Do you ever think “I wish my life was like that” when you see an Instagram influencer who just happens to look cute for every occasion? Well, as the saying goes, they probably wish theirs was, too.
26-year-old Kim Britt’s hobby is showing how she creates perfectly posed influencer-style pictures, but putting them side by side with the “real thing,” like a before and after shot of her trying to find the right angle or a picture of her doing the same activity in a more natural setting. She’s part of a trend of women trying to remedy influencer culture by broadcasting their behind the scenes side for all to see. Her Instagram photos show that while anyone can make their lifestyle look enviable with a flattering pose and a filter, nobody rolls out of bed looking Instagram-ready.

It just looked super stupid doing this first picture. Glad that was in our garden and not in a public area.

Let me tell you one thing. Having a little puppy is wonderful, but a puppy that young isn't home-trained, which means you need to clean up a lot at the beginning.
Need to say though that Mike learns super fast. I don't need to clean up his pee that often.

I don't know why felt every second girl on instagram poses with a flower in her mouth as soon summer starts I felt pretty stupid with it and it wasn't as tasty as hoped

Most of us are guilty of trying several times to get a cute photo while we were doing something that was supposed to be fun and carefree. Maybe you’ve even been disappointed because you did something you were proud of, like going for a run, but it was too windy for the picture you were envisioning and you just had to settle for going out and being one with nature like some kind of hippie weirdo without boasting about it online.

Edited with make up vs. natural.
Crazy how we can change our appearance with make up and photoshop isn't it?
Never forget, there is always more behind some pictures than you probably think. Never compare yourself to pictures.

We're on a little roadtrip from Switzerland to Croatia until Sunday, which means a lot of driving! They are always fun, but I was super tired, because I hadn't enough sleep the night before. If you swipe, you see how I looked 80% of the time not so fancy like the first one.

But one thing you can’t help but notice is that even Britt’s “unglamorous” photos give the impression that she has a good time enjoying the great outdoors and playing with her dogs.
Wanting to share your positive moments online isn’t unhealthy in itself. When your friends post pictures of themselves, doesn’t it simply brighten your day to see them and what they’re doing at that moment? If you’re doing something fun and you feel like taking a selfie, go ahead, just don’t put so much pressure on yourself—your friends will enjoy seeing you with a smile on your face and won’t care whether the elastic of your swimsuit is pressing into your side fat or if you did too little photo editing or even if your photo poses aren't the most flattering.

MY KID HAS PAWS.
That means I also need to go out with Buddy, when the weather is bad like today and not only when the sun is shining.
Don't forgot there are always two sides of a picture you see online and you mostly see just the bright one. Keep that in mind

Okay, first of all, the rainbow is obviously fake, thank you facetune. Second, I needed to cut Buddy out of the picture because he decided to take a pee next to me exactly in the same moment we took the picture.

"Have you ever felt sad because you didn't look like a girl you saw on instagram? I did. A lot. I compared myself with photos on social media, without knowing how they look 24/7. The power of a perfect pose and holding your breath is huge as you can see. Both pictures show me, both not edited. .
Years back, I always thought I will only love my body when I'm thin. In my head having a perfectly thin body like the ones I saw online, was the only way I could finally be happy. It took me so long to realize that first, nobody is perfect in real life, neither will I ever be, and secondly, having a body that is healthy and able to function, is the reason why I should love him at all, not because how society tells me how it should look like.
Hope this reminder helps you and you will not believe everything you see here."

My bikini always slips 90% of the time. I'm busy to bring everything to the right place again... The struggle of bring a woman I guess. By the way, the instagram picture is not edited (just a filter). Again it's just the right pose who makes the difference on my body.

50 squats a day or just the right pose? If you know a person just from social media, you can never know what's the truth behind a picture. Mostly we show just the best picture possible.
Keep that in mind. Don't ruin your mood, because you compare yourself to other pictures. You are worthy no matter what.

Somehow a lot of people here are always pretty, even if they're sick I look like a huge mess when I'm sick plus I would never had the energry to take photos for Instagram then Douple tap if you feel the same
In yesterdays story I talked about not getting to work if you're not feel well. I got a lot of DM's about it, so I thought I could repost this picture (from last year) and remind you:
It's your health and not the one of the company you're working for.
If you're scared of losing your job because of it, ask yourself if you really want to work for a company who value money more than your health? (Not talking about people who don't have a lot job opportunities because of the country they live in)
Your health should be your no. 1 priority. You can't buy it back once it's gone.
You should give a damm if co-workers gossip about you because they think you are not sick enough. If you're sick, you're sick point. Not their business

Does this picture even need a caption?
Remember, NOBODY and I mean NOBODY wakes up styled with a puppy and coffee in bed (except some influencer how it seems)
Are you a morning person? I'm for sure not. You better won't talk too much to me before I got my first cup of coffee

99% of the pictures I make with Buddy look like the right one: Buddy makes everything except being still and I act silly
I like those silly snapshots, but I see them way to less here on Instagram, but why? Because we don't look "that pretty" on them when they are not staged?
Life is too short to be all the same because we're afraid of stepping out of this fake perfectly feeds and showing also our silly and real sides. The truth can be so pretty if we would take everything too serious and be just who we are, no matter how this looks like

#iwokeuplikethis... sure I did
What about you, left or right?
It's always very funny to watch how people pretend to wake up here on Instagram. I don't know about you, but I never wake up with a full make up and my prettiest nightdress
I look like the right picture, smeared mascara, tiny and swollen eyes and a normal tshirt...

You had me at "woof"... or when you decided to bite my nose either way, you had me Mike!
Who can relate? You want to make a cute picture with your pet, but they just don't care and after 100 photos, there is maybe one which is good .
We named Mike after Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad, because he has very special eyes like our Mike (and of course it's a great character and we love the show so much)
