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.

I don't do it just because my kitties can't have the extra sodium from our human food (they're elderly and on a Renal cat food diet). Otherwise, who would resist those eyes and meows? Many years ago I had a kitty who was crazy about breaded cauliflower. And strawberries. :)

What's to worry? You put the utensil in the dishwasher and it is sanitized

I always have to let my cat sniff what I'm cooking. He's rarely impressed but still insists anyway.

I'll do it even with the same spoon. A dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's and we have no problems exchanging saliva with our significant others so. ^^

Hell no. My dog (6 lb Yorkie) didn't know she was a dog. She thought she was a baby.... Until it came to eating off my dishes. We went on a trip and I put dog food in a bowl. She wouldn't eat it. I had to dig it out with my hand and feed it to her. She KNEW that was a major no no.

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

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.

My dog would always curl up in the space behind my knees/legs and rest his head on my leg.

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.

I live in Maine. We'd eat ice cream only 2 months a year if we waited for hot weather.

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

My legs not smushed together? Me. It's hard for me to keep my legs together since my thighs are too big.

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