I get a lot of compliments on my smile, my eyes and my hair. I'd say an even amount for each.
Something people seem to compliment you on the most.
My hair, I appreciate because I have always put a lot of energy into making sure that it's healthy. I also think that my mom being a stylist for so many years really made me a little fanatical about it always being well-maintained. There was actually a point when I was wearing it short, right before I grew it natural, that I would go to her for hair cuts but wouldn't even let her curl it. Talk about being OCD.
When I was a girl, people always told me that I had big beautiful eyes — even though I wore glasses. I couldn't wait to get contacts. And then when I found out about Lasik, I had to have it. So, now they're not hidden behind glasses.
I have a love-hate relationship with my smile because it's so big. I have tried to practice smiling smaller but it's either a big smile or no smile. Whenever I take pictures, especially with other people who have less teeth showing, it's the first thing people mention. lol But, these days I'm loving it more all the time because it reminds me so much of my maternal grandmother and my Aunt Bren's. Both of them had very bright smiles that were just a little crooked. It's so interesting me that you can inherit something as specific as a certain muscle movement in your face when you smile. When I smile, I squint my eyes and my mouth pulls down just a bit on the right. I love it.

DeleteI love all things about Katrice! But I must admit - that moment I met you in 1993 - I fell in love with the warmth from your smile. Love it big & bold. That's my Katrice! :)
