So we’ve come to the very last post in my selfie collection. I have to say that when I started this project I had no idea that this was going to end up being one of the most emotionally intense 3 months of my life so far. In some ways if I had have known that I might have chosen to do this at a different time or possibly not at all but in other ways I am grateful that I documented this time and I feel like later it will be good to look back and remember how I felt. I am still not quite ready to explain the source of my ups and downs but I promise that for those who don’t know it really will become clear very soon and that it continues to be a really good thing… just with some tough days. And for those who enjoy looking at me pulling all my many faces, there will still be selfies on Instagram, probably just not quite as many.
Day 91
Winter in London tends to arrive all at once and it definitely turned up over the last couple of weeks. It made me grateful for this massive scarf my mum-in-law gave me for my birthday… which appears in a lot of this round of photos
Day 92
This picture was all fringe, eyebrows and tits
Day 93
I did not feel well here… which is why my face is so grey 😦
Day 94
And then I felt somewhat better and less grey… which was nice.
Day 95
Last year I bought a cheap but very thick parka from Primark and it’s turned out to be one of the most hardy, versatile and necessary coats I have ever owned. When the hood is up it’s like wearing a blanket.
Day 96
Mr O and I were supposed to go to Salzburg for the weekend to check out the Christmas markets but the airline cancelled out outgoing flight due to a staff shortage and couldn’t offer us another one for 14 hours. In the end it was kind of pointless going at all but we weren’t going to let them ruin our weekend so here we are en route to London’s Christmas fair – Winter Wonderland
Day 97
On Sunday I was a bit less cheerful about not being in Salzburg but I was trying to embrace the silver lining that at least it was warm in our flat
Day 98
Lately my appetite is kind of crazy. This is my thinking about food face.
Day 99
Post workout face. These days my workouts are a lot more chilled out than they used to be but I still really enjoy training.
Day 100
There was some talk (mostly on Twitter with Luke) about me doing something crazy for my last picture but in the end I went for this little wry smile that sums up more of less how I felt about the whole thing
I’m sorry to see this come to an end. You are a beautiful young woman and I am honored to know you and call you a friend, Abbi O.
Thank you so much. It’s been a great way to connect more with my readers.
I have that same parka. It’s the best!
So cosy!
That went quickly!
I know!
I like the parka picture best.
Thanks! It is a fun picture!
Ahhh! You’re done! Congratulations, and it has been really fun checking all the selfies out here 🙂
Thanks, hon!
Nice touch for the smile at the end.
I feel like I should have smiled more throughout!
Aw, I love your selfies, they always make me smile. I think it’s a lovely project and more people should do it. It’s so refreshing to see honest selfies, rather than ‘airbrushed with a filter and this was on the 50th take’ selfies. They’re not the actual person you’re seeing, so why bother? x
Thanks! It was a fun project and although I did reject a few I wanted it to be real and show my moods and feelings. It’s going to be nice to look back at it one day.
It’s a great idea! 🙂
