dear s,

today was awesome.

<: as some of you may know, my birthday was this past friday, and since i was away, s and i celebrated my birthday today. we had a lovely, aesthetical picnic on my back deck (b/c it's bear season and we didn't want to attract any unwanted visitors through eating in the woods). : >

i'm so glad we got to hang out today, and re-sync. even though i see you every day in school, it was nice to be able to just completely relax, drink coffee, take aesthetical pictures for ig/our album (refer to the picture above...THAT'S US) and voice our opinions on everything that was happening/had happened. 

these are the times that i love most. it's just so simple and easy; i can always be myself so completely without thinking about being judged -- it helps that we're on the same wavelength, since most of our opinions and thoughts sync anyway. 

simply put, it was just really nice. 

(fairly certain i am a little burned, as my cheeks are pinkish...how did you fare, my fair-skinned friend? ;)

//: on another note ://

i was in the city over the weekend and since i am a total nube at makeup i decided to get some friendly advice from the people at sephora. i finally found someone (after desperately searching for someone who did have excessive makeup on) and they helped me match a foundation for my skin...(bare minerals $$$$$)...cool...not that i will wear it other then prom....

anywho, i then went to another mall the next day and had another lady do my eye makeup and omg...i told her "simple, dewy and nothing over powering" since i don't wear makeup, and my dress is a midnight blue for prom so i really don't want anything crazy. 

well...let me tell you, it was definitely not any of the above. 

i swear i looked like an oompa loompa (you saw the picture). it was horrifying and the whole time she was applying i was thinking, this is why i don't wear makeup. once i finally opened my eyes it was really a defining moment for me. other people look nice, even prettier with makeup, whereas i, with the particular look she gave me, look absolutely horrid. 

the beneficial part of that experience is that i learned something; i am most definitely a wilderness child. natural, simple, understated. and that's how i like it. 

.....

anywho

thank you s for making today so lovely, and the transition into 18 one to remember (first thing you said to me when i came to pick you up... "WOW you even LOOK 18 NOW". 

much love,
