This Instagram Account Serves Up A Refreshing Dose Of Reality

Do you find yourself scrolling Instagram gawking at those seemingly flawless pictures of influencers? You know who I'm talking about. The ones with perfect bodies, beautiful faces, who are constantly going on shopping sprees and flying all over the world.

Well, that's all an illusion and one girl on Instagram is showing you just why you shouldn't believe all the perfection.

How perfect is this Easter-inspired picture on the left posing with the cutest chocolate bunny?

In reality, I'm with her. I just wanna eat the damn thing already. Enough posing.

Oh gosh, I've fallen into this trap of trying to recreate the perfect balloon picture.

Don't judge me. I was celebrating, after all, so please go easy on me.

Don't you wish we all woke up like the picture on the left?

I'm lucky if I don't hit the snooze button three more times before rolling out of bed.

Now that spring is here, there's an influx of unnatural nature shots.

Everyone on Instagram looks like an explorer of the wilderness, but she shows that it's really only about looking like that for one minute.

Everything looks so much prettier and serene when you surround yourself with plants or nature.

But how many of us are guilty of killing these plants?

Oh my, don't ask me to recreate the picture on the left because that's just an accident waiting to happen.

The one on the right is more like it. LOL!

Makeup is always glam on the 'gram. But in real life...

Most of us are not self-taught makeup artists, and we get lipstick on our teeth or mess up our eyeliner. It happens.

I consider myself a bit of a foodie and believe me, those perfect pictures of my food on Instagram take some planning, careful lighting and much more precious time.

Most people don't have time for all that. They just want to eat their meal!

The importance of framing.

Life can seem super perfect as long as you're in control of what parts of it get shown! There's always something around the corner...

Why does everyone on Instagram eat pizza so cute?!

When I'm eating pizza, I'm sure I look like a total monster.

What is it with everyone on Instagram sucking in their tummy?

They're seriously giving the rest of us a tummy complex. We come in all shapes and sizes. Get it?

Why do all the Instagram pics of people in bed somehow involve a bouquet of flowers next to them?

Yeah, like that's what reality really looks like. What a joke!

Speaking of food, why does every fast food outing look so glamorous on Instagram?

I've tried to recreate that feel and failed miserably every single time. Where is my photographer?

Getting beautiful isn't really all that beautiful.

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm making a YouTube tutorial when I put on my makeup, but I'm sure I look more like the right pic than the left one.

Every pet owner on Instagram doubles as a pet photographer.

I admit I've tried desperately to take a beautiful picture of my cat for Instagram, but he always looks like a little goblin.

Ha ha ha, if only we all looked so dreamy on a Sunday morning.

Usually, it's my time to catch up on all the sleep I missed during the week.

Why does shaving your legs look so fun on Instagram?

When in reality it's just as dreadful as cutting those toenails that have been growing for a while.

Ads on Instagram are so obvious now.

And nobody really looks like that when they're using the products, as shown here.

This year I posted one of these pictures on the left.

In my defense, I felt so much pressure to do so. Now I feel so silly about it.

Here's another one of those perfectly styled and crafted "just hanging out with a book and a latte" pic every Instagram influencer is doing.

Trust me, they're so time-consuming.

Wet hair don't care.

Instagram | @the_thruth_is_not_pretty

Beautiful people of Instagram would have you believe even their showers are glamorous, but washing your hair isn't always a great photo op.

And if you can photoshop it, they will believe it.

LOL! That's an understatement. Anyone can fake perfection if they try hard enough. So don't be so hard on yourself.

Valentine's Day... goals?

Behind every couple that looks sickeningly sweet on Instagram, there's one that got into a fight about who put an empty milk carton back in the fridge.
