But usually I feel that I have an odd shaped unflattering head. It is magnified by having to pull all my hair back for work because it's in a factory that makes sugar free candy.

I have next to no pictures of me from school age until motherhood. No pictures of my first pregnancy. <br />I just have to simple admit I'm not all that crash hot with the way I look. <br />Shortly after I had Bluey I MADE myself have pictures with him, I knew i'd regret otherwise. I eventually came to the understanding of "Well it's all downhill from here, may as well take picture's while you're young!" <br />I'm no camera whore, but I just do it and know that maybe in another 20 30 40 years I will be happy I did. <br />Mirrors and I? <br />Do you know how long one can go without looking in the mirror? For me it's 10 days. Yes. 10 days where I did not catch my reflection, I just hoped for the best. <br />What is it about mirrors that see right through you?Miss Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339773113889860348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-60068711641915901342011-06-29T16:16:24.731+10:002011-06-29T16:16:24.731+10:00I give mirrors a cheeky grin and that often cheers...I give mirrors a cheeky grin and that often cheers them up so they try harder to reflect the real me....Seana Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225191303428309442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-19830565498374176052011-06-29T15:20:31.339+10:002011-06-29T15:20:31.339+10:00Mirrors are not my best friends, but still, someti...Mirrors are not my best friends, but still, sometimes I find you can deceive yourself with the right angle/lighting. Photos, however, are unforgiving. I have so few photos of myself because I can't stand to see how the camera - and the world - sees me.

Perhaps this makes me sound like I don't care? <br />It takes a lot of effort to act as though your looks are insignificant. If only we were as carefree as men: a quick face wash and teeth brush in the morning, perhaps a wet hand run through the hair, and they're done. <br />I look OK, my boys love me, and that's all fine by me.
