We appreciate it when celebrities show their authentic selves. Typically, the phrase “stars, they’re just like us” conjures images of famous individuals decked out in designer outfits while grocery shopping in high heels. But then there’s Drew Barrymore, who keeps it so genuine that we can truly relate to her. From sharing the chaos of her toddler’s tantrums to expressing confusion over how to spend her rare moments of free time, Barrymore’s Instagram feed offers a refreshing break from the polished perfection often seen on social media.
Still skeptical? Just look at her recent selfie: “How did I let it get this bad?” is a question many mothers find themselves pondering when they finally catch a moment to look in the mirror. Instead of relying on the myriad of parenting guides out there, we really need a universal Mom Bible titled “How Did I Let It Get This Bad” to hand out in hospitals.
Who hasn’t experienced that cringeworthy moment of realization? Grey hairs, check. Fatigued eyes, check. Brows that resemble a “before” photo for a landscaping advertisement? Absolutely.
Her post has garnered over 100,000 likes, and if you’re a weary mom, you can probably think of 100,000 reasons why this resonates with you. Every time I catch sight of my own unruly brows, I convince myself I’m “starting fresh,” giving myself an “excuse” to visit a professional for a shape-up. After nearly two years of motherhood, I can say I’ve never taken the time to get them waxed or even made it to a salon. Because #momlife only allows for a quick tweezing session with Revlon.
Following her iconic “Browfie,” Barrymore took her daughter to the salon ahead of the second season of her Netflix series, Santa Clarita Diet. It was simply adorable, as we all know that kids want to mimic our every move—and frequently, doing things together is the only way to accomplish anything.
While not every celebrity is down-to-earth, Drew Barrymore consistently proves she is one of us, and we admire her for it.
