel like a #NastyWoman quite like deep, dark lipstick. Whether rich merlot is as crazy as you’ll ever get or you’re down for edgier colors like navy or violet, one swipe will bring out your naughtiest side.

7. Mountains Filled With Snow

Skiing, snowboarding, and snow! Seriously what could be more fun? You get to utilize 3 and 5 while on the snowy mountain.

8. Outdoorsy Candles

Candles aren’t exclusive to winter weather. But nothing beats the glow of a lit wick (or eight) on a cold, dark night, which only gets better as it scents your pad with a fragrance that fits the season.

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.
