The professor will see you now

 

Last week I received these rather specsy (geddit?? yes yes, we all know how funny you think you are) glasses courtesy of Firmoo. I'm actually supposed to wear glasses full-time, but I don't because I used to get picked on at school, (I was a nerd, what-up). I was gona go for classic hipster frames but I picked out these clear ones instead to try something a little different - 'granny cool' meets 'biochemistry chic', killer combo right?

I think I make it work :P

 

For those of you who haven't heard of them, Firmoo's basically an online optical store - selling a wide range of stylish and affordable frames which you can get whether you need to wear glasses or not. One thing I found quite cool about their website was the 'virtual try-on' app, where you have the option to upload a picture of yourself to get a better idea of what they'd look like on. I got distracted and ended up playing round with this for ages, fashioning myself out to be anything from a secretary to a celebrity (I'm a keen procrastinator, don't ya know). Something that I found pretty spec-tacular (oh yeah the jokes just keep coming) when the glasses arrived was that they came with a free case and a teeny tiny screw driver along with spare screws, in case they come loose. Speaking of a screw gone loose, no clue what was going through my mind when I took the photo below... Mmm, anywhoo, I found them to be really comfortable to wear and they fit my face perfectly. Firmoo are currently running a scheme offering free eyewear to first-time customers, all you have to do is pay for shipping, and viola! you too can look as specsy as me
(which let's face it, isn't hard really).

In other news I am now officially living in London  *que celebratory cheer* I won't go into avid detail just yet but it's definitely been an adjustment... I've been at war with the kitchen all week; currently the score is Kitchen: 6 - Me: 4, which isn't too bad really, although I have up to this point broken the oven, a knife and two can openers. I very almost burnt the place down last week, the only flipside was that I got to pretend I was a superhero running through smoke with a tea towel cape on my back. I wasn't even cooking anything, I just turned the oven on to check it was in fact a functioning oven, which it was, at the time... I used to think only smart people wear glasses, clearly I'm an exception to the rule.  Laters lovlies!
