autumn leaf

My friend and talented hairstylist Oliver cut my hair while I was in London this week. I've been contemplating a pixie for so long but never felt confident enough to do it. Now that I have though, I feel so good!!! I was always afraid it would show off my face too much and I'm insecure about my skin... but, I actually just love it. I feel pretty.
Also, I'm gonna try this new thing where I don't edit out my acne. I have always done that because of a very deep insecurity about it I've always had. It makes me feel horrible (it's quite painful + I've been conditioned to see it as ugly) but it's a part of me. It's probably not going away anytime soon. I'm trying to learn how to accept it.
 Also, recently I've been noticing when babes I know post pictures with their spots showing and it makes me feel better about myself because every single one of them is lovely just as they are. If I help anyone feel more accepting of themselves just by showing my pimples, that's a damn good thing. It's a win-win, see?
My sweater is from Zara 
Do y'all like my new cut or what!!?

  1. Love the hair! It really suits you.
    I also really like your new ideas on acne, it's definitely great to see other people with skin that isn't flawless, it's inspiring and hopefully we can all accept and love ourselves as we are <3

half a year later

Oops, I didn't post for half a year. Turns out doing a PhD is a lot of work! It's summer now, though, so that excuse doesn't work. I've fallen behind on almost all of my internet responsibilities - except for instagram, which I use more than anything else at the moment. Only a month and a half left of summer then I dive back into school. Trying to enjoy the time I have right now, just existing in montreal, learning french and seeing friends and spending all my money on food. Here's what you may have missed from the past 6 months:  Butterball had surgery on his entropion! Thank you to everyone who donated to help us afford this surgery for him. He is so so much happier now. All healed up!  My brother and my niece (not his daughter, my other brother's daughter lol) xoxo
