AS WE ALL know, Instagram can be a bit… misleading.
But what if Instagram actually resembled real life? What would it look like then?
Nails
On Instagram…
Your nails are pristine and perfect.
“What’s this? Oh, just a casual shot of my nails, which look like little pumpkins in time for Halloween. It took me, like, five minutes. It wasn’t a big deal at all.”
Your nail varnish has completely smudged and you weren’t able to take it off because you (a) don’t have any nail polish remover in the house and (b) you’re actually 10 minutes late for work.
Whoops!

Sunday breakfast
On Instagram…
Oh, I’m just having an actual buffet of aesthetically pleasing foods. You know, like we all do.
Avocados? Check. Fancy toast presented in a handwoven basket? Check. A bowl of yoghurt and honey with blueberries scattered perfectly on top? You betcha.
Here I am, feeling really replenished after my gym workout.
No, I don’t sweat or get redfaced. And I don’t know how my make-up stays intact because I certainly don’t reapply it before taking a selfie! I guess I’m just #blessed.

I’m hungover and forgot to do the shop, so I’m having a slice of cold pizza and a cup of tea.

Your drink
On Instagram
Look at me — having a classy cocktail and lovin’ life.
Cans? Me? Never.
If it isn’t pink and topped with a selection of summer fruit, I can’t drink it.
In real life
Hello darkness, my old friend…
That candid photo of your dinner
On Instagram
Oh, just a quick photo of my dinner before I tuck in. I definitely didn’t experiment with filters or take seven different photos or anything.
In real life
“One sec, just need to take an aerial shot of my dinner!”
Post-exercise selfie
On Instagram
Here I am, feeling really replenished after my gym workout.
No, I don’t sweat or get redfaced. And I don’t know how my make-up stays intact because I certainly don’t reapply it before taking a selfie! I guess I’m just #blessed.
In real life
GET THAT CAMERA AWAY FROM ME.
A morning selfie
On Instagram
I actually got up half an hour and freshened myself up before hopping back into bed to take a “I woke up like dis” selfie.
In real life
Nobody look at me until I’ve had my coffee.
