Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick in Underaged Red aka memorial day weekend.

<---i havent titled a kat von d lipstick in...three? two and a half? years. i like her makeup though. the packaging is pretty and on an unrelated note, shes a quite good artist. this is allegedly an orange-based red, but it wears sort of blue on me and i like that it's a bit more slick than other matte reds. i actually purchased this with a sephora gift card when i traded in my citicard points for cash instead of airplane miles(which i honestly didn't care about).
so i absolutely loved washington DC. the colonial style homes are beautiful and i'd honestly move there in a minute if i could. my sweetheart and i ironically found a shake shack steps away from out hotel and we went back...3 times. the food was that good. we were shocked to find one so close after eating there for the first time in queens at our mets game two weeks ago. sidebar: citifield is gorgeous and i love it. its no Shea, but its still beautiful. my cousin's wedding was meaningful and lovely, and i liked introducing my love to my family(other than my crazy parents and sister, of course). also we made friends outside of the immediate area: im kind of a crazy fool, so i cant remember if this is the female panda, Mei Xiang, or the male, Tian Tian. I'm 70% that it's the female. either way--they were both beautiful and the first pandas i'd seen in person in my life.
school ended somewhere in there, too. I got all A's and B's, and i was kind of shocked that my only B was in a drawing class...it was a hard class and i know i did my best, and a B isn't a bad grade at all, but i was still a bit depressed at first. i know i'm a talented artist regardless, though, so i'm over it by now.
its memorial day weekend, woo hoo! too bad it's been really chilly and rainy for the past few days. i was scared it'd snow outside(seriously, i was mildly concerned), but luckily it hasn't. instead the cicadas have arrived and yes, they look like huge, red-eyed bees and i *HATE* them. so gross!
more soon. i got a raise at work last week and now i'm waiting to hear if i got a summer promotion, as well. fingers crossed!
