The last thing you want when you’re pregnant is some random person online writing that you look a ‘bit of a mess’ ???

But soon-to-be mum of 3 Giovanna Fletcher took it in her stride, admitting on Instagram: “I just looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Fair point!’”

You see, 33-year-old author Gi is busy-busy looking after her 2 sons, 4-year-old Buzz and 2-year-old Buddy, and has more on her mind most mornings than make-up.

Stuff like: toothbrushes, breakfasts, toddler clothes. And we reckon that’s a state-of-mind loads of you will be able to relate to – us included! ?

Clapping back to her troll, she shared a photo of herself in a loose stripy top, writing alongside it:

“An online stranger commented on my appearance the other night. Talking about me being ‘a bit of a mess’...

“Having just spent the day entertaining the boys, after a weekend of doing the same, I just looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Fair point!’.

“See, the thing is, I really don’t have the time (or desire) to pile on the make up when I’m in my own home.

“In fact, I don’t even look at my make up bag. Neither do I manage to do more than gather my hair and tie it up on top of my head. My clothes are baggy and ones I can run and play in...

“In the mornings I go for speed, ease and comfort because I have other things to factor into my morning routine. Like getting the boys fed and dressed, and dealing with the morning toothbrushing wrestle.

“The most important thing to note though, is that this is my face. The actual face I was born with. And I’ve NOT ONCE heard the boys complain that mummy isn’t better put together.

“I am in absolutely no doubt that they love me in whatever state I happen to be in. I think their opinion carries far more weight ❤️ "

This post from Giovanna is exactly what we needed to read this morning - when we're all a little knackered and it's doom and gloom outside ☁️

And we just wanna echo exactly what she's said: there's no shame in rocking a pair of joggers if they make you feel comfortable, and a make-up free mug is never, ever a mess in our eyes!
