Hola Chicas!
Two things:
1. When I first started blogging (Oct 2008... 10 years ago last week!), it was the Fotki days. The original IG! I'd snap a pic of myself first thing in the morning to share some essential hair revelation, and wouldn't think about the fact that I was completely bare faced... we didn't have filters... no apps to smooth out ya shit... there were no IG eyebrows... I was usually in a robe or sweatshirt. Hell, I was barefaced (save for a neutral lippie) at my own wedding in Aug '08!

Fast forward to today. It almost feels as if you can't take a 'fresh face' pic unless you explicitly state the reason why you'd do such a thing (to show off how good and youthful your situation is, of course, or as a brave gesture of self-love). The only problem is, I'm 'fresh face' everyday... I only wear makeup when I have something major to do that involves cameras or a public appearance. But when I take my pics, I feel like, I look like who I am-- a tired, but happy momma, doing the best she can. I worry that I look like Alicia Keys in her no makeup phase... beautiful, but... a little sleepy? I've been back on IG for about 6 months now, and I mostly share words. When I do share a pic, it feels like a whole thing. Sometimes I even draw an end on my sparse brows and swipe on a little BB cream (I never wear it cause I hate washing it off). Am I alone in this? Or do you love getting dolled up to snap a selfie? Do you don a whole, full face most days? Did you just start? Like one day you just turned a corner and had a 1 hour morning makeup regimen? Let me know in the comments!
Later Gators,
Nik
