Hey guys! Happy Friday!
Thought I’d share something funny with you today for a change. Now this takes a lot of guts, ok? ๐ I’m sharing 5 pics from the past that didn’t make the cut. Why? Because I look ugly in them, that’s why ๐ But such are the struggles of a selfie taker – it takes a lot of tries to get that perfect (or near perfect, or acceptable) selfie.
Here we go!
{ONE}ย Cookie Monster
Cookies don’t cross the threshold of my house very often, but when they do, they don’t stay long. On such a rare and wonderful occasion one just has to take selfies, right?
Yeah…it’s hard to stay focused when you have two difficult tasks at the same time – taking a selfie and eating a cookie.
{TWO} That plank…
You know how there’s a ton of plank streaks on the Internet and everybody is posting screenshots of their iPhones with the timer and that’s awful BOOOOH-RIIIIIING? Well, some of us take it to the next level – we take pics of ourselves while planking. Now, that’s a difficult thing to do. But we try:
After a bazillion attempts that leave you with the disaster shots like above, you finally say “what the heck” and ask your husband (daughter, son, mom, dog) to take a more presentable picture of your effort to share with the #fitfam.
{THREE} Yoga Pics
I’m sharing a lot of my workouts on social media. That being said, I also do a lot of yoga and I always struggle with ideas when it comes to sharing my practice after having it. What? Take pics of your yoga mat with your feet on it every time? Booooooohriiiiing… So. This time I decided to be a little more creative and take a selfie with my yoga mat bag which has the OM sign on it.
But while I was trying to do that in from of my back door, a UFO with aliens in it came around with very bright lights:
When they were gone, I finally managed to take that selfie with my mat bag. Yeah!
I look like I have no lips, but that’s ok ๐
{FOUR} Don’t even ask….
I have no idea, how I turned this:
Into that:
All I know it required an early Sunday morning, strawberries and 5689 attempts. ๐
{FIVE} That one time…
…when I was alone at the YMCA locker room after my workout and decided to get creative with my selfie again.
So before I produced this:
a lot of things happened…(WARNING: graphic content, may be disturbing):
And that’s that about the tough life of a blogger and how hard it is to take that perfect selfie.
Have a wonderful weekend, guys!
Ha ha! I loved this, but definitely didn’t think the out-takes were very bad. I immediately delete my bad ones!

lena i LOVE LOVE THIS. I take about 320498234092380 before I like the selfie/food picture/image I’m trying to take. Seriously, MANY photos are taken just for one silly thing, it’s crazy ๐ glad I’m not the only one! Especially food in mouth pics, THOSE are tough!

For some reason I kept mine. I must have known I’d want to write a post about it one day ๐
I seldom do selfies. The camere loves me nรณt, so I don’t like taking my own picture.
