About

Hey! I’m Annie Le. I’m a city girl, Vietnamese–Canadian living in Edmonton, Alberta. 

I’m just trying to find the beauty in this world and learning to stop and look up at the stars and smell the roses. Sometimes, I do and other times, I don’t.

You’ll find me discussing beauty, fashion, skincare, food, poetry, tv shows, and mental health (though I’m sure I’ll post about other things too); I post reviews, recipes, products I’m trying out, makeup and outfit looks and so much more! 

This blog is my escape, my journal, my ramblings, my whatever. I hope you find this blog insightful, helpful, or at the very least, entertaining.

What does “Project Switch Girl” mean?

 

Years ago, I had watched this cute rom-com about a girl being sloppy and messy at home but the moment she left her place, she was dressed up, elegant and yes, organized. I was taken with that idea, since–I must confess, I do the same. Except, I’m less elegant, put-together, and absolutely not organized when I leave my house. But I was inspired by that idea, absolutely taken with it.

 

Over the years, being a ‘Switch Girl’ has evolved and changed, as the seasons do, just like we all do. Now, it carries a different meaning. Of course, even after all these years, I still do the same, I dress up when I leave my house but the moment I get home…pyjamas and ponytails, oh, and I’m still not organized. Ever.

Nowadays, being a ‘Switch Girl’ is that my mental health does the same. I get ill and I become something different, I switch into someone else, I get better, then I become myself again. It’s a cycle, being me–not being me, being here–not being here. Up and down. So I guess, despite the earlier, cuter and definitely naive meaning, being a Switch Girl still holds true for me. It just means something more these days.
