A couple bloggy friends around town have posted au naturel (that is, makeup free!) photos of themselves. I thought hey, why not? But how about upping the challenge?
How about posting a photo of myself with a makeup-free and unwashed face, bedhead that has not been touched by a hairbrush, while pyjama-clad up against a stark white closet door?
Without further ado I give you …
p.s. what about you? Up for the challenge?

You look great in the morning….I just showered so no go for me today. LOL!
Most days you see me with out makeup…I don’t put it on to work on essays.

Anyone brave enough to take a self-portrait with a makeup-free and unwashed face, bedhead, while pyjama-clad up against a stark white closet door IN A BATHING SUIT STORE CHANGE ROOM under those awful fluorescent lights WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER!!
Nice shot, Andrea, and thanks for playing!

Each picture I have seen of you girls ‘au natural’ has been nothing but BEAUTIFUL and I’m not kidding one bit. I want to do this, but I don’t know if I’m brave enough!
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human daughters: Emma (20) and Sarah (18). During the day I work as a writer at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for families. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
