It is the little things in life that mean the most to us. We pour our hearts into the little details of our lives, and in these moments our love shines brightest. Those small, everyday moments are the ones that put the biggest smiles on our faces.

Amanda Oleander is an artist based in Los Angeles, and she knows love better than anyone. She has created a series of illustrations showing what love looks like when no one is watching. She has drawn her inspiration from her own relationship as well as from the experiences of loved ones. Her comics show love’s true face, glowing in each little moment we spend with our loved ones.

When it comes to cuddling, men definitely have it worse. They have to put up with our long hair in their faces all night long. They must really love us to put up with that.

2) No Shave November

It is such a hassle to shave your legs EVERY DAY, plus it dries out your skin. So a woman goes a few days without shaving. Well, it looks a lot different from a man’s point of view.

3) Cuddling While Cooking

Do you ever want to snuggle with your boo, but you need to cook too? The struggle is real. Cuddling while cooking is nowhere near efficient, but it is adorable.

4) Personal Favors

Being in a relationship means being close to someone. Like, closer than you’ve ever been. So close that you’re willing to do gross stuff for each other.

5) Busy Bees

Young couples in love really have to be good at multitasking. There is so much to take care of nowadays, and everything is so expensive. Somehow they manage to keep it all under control.

6) Melting In Bed

How are boys so warm at night?! I just don’t understand it. It sure is nice in the winter, though.

If you’re in love with a gamer, it can be hard to get the attention you deserve. Some people have to go to extreme lengths to get their way. It’s pretty funny when you think about it.

8) Gentle Touch

Women are so good at massages, especially when they are in tune with their own bodies. Nothing is better than coming home after a long day and getting a relaxing massage.

9) Pedicure Time

Pretty much all women love to have their nails done. Men who will do this for them are just the best. Set your macho behavior aside for a few minutes and get in touch with your softer side.

It can be so creepy to do the dirty deed in front of your dog. Do they understand what’s going on? They don’t seem to care. Stay off the bed!

What men never understand is that the woman is scooting closer to the man. If the man keeps moving toward the edge, so will she. There is no escaping our cuddles!
