My Left Thumb

05/13/15 | assorted

My Left Thumb Starbucks Venti Iced Coffee

After yesterday’s post I was surprised on how many comments I received where people were happy I shared a part of my life, even if it was from 15 years ago.  Today, I have another tidbit of my life but much more recently. It was not until Sunday that I realized how many photos I take and post on social media where the only part of me you can see is my left thumb.  Odd, but true.  

Often times it is the best way to showcase something up close and personal when I am in a hurry.  I am right handed so I grasp my iPhone and hold up the product, and from recent photo it seems like it is usually a drink, in my left hand for the photo op. Here are some of my favorite thumb-sies (get it, selfies, but with my thumb?):

    Good thing you keep your left thumb nail well polished, since it’s such a star! 😉

    That would be a fun IG feed all its own: My Left Thumb. Hmmm…..

    Ha I have this problem too. I’m left handed and I take more photos of my thumb than I do of my face.
