Nuding Up for Bloggers Without Makeup

A big high five to Jodie at Mummy Mayhem – this is snowballing. Fab idea too. Everyday women with normal lighting looking beautiful. No makeup, no airbrushing, no fancy photography lighting and no soft focus. Love it.

To be honest, going makeup free wasn’t too much of a chore for me, as I don’t tend to wear any unless I am going out somewhere. So no makeup at home, or to pick up at school or duck down to the shops. Makeup is for work out of the home, weddings, nights out and clothes shopping. (What is it about those shop mirrors?)

The bigger step for me is posting a pic of myself, because I don’t tend to. So here is me, about 10 minutes ago. Resplendent in my Oscar the Grouch pyjamas. Yeah, PJs at 9am. I am livin’ the high life.

    You are gorgeous, and your hair… beautiful!

    I often find myself still in my pjs at lunchtime, maybe if I get myself some oscar the grouch ones I’ll be able to command a little more respect!

    ohhh my PJ’s don’t come off until 10am or thereabouts so don’t worry!! I am totally with you about make-up when clothes shopping, I also wear my best underwear – nothing worse than seeing your granny undies with holes in them under those fluro lights highlighting every ounce of celluite. thank god for on-line shopping! hehehe

    Sometimes, my PJS may just stay on all day!
    Lovely photo.

    woh look at your eyes !! don’t you just love being nude !!

    I’ve got 2 eps to go of WW Season 2 – I’ve watched Season 2 x 3 times cos I’m not ready to fork out for the next Season yet … and the end of the season is just so brilliant. I’ve never watched WW it before – LOVE IT!

    Got paid today – ready for Season 3!

      Last part of season 2 is my fave episode of all – rant in cathedral, the cigarette, LATIN!, Brothers in Arms. Chills, man.

      I do love being nude. I am nude often. :D

    Lovely photo. I love how this has given us the opportunity to meet new bloggers & twitter friends.

    gorgeous! Oh, and what colour are your eyes. Are they green?

    1. Meredith on 14.05.2010 at 01:57 (Reply)

      Funny – they look green in this pic – but they are greyish-blue. Must be reflecting off the Oscar jammies. :D

    Meri,
    I’ve ‘known’ you for close to 12 yrs I think and this is the first time I’ve seen a pic of you… Not sure what I expected, you aren’t the picture I had in my mind but you’ve improved on it, absolutely :)

  18. Cerry on 14.05.2010 at 15:33 (Reply)

    You look great, but that’s not surprising, cause all the best looking people have Sesame Street PJs (mine have Cookie Monster on them).

    You look great! Oscar the Grouch PJs and all. :-)

    gorgeous! Oh, and what colour are your eyes. Are they green?
