best worst selfies collection 2023

Best Worst Selfies of 2023

Yup, it's that time of year again!

A time where I not only laugh at myself, but I allow the world to laugh with me (or is it at me???).

I’m trying to convince myself that my selfie skills have steadily improved since last year - my collection is smaller! Is it?? In the very least, it's slightly less cringe-worthy. Hey, I did say that I was trying to convince myself!

What may tip the scale is this: A few months ago, I filmed tutorials for my calendar (showing how this unique product can be repurposed after use)… I’m afraid that the blooper reel is a disastrous collection of awkwardness - everything that you would have come to expect from my annual Best Worst Selfie collection. Only now, it’s been immortalised in video! Oh joy…

Without further ado, I give you my Best Worst Selfies for 2023:

Last year, my Word of the Year was "Rethink". I attempted to take some thinking-selfies for social media, which delivered a fabulous collection of dorky facial expressions.

The classic dropped-the-phone selfie, while photographing me and "Whisker Me Away", my African Wildcat.

Note to self: Do not take selfies on windy days... Again with the wildcat!!!

This collection would not be the same without some can't-fit-my-enormous-head-ito-my-selfies. With "Almost Home" on the right, and a halfway-there "Nit-picking" on the right.

Aaaand, of course the just-switched-on-my-camera-but-the-view-is-flipped selfie...

And again... You can see my increased frustration in the second pic, and of course the very successful finalé after finally managing to flip the view!

My supervisor, Kitty, keeping a watchful eye during the filming of my calendar tutorials. She's never too far away from the action!

And finally, the  crème de la crème of this collection - the blooper reel from my calendar tutorials (go read this blog post for the backstory on that first clip!):
Until next year! ;)
