Skin Is Our Protector

As we shower or bathe, we scrub, wash, lather and soak our bodies to cleanse ourselves. We use shampoos, conditioners, body washes and body scrubs to help us get clean. However, many of us forget the most important part of our bodies. The part that is exposed to smoke, pollution, car fumes, dirt, dust and many other toxins the most on a daily basis. This part of the body is the most sensitive yet protects us against many things. It is the part that can either make us or break us by showing all types of emotions like anger, frustration, happiness and relaxed. We fall in love with someone else due to this body part and it is one of the most essential parts of us.

Which part of the body could this be, you ask? The face is the most precious part of the body that we tend to be self-conscious about; whether it is that one pimple that appears when you are about to go on a date or that dark spot that you did not notice until yesterday. Any impurities that we may come across can make us feel self-conscious.

To take better care of our skin, it is vital to pay attention to it. Our skin produces new skin cells every night and therefore cleansing it on a daily basis is crucial. The same way that you would brush your teeth, you should be cleansing your face. In addition to a cleanser, you will need to use a toner and a moisturizer. A toner is used to balance the pH levels in the skin to prep it for moisturizers. A moisturizer is always needed; even if you have oily skin. Finding the moisturizer that is right for you is necessary. Having a skin care regimen is the answer to having flawless skin. Drinking water is also a big part of helping your skin be the beautiful, plumped skin that it can be.

To achieve the great skin that you want and deserve, it is sometimes best to get the opinion of a specialist. Usually in department stores, your favorite makeup counter, or some drug stores, they will have professionals that can assist you in determining what skin type you have and any impurities that you may have. Stay hydrated and stay beautiful inside and 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.

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.
