What I instagrammed VS What I'm doing

The fact that multiple people have sent me THIS article says a lot about who I am. Basically this is an article on the fact that I know too much about wasting time staging and editing the perfect instagram picture but in reality my life isn't nearly as glamorous. The best part of all this? I'd like to say it's true. But in my defense I CANNOT stomach the fact of a picture with bad lighting and an ugly filter. Easier said than done but not everyone can be as artsy as the chosen few *hairflip emoji*. For all you nosey fans, trust me I love being a nosey reader sometimes too...this ones for you homegirl. Oh...and homeguy because I'm sure theres one or two of you floating around...

1. #FOODPORN

What it looks like...

Post shopping spree I decided to devour the most magnificent item that would look best with a filter from a chic restaurant. I was obviously in a rush to go do some Birkram Yoga but it's okay...I think I'll sit in my car for a few and let this bad boy digest. 

What really happened was...

I was hitting up some errand returns and stumbled upon a new #BRUNCH place that offers take out. Hello, score! I was on a solo outing so why would I sit there (during peak times) and stuff my face (mess and all) for a party of one? Don't think so. Also I was in a rush to get to point B, so at point A Rachel's belly was very stuffed. P.S: My iced coffee had too much cream in it....le vom.

2. MORNING ROUTINE

What it looks like:

Waking up with the sun. Turn on coffee pot. Scramble through my rings of the day *pending*, about to read the next greatest novel (maybe true), and some GLAMOUR. Soon followed by running out the door, sunnies in hand.

What really happened was...

I was deciding where to put my monogram (via the comfort of my bed). Got up, went downstairs to get coffee (made by...my dad...Thanks dude<3), sat at my desk, awkward left arm hovered over my right arm to get the perfect arial view. Back to bed. Pick filter. Clean up mess later. 

3. JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL....

What it looks like: I have ample amount of coffee dates in said park where I go to sing with the musicians, break dance with the strange crew, and croissant in hand. 

What really happened was...

I just got done an interview and walked x amount of blocks to my favorite park just be-freaking-cause. Right after this picture was taken, I spotted an old ex and his new arm candy and proceeded to the nearest trashcan. Sorry, TMI freak the freak out and call everyone in my phone list to call me the heck down.

4. I WOKE UP LIKE THIS.

What it looks like: I have a fabulous photographer who enjoys taking time out of his day to photograph moi. 

What really happened was:

Things going through my mind include: This photo was supposed to be a flop. Do I look awkward? Should I smile? Well, damn who let me be a fashion blogger. This will probs look better with a filter, right? Ohhhh I like this one maybe I should put it on the blog. I planned this outfit because I'm finally not wearing black. Let's go get 7/11. My photographer is my brother.
