A couple weeks ago, Sweetney challenged us all to post a picture of the real us. Our true selves in all our glory. I have been wanting to do it, but decided to wait for today, my 30th birthday, to take a pic and post it for all of you to feel better about yourselves. I love this idea that we can strip away all the perfect angles and photo re-touching and just embrace who we are. I probably look like this in real life more often than not (maybe with my hair brushed a bit), and my friends are probably saying “um, this pic is exactly how you always look”, but this was me this morning upon waking up. It’s a slightly blurry pic, because what am I, nuts? Only a little.

I just found you through Just Jamie and had to say that your morning hair looks SO much better than mine. I have frizzy hair that must be tamed with much mousse. Therefore my hair looks just like it does when I’m laying down, squashed against my pillow. Not a pretty site at 6am.

Exactly. Um, you look this good even in the morning?! And I’m thinking the bed head is pretty cute! Happy Birthday. I think 30 will suit you well.

oh my. If I looked that good in the morning [I can only WISH my bangs would do that!] I would be stoked!
Your hot mama!
