The cheap stuff is always classy. Me and my best friend, Red Solo Cup on the Fourth of July.
Moving to a new city doesn’t mean each day has to be some crazy day where you run yourself ragged. There are those lazy summer days that you spend with people who make your day. Those times when you sit around, drinks in hand and play board games. Or stand around the kitchen island. Or eat charred burger nuggets because your friend didn’t man the grill. My Fourth of July was one of those days spent with great people, silly conversations and plenty of good energy.
Friday was one of those days. Nothing crazy, but definitely something fun and something special. Hope your day was spent playing dominoes, drinking Budweiser (in the ‘Merica themed can or metal bottle), play fighting with your cousins and persuading your Drunk Uncle to employ his cigarette–you know the one that clings to his lower lip like it’s held on by a supernatural magnetic force while he eats, drinks and does a jig to James Brown–to light your Black Cat firecrackers.
Those are the times you remember, man.
Matte lipstick is the way to go when you know you’ll be talking a lot of smack It goes on and stays put. I’m wearing Diva by MAC.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a Krishia post without some sort of shout out to the makeup that was my Best Supporting Actress. I’m a touch oily in the photo, but trust, Mama had her ‘No-Makup’ makeup face on this Fourth of July holiday. (As in, I don’t have on anything but a little lipstick and mascara, when in reality, I knew good and well there was a full face underneath those batting lashes.) Okay, so my face isn’t perfect, I see my brows got a little discheveled, but I was super impressed at how Revlon ColorStay held up to the humidity.
Cheers to you, ‘Merica!
P.S.: Oh, and before I forget to mention, don’t hold a Roman candle. I never knew that until about five years ago. What? I’m country. My loved ones didn’t know they were putting me at risk!
