I'd be lying if I said I didn't live for Jennifer Garner's Instagram page. From hilarious skits to dramatic beauty transformations, she's nothing short of good, good content. And providing such content once again, today the actor shares yet another reel to the 'Gram, but this time while makeup-free.
Taking to her garden to pick some summer fruits, Jen prances about showing off her apricots, figs and apples. I mean, isn't she just the best?! "Summer in my garden. ☀️" she writes in the caption of her post.
See to the below vid to witness how she hasn't aged a day since the iconic 13 Going On 30, circa 2004:
Having gushed over her beauty, it's worth noting that this isn't the first time we've seen Jennifer pare back all. Earlier this year in January, the star combined her hilarious whit with said beauty to make for a video that had us 'oohing' and 'ahhing' – in equal parts admiration and adorable-ness (yes, the vid involves a dog).
The actor went au naturale, wearing her glasses on a makeup-free face. Now, while that might not sound as exhilarating as fruit picking, you need to see just how great she looked.
Oh, and not only that but she also sang to her adorable dog, Birdie. Warning: the following vid may induce a sense of FOMO, thanks to said puppy cuteness.
Everyone's clicking on...
Singing a song from hit musical A Chorus Line, Jen referenced its two main characters in her caption, asking fans: "Birdies more of a “Val” than a “Morales”, don’t you think?".
Of course, fans and followers had their own thoughts, leaving loveable and funny feedback (for both Birdie and Jen) in the comments section. Read a select few below:
"Birdie, blink twice if you need help!! 😂"
"'she's doing it again' 'ugh'"
"Dogs must think we’re crazy!!"
"I adore this"
"This is what I come here for: good wholesome, dog-based content. ❤️"
"I’m glad to see I’m not the only weirdo who does stuff like this to my dog. Thanks for always making me feel normal, Jennifer Garner."
"She’s definitely a Val 🤣"
"I thought your singing was pretty good. I guess it was just not one of Birdies favorites. 😂😂😂"
