The Josephine Files - #6

Josie stopped over the other day after church to say hello. Our conversation went something like this:


"Krystin, our birthday's are coming up this week!" She said.
"I know - are you excited for yours?" I asked
"I'm just lucky I made it another year, I guess Heaven doesn't want me yet..."
(there's that optimism I love)
"Oh stop it" I told her
"Hey, I have your birthday present at my house. Come by and get it when you're free. I hope you like it. Your mother helped me pick it out, so if you don't, just blame her."
"Alright, thanks. You didn't have to get me anything!"
"No, no ... of course I did ..." and she paused for about a minute. I waited.
...Okay fine, I'll tell you. I got you a nice candle because your mother said you loved candles".
(rolls her eyes)

I was confused. I didn't force this information out of her whatsoever. The element of surprise is lacking in our family.
I haven't picked up the candle gift yet, but I'm sure it smells lovely.

Polka Dot & Pink

Each day I usually have the same morning routine, including my makeup. Some days I might have extra time (this is rare) and get fancy with a smokey eye, but for the office it can get a little tricky as to what's keeping it professional versus looking like I'm ready to ditch this place and go drinking.
Even when that's really what I feel like doing. Usually.
I have always kept it pretty simple when it came to my lips. Some concealer, a pale pink gloss and I was out the door.
Lately - when making these unnecessary Target and Sephora trips - I've found myself drawn to the lipsticks. Last night I picked up this beaut by Maybelline. The Color Whisper line of lipsticks was just what I was looking for; not too dramatic, great colors and seemingly weightless. I grabbed 'faint for fushcia' and found that it paired perfectly with a white and black polka dot blouse.
