this is me...


... not showered, no makeup, bedhead, wearing my husband's hoodie, and not photoshopped.  just me and all my imperfections.

inspired by jess gonacha's post - i've been feeling kind of blah lately, and her sincerity and keep it real attitude really gave me a boost today.  we all try to be so perfect all the time... jess's post gave me the courage to show my true, unedited self to the world.  go read her blog now!

xoxo,
lesley

Hey...that's awesome...I will do one soon...but have a really bad cold and am worried no-one will return after seeing my blotchy red face and swollen eyes from sneezing all day...I do love it though and have visited Jess's blog and read hers too...
Brilliant!

I posted the most terrible picture of myself with bed head about a week ago. It was oddly very liberating!
