I Don’t Sleep Well When It Snows
I Don’t Sleep Well When It Snows I don’t sleep well when it snows outside, or if they’re even calling for snow. I will force my dry and tired eyeballs to stay open until I at least see the very first flake fall to the ground. It’s like I need visual confirmation that my brain can start racing away. Then, after I’ve crept into my bed, and whilst rejoicing in the beautiful quiet the snow brings to the city, I get to reflect on all the memories I’ve had with snow.

Best Gifts for Makeup Lovers You Can Buy for Them
Once someone starts getting into makeup... there's no going back. Discovering the art of contouring, cut creasing, highlighting, and all that good stuff can change someone. They start learning more and practicing until they've created the most airbrushed makeup looks ever. But aside from perfectly applying on makeup... all the colors! No one is fixated on a few colors to use on her eyelids or on his lips. There's a huge range of colors, tones, shades, and even textures to choose. From pastels to neons, glitter, and metallic, there are colors that people enjoy experimenting with and testing out for the first time—whether it's a hit or miss. Makeup is viewed as a form of art, not so much concealing one's true beauty, but rather enhancing that beauty.

My Love for My Little Girl
When I had my daughter, I never thought I would have so much love for her like this. I can't tell you how much I love my daughter. When I found out I was pregnant for the second time around, I was so excited and nervous because I already have a little boy who is a ball of energy. But when my husband and I found out that we were having a little girl, we were so happy. I always wanted a daughter ever since I was a little girl. I would dress up my dolls and rocked them to sleep. There is something about having a daughter that makes me smile and blush every day. My daughter, Isabella, can be shy, but she is a loud energetic little girl. When she gets excited, she yells and balls up her fists and shakes them. The things that she does to make me smile and laugh are priceless. When she gets older, I can see a her being a girly girl. She will be in cute little dresses and cute pink or red skirts. She will also have cute pigtails with little bows in her hair. Once she reaches that age where she needs me for things, I will be there for her when she needs me. If she wants to talk about boys, I'm always here. When the boy breaks her heart, I will be there every step of the way. Plus her father and brother, Joseph, they just might break the poor guy's neck. When she has her quinceañera, I will help her through the whole process and everything. And of course her father will, too. He will probably pay for most of the things for her quince. All she has to do give him those puppy eyes and beg her daddy for it and he will give it to her.

Dealing with Unsupportive Parents
You can tell people things a million times. You may even venture so far to explain to them your reasoning with valid evidence. But the bottom line is: people are going to think what they want to think. And furthermore, people can't stand to see something different from what they grew up with. They cannot relate to what is being done, therefore they cease to understand it. Instead of attempting to take the time to understand things, they block it out or pretend it doesn't exist. They try to persuade you to be something you're not despite your feelings, which should be the most important. It's not about what they want. It's about what YOU want. What keeps YOU going. In times like these, as dramatic as it may sound, "drastic times call for drastic measures."

What a Jerk Kid Wants to Tell Her Dad
Hey Dad. //// No, this is not one of those articles written for a late father—the usual “Things I Wish I’d Told My Dad When I Had the Chance.” My Dad is very much alive, still doing his morning swims every morning (even during winter). But I was never close to him and since my parents divorced early, he was more like a third-degree uncle and it would be weird for me to tell him anything intimate. So yea, it’s still pretty much the usual “Things I Wish I’d Told My Dad When I Had the Chance.” ////

The Phone Call I Dreaded Answering
"So, How Are You?" Oh shit, is it 1 am already? Mom usually gets home around now after visiting Bibi (my grandma) and she will probably kill me if she knew I stayed up this long but hey, this essay isn't gonna write itself! Bibi seemed better tonight, she managed to whisper out "I love you" before I left for the first time in months so that must be a good sign. Will's probably tired. You know, I said I'd take the bus home but for some reason they don't trust a teenager on the bus by herself past 10 pm! The hospital's not that far though so I'm sure he doesn't mind driving us back and forth in the cold... and the dark...
