The "Self-Help" book trend has taken off and we are HERE for it. Self-Help can be anything from personal growth to relationships...really anything is written about being mentally healthy. While you are relaxing this spring break, pick up one of these and refresh your mind before heading back to school.

1. Girl, Wash Your Face

Rachel Hollis tags the title "Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing Lies About Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant To Be." In each chapter, she discusses a lie she has believed and her journey to get over them. Rachel tackles tough topics like "I Should Be Further Along By Now" and "I Will Never Get Past This."

Using her messy life as a test case, she teaches you how to how to live a more productive and enjoyable life.

2. The Universe Has Your Back

Gabrielle Bernstein's beautiful writing describes how to turn your "fear into faith." Her book focuses on the energy we put into the universe and how it reacts to us. Life is going to change and everything is going to happen for a reason. She has secrets to reveal and hopes to unleash your power to present to the universe.

3. You Are A Badass

"How To Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life" Sound pretty amazing, right? Jen Sincero is a successful author, life coach and motivational speaker. If you're looking for a different perspective on how to develop a more positive outlook on life, this is the book for you. She digs deep into our unconscious thoughts and beliefs and how to guide yourself into the life yourself.

4. You Are A Badass At Making Money

Jen Sincero writes a spin-off of her first novel by putting an important financial twist on it. You Are A Badass At Making Money discusses how to get out of negative relationships with money and how healthy financial mindsets lead to a more stress-free future.

5. Why Men Love B*tches

Last, but certainly not least, Sherry Argov wrote the bible of relationships for single (and taken) women. This is a woman's guide to how to hold her own in a relationship.

Very insightful with a lot of humor, the novel answers questions like, "Why do men take nice girls for granted? Why does a man respect women for standing up for herself? Why is he only interested in the beginning?"

This book not only provides analysis of a man's part in the relationship but it also talks about what it means to be a strong, independent, respectful woman in each relationship. A must read!

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.

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.
