Is it because of the harsh, sickly blue-tinted florescent lighting? The mirrored walls that cast stark shadows at unusual angles and reflect said lighting up your nostrils? The layer of perspiration glistening on your forehead? The complete and utter lack of kittens, art and cute furnishings?
Or is it because I roll up to HIIT class rocking a severe high pony, which, in my mind, looks just as sophisticated as Madonna’s during her Blonde Ambition phase, but in reality never does?
Or is it because everyone I work out with teases me (in a fun way!) about taking pics of myself in the mirror, so I end up smiling like someone just asked me if I’d eat a bowl of live earthworms for ten thousand dollars?
Basically, WHY IS IT SO HARD TO TAKE CUTE SELFIES AT THE GYM?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

That gym selfie is making me feel guilty! Must go tonight!
You look great! First of all, kudos to you for making it to the gym. I have a hard time making it to the basement to work out. I think I would be more motivated to go if there were kittens and cute furnishings. 🙂
Omg yes! So true! I’m always worried about getting caught so my smile is usually really awkward! Especially since I’m usually the only women lifting weights next to beefy dudes. There is no full length mirror in the locker room so if I try to take a selfie there I have to do it in the bathroom mirror which is lame. Ugh! But here’s the upside: the top down harsh lighting is really good for showing off muscles so next time flex!!! ?
Ha, great tip, I will try that next time I feel the need to proof that I was at the gym by taking a selfie.
Awesome!
I can NEVER take a good selfie when others are around! They make for some good giggles tho, haha.
Girlfriend… Are you leaving me a comment from Ireland right now?!
lol just seeing this. I had just gotten back! (It was SUCH a quick trip!)
The best part of that post is the guy behind you who looks like he ate bear meat for breakfast in the first pic, then realizes he’s caught in your selfie and immediately smiles. HAHA! I love it!
Haha, he’s really cool, as most of the people in class are. It’s a small group so we all get to know each other!
