ABOUT ME: THE PERSON
Hi! I’m Jen Kashak, (pronounced like the letter K and the thing you don’t want to live in, “K-shack”). I’m an only child, a loving wife to my hard working graphic designer husband and a mom to a sweet, smart nine year old boy whose laugh I adore. I’m a loyal friend, a dreamer, a list maker, and an optimist. I don’t like cooking, scary movies, cold weather, wet socks, and litter bugs. I love chap stick, feel good movies, positive people, travel and trying new things, a good story, chocolate chip cookies, and spending quality time with my family.
Choosing to do a self portrait project was not an easy decision. Like the majority of women, I’ve never been completely comfortable with myself. I’ve always been taller than most people, at 5’11”, and clumsy. My feet are too big, and my chest is too small. I am in a constant battle with my frizzy, slightly wavy, crazy thick hair. I’d like to lose about 10 pounds, but I only seem to enjoy the idea of exercising, not the actual act. I’d love less wrinkles, clearer skin, whiter teeth, and eyebrows that are perfectly arched. Some of these things I can change, some I cannot. I’m trying to love this body I have today, and to focus on the beauty, rather than the flaws, because I truly do believe that there is so much beauty in all of us. Even in ME.
