Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave's "No Extensions, Roots for Days, Red Skin" Selfie

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave has been opening up about the realities of her life all summer long in a series of refreshingly vulnerable Instagram posts. From throwback pics cataloguing her staggering weightless journey to snaps showing her epic fitness escapades, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom-of-two often keeps it extra real when it comes to her everyday life. But in a recent Instagram pic, Teddi upped the ante on the run-of-the-mill makeup-free selfie and opened up about a typical day with her hectic schedule. 

On August 20, Teddi took to Instagram to get real about balancing her blooming career with mommy hood, and we have never felt more seen. "Let’s get real. I know Instagram can feel like a utopian highlight reel. So this selfie— the selfie of someone whose son woke her up at 1AM to talk Power Rangers followed by a work call at 5AM (cause East Coast ??‍♀️) and a daughter ready for breakfast at 6– a woman that is tired, with no makeup, no extensions, roots for days, red skin, still hasn’t showered from her workout. This is what I call a typical Tuesday morning. And I’m still smiling, because I love it and wouldn’t have it any other way. So let’s highlight that— the real things in life which make us smile."
