Growing up is hard. Really hard. #awkward
1. The Braces Are FOREVER Phase
I know everyone says to get pearl, but I just really like doing color schemes. Like pink and red for Valentine’s Day or green and light green for St. Patty’s.
2. The I Am The Next Disney Channel Original Movie Star Phase
Move over, Lizzie McGuire.
3. The Photobooth Is Soooo Funny, But Actually Kind Of Flattering Phase
The one that makes us look like chipmunks is, like, hilarious, but black and white just really makes us look older and more sophisticated.
4. The I Just Use Makeup to Highlight My Natural Beauty Phase
I really want it to look natural. Do you think purple eyeshadow is too much? No? Me neither.
5. The My Mom Hasn’t Bought Me A Bra Yet Phase
They call it a training bra, but what is it training?
6. The I’m 13, I’m An Adult Now Phase
Seriously, adults these days have no idea what fashion is. What do they want me to wear, a turtle neck?
7. The Abercrombie Everything Phase
Ugh. Fitch please.
8. The Whoa, That’s A Closeup Phase
This was all in preparation for the invention of Snapchat. Obviously.
9. The No One Understands Me Phase
All I want is to paint my nails black and listen to My Chemical Romance, but my mom ruins it by driving me around in her minivan…
10. The Mean Girls Phase
Please, please, please let me look like Regina. Or Gretchen. I’ll settle for Gretchen.
11. The I’m So Cute and Adorable, Love Me Phase
Just out here tryna function.
12. The My First Camera Phone Phase
First duck face, circa 2006.
