Things We're Afraid to Tell You

Is the reality in blogs real?
Do blogs look too much like the runway?
Or we are taking the whole personal thing too far with TMI?
We (all the fashion/lyfestyle bloggers) don't want to show off our fat cavess, yet we want it to be real and within reach. Sometimes we are afraid to tell you that our lives are just like everyone else - with everyday messes and joys. So why make it look so picture perfect? Because no matter how much down-to-earth we are, and no matter how much belly fat we have, we still want to look good, almost perfect. We don't tell you that we Photoshop pictures to improve lighting and colors, and the moment our hair is done we take the picture, or that the heels we are wearing in picture are getting swapped with flats the minute pictures are over. So let's be real. No one looks like a picture one hundred percent of the time. We do too have bad hair days and our thighs too look fat.
