I was an awkward teenager. Growing up I battled acne, wore braces and I made questionable fashion and beauty choices but I never gave up on improving myself.

I managed to find a regimen that took care of my Acne and I had my braces removed for prom. Never had it put back so my teeth is still wonky.

I took risks and tried out different styles. There was a period where I worked out consistently so I lost the roundness in my face.
