i have thought about doing this, but when the gorgeous Kerri and the beautiful Rachel did it, i was all “hellz yes.”  i challenge you all to do the same (assuming you’re not an anonymous blogger, of course!)!

Here’s my naked face:

DSC00928Yep. that’s me. no makeup.  and like all of you, i wish my skin tone was a little more even, and that maybe i could be twelve days shy of twenty-freaking-six years old and not break out anymore, but hey. i’m proud of me. and proud of the twelve-days-shy-of-twenty-six-years i’ve lived, loved, and most importantly learned. that smile is the smile of a girl who’s truly happy with herself, and knows that no matter what happens in life, there are people who will always be there for her. she’s a girl who’s finally comfortable with her natural hair color and feels like YES. brunettes DO have more fun. : ) she’s a girl who sees a face staring back at her that looks either “JUST LIKE YOUR DAD!”  or “JUST LIKE YOUR MOM!” (depending on who’s doing the talking — usually it’s “JUST LIKE YOUR MOM!” — must be the eyes) but knows that she’s a perfect combination of two people who raised her to stand up for herself, to stand up for what’s right, and to always do her best.  so what if the skin’s a little splotchy sometimes?

    You look fabulous… for reals! Almost as fabulous as those ice-cream cone cupcakes are going to look!

    SERIOUSLY? You are freaking gorgeous. How does one manage not to have patchy and/or reddish skin without makeup? Share you secrets, lady. Because it’s just not fair.

    I adore your genuine smile in this photo – you just ooze confidence (yeah, ooze is a gross word, but whatever) and also, I’m jealous of your dimple. When I was little I always wondered if you could ever have a dimple surgically implanted in your face. I WANT ONE.

    Heehee. You are adorable!
