In April 2015, Little Rock Illustrator Sally Nixon started an art project called "365" in which she had to create one illustration per day for a whole year. As it was not that easy to think of new drawing ideas so frequently, Sally started to search for inspiration in her own life and simple routine moments that she's going through. The artist wanted to show the natural side of real women besides staged Instagram selfies, Snapchat filters, and all the other forms of social media that rule our world.

The women of Nixon's beautiful drawings are captured doing their casual everyday life things like taking a shower, eating in bed, brushing their teeth, walking around the house without pants, and having lazy TV time with their friends. In other words - women when nobody's watching.

"They don’t have perfect bodies or perfect habits and that makes them relatable,” she explains to TL Andrews. “The scenes I create around them are everyday places: a bathroom, a restaurant, a messy bedroom. However, my goal with each drawing is to elevate the seemingly mundane girl problems to something special.”

I've heard of people doing this, but I have never done it. I brush before bed and in the morning... fully clothed.

She should be squeezing pimples on her shoulder. That would make it more relatable.

The realist part about this is the unchanged TP roll but the used rolls behind her

It's the toilet paper on the back of the toilet and NOT on the roll.

Thinking exactly the same thing here- 2 half rolls on the back of the toilet and none on the holder- typical ....

My cats definitely follow me to the bathroom, its most annoying when they want to jump on my lap (not when i'm doing my business!) but the other part in this photo that rings true is not putting toilet paper on the dispenser lol

@Celeste Spaniel - LOL!!! You don't live with pets, do you? I am a pet nanny and with my own dogs? I can NEVER go to the bathroom alone. It's like having toddlers, but worse because they never grow up. My youngest dog, Dixie, whines outrageously if I dare not let her into the bathroom and have mercy on me if I want a relaxing bath? She is so worried I am drowning in there she's pacing and whining at me. A dog client of mine pushed his way inside this week and jumped on my lap while I was on the toilet!!! *smh* No boundaries...

I never go to the bathroom alone. It's standing room only: 3 dogs, a cat, maybe 4 dogs - 3 small, 1 large. Then they start playing. Entertainment in every room!

I love that the door is open. Pooping with the door open is such a luxury. This piece makes me feel so relaxed.

My animals would always follow me to the bathroom so I had to keep the door open or they would feel excluded and scratch at the door ... both cats and the dog....so I can totally relate to this :-)

What I get out of this pic is the fact that the door is open, & not that's she's going, we all go.

IF that's how women look when they meet up to spend time together, then me and my friends are weird - we laugh, enjoy ourself and definately don't wear a "This is such a waste of my time" or "Honestly I will kill you, or myself in a moment" expressions.

Why all the girly books? I'd usually be reading Stephen King (my favorite!) and eating junk food when no one was watching.

This would never happen b/c 1. as a fat kid, i never waste food, this is crazy to me. 2. if i put my plate on the floor, the cats would be all over it. 3. i'm never to tired to not eat.

Accurate! Then when dry, you run your fingers under relatively warm water and the polish on the skin around the nail is easily pealed away.

I never wear my tights or socks this way because I hate the feeling of my toenails passing through the cloth. I wriggle them all and widen to make my foot enter the hole I create for this.

Yes, and that nail polish feels weird, tastes nasty, and peels off against your teeth. Bleah!

Food took too long... eating or sleeping or being naked is the apparent theme here!
