As a British person this feels very uncomfortable! But here I go: I like my tooth gap and I like my 'beauty spot' mole on my upper lip. Both are things people have made fun of me for, but I wouldn't change them for anything!

This is such a great idea. I like my eyes, they are a little small but uniquely colored (blue with a goldish ring around the pupil) and my fraternal twin has the exact same color eyes so even when I don’t see myself as beautiful or am having a bad skin day I see how beautiful her eyes (and all of her) is and I remind myself to focus on all the blessings I do have

That's such a lovely reminder that although we struggle to see beauty in ourselves, we can so easily see it in others!

I love my hair! It took me a long time to love it, being a natural redhead, I hated it when I was a wee girl but now I adore it and love how it’s gently fading as I’m getting older 👩🏻‍🦰

As someone who spends a lot of money and time to be a redhead, I am incredibly jealous!

My big eyebrows! Like others, I fought against them years ago but now I'm grateful for the big ol' slugs. The things I can express with just one of them...

I flipping love big chunky eyebrows, I overplucked *and* I think what did survive the 90s massacre is getting more sparse as I get older, which is very annoying. The folly of youth!

I love my curly dark brown hair. Growing up I always wanted straight glossy blond hair- the kind that hangs perfectly and never seems to frizz. I spent a decent amount of my life trying to tame it, but not anymore. As I’ve grown older I’ve leaned into the curls. Now I really love the way my hair looks and how it’s a reflection of who I am. I especially love looking at pictures of my children (or my ancestors!) and seeing that curly dark hair.

It's so funny looking back at the things we were desperate to change isn't it?

And I totally agree about seeing our features in our family members, I get my tooth gap from my grandad and my uncle has it as well. So special!
