You may not be able to tell from most of my photos, but I have lots of freckles on my face. I’ve come to accept them, and even really like them at times, but it was a much different story when I was younger. The kids at school called me “freckle face”. I hated it. I remember complaining to my grandmother at one point. She just kept telling me how cute the freckles were, and that they made me unique, and that I had better not even think of using any skin whitening products to get rid of them. I took her advice, and I’m glad I did. When I started dating, the boys loved my freckles! In fact, I still get a lot of compliments on them. But of course, there are still those who love to make fun of me - like Kevin. He insists that my freckles become much more noticeable when my face is red from embarrassment. And I guess he should know since he’s the one so hell bent on embarrassing me! Someday I’ll get him to tell you about the car windows getting smashed at a baseball game we attended! Heck, Kevin, go ahead and share the story in the comments!

Freckles rock. Can’t explain it, they just do. I think women who have freckles like them inversely proportionally to how much guys think they are sexy.
Why is that?

Freckles 100% rule. That’s one reason I love the summer; all the freckles really come out to play.
