Yes girl. Love you wrote this…because, lately, I feel everyone is faking it or trying to. We don't wake up looking perfect in the morning, with perfect make up on and what not. We don't always have nail polish on, and if it's not always perfectly painted on either. Granted yes, we want to share the good, the positive, the great stories and photos…but we are only humans, we make mistakes, we fail, and we look like a disaster on certain days…yes, we don't want others to see us like that, but when it happens I am okay with it. The real us is more us and who we are, so it shouldn't matter if we have make up on or perfectly styled hair or matching outfits. Hahaha. Love this. 🙂

Another great post. I often struggle with the idea of posting the down times. Do readers really want to hear about the failures? But then I think about some of the other blogs I read and how I feel reading about their mishaps. Absolutely, share the full story – the good and the bad – even when it doesn't fit your "brand"

Yes!!! Real life is far more interesting than some sugar coated story.

i am a fan of real life as well. i like pretty pictures as much as the next person, and i have nothing against them, but i also appreciate pictures in general unless they are gross haha (please don't post your child's bowel movements, thanks). and i really want ice cream for dinner after today. so i feel that.

YES to this! I had a conversation with friends that was talking about they cant stand IG because everyone is so fake & makes it looks like life is all a beautiful picture. I'm like, "have you seen mine? Its got pictures of no make up, frizzy hair, & sweaty selfies. I love following people that show their whole life – not just the 'pretty'

So true. I avoid posting on social media, especially Instagram because those beautiful pictures others work so hard for…yeah. I have no clue how to do that. Or maybe they don't work hard and it just comes naturally. Either way. Inadequate feelings erupt when I try to post.

Ah this was a breath of fresh air. I've tried to brand myself and do the curated photo thing but I just can't seem to. Maybe that's why my Insta following is so low but oh well. I love the real life and enjoy those photos much more. Good on you for posting the photo you wanted!

It's almost like we coordinated posts today.
Maybe a real-life IG challenge would be refreshing this summer?
I've often thought "I can't post that. It's not 'me'". What the heck is "me" anyway!?

I'm with you! I'd MUCH rather read (and write) about real life…ups and downs and everyday things!

I definitely prefer seeing people's overall life and get bored of posts and photos that seem staged. I totally get that sometimes it's necessary, but I'm sooo with you on things not needing to be perfect to be real or post worthy.
