Since moving to montreal and starting my phd in September, I have had next to no time to blog or even take photos of my outfits. School is intense. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, and sometimes I feel like I'm failing at it. I'm doing okay though, and I'm not giving up just yet. I am a TA now! I have my own tutorials! Grading is the worst!! Also, side note, I have been taking accutane since like, July (a couple weeks spent finding my dosage which is 40mg/day) and my skin is the best it's ever been? Like I resisted accutane for so long and by NO means am I encouraging it for everyone to use. But I haven't felt this confident about my skin since like before I started caring about my appearance (I can almost remember when it happened exactly, some time in grade 9 lol). I just wanted to share my skin success. I finish accutane at the end of the month, pray 4 me that my acne doesn't come back. I still draw on freckles sometimes Laur...

The site LensFlavors  generously gave me a pair of colored contacts to review! As they say, to "add another flavor" to my eye. I like my blue eyes but because my eyes are such a prominent feature on my face, I have always wondered what I'd look like with different colored eyes. Now is my chance to find out! I chose the color called Red Wine  and I have to say, I really love them. They were a bit hard to put in because I've never worn contacts before but after watching a Youtube tutorial, I got them in and mostly adjusted to them within an hour. The color of the lens tints my vision very slightly pink, which I don't mind because pink is my favorite color and it's like looking through rose-colored glasses - literally. From a little further away, they look almost brown-red. I love that even more because I have always thought brown eyes are incredibly beautiful and deep.  From even further away: They really change my look/face! I love this option....

Just before I moved to England, I started saying little goodbyes to things, rituals mostly. thinking, "this time next year I won't be here for this" and now my time in England is up and I am headed back to Canada in a couple weeks... And I find myself saying small goodbyes to what (and who) I've come to love dearly here fireworks for bonfire night in London for Maisie's exhibit in Late at Tate Britain.
