i met up with the lovely stephanie for dinner last night
and we ate
and talked about our lives
and exchanged christmas gifts
and talked about our futures
and other exciting things
and here's the thing about stephanie
i absolutely love her
she has become one of my good friends really fast
and she is one of the most encouraging, honest people i know
AND she looks amazing in red lipstick
(see photo below)

so i went out and bought some tonight...

i wasn't so sure about it at first
but i think it's growing on me...
