Watch This Mom Show You How to Flawlessly Fake a "Perfect Life" On Social Media
The most popular mom bloggers and vloggers may seem like they have it all together, but one from their ranks is here to break down their less-than-flawless reality.
Kristina Kuzmic, a Southern California mom with a popular parenting YouTube channel, shared a hilarious take on crafting a 100% false image of yourself and your family online. Her video, "How to Fake Your Perfect Life On Social Media," quickly went viral because... well, it's relatable AF. And it's also hilarious.
The mom of three spoofs "faking it," first sending a counter full of mess tumbling to the ground in order to set up the perfect wine-guzzling selfie. Her increasingly outlandish gags are all an effort to make it seem like she leads an enviable existence where the house is always clean, there's always a glass of wine at hand, her children are always willing to hug her – and, of course, she always has time to whip up a Pinterest-worthy homemade cake.
And if your real-life friends are calling you out on your house looking suspiciously clean in Instagram pics? Simple solution – Kuzmic jokes that you should just abandon all of those people who know the real you in favor of online-only friends who will buy all of your perfect little lies. Kuzmic's satirical video also features funny step-by-step "instructions" about how to make it seem like all aspects of your family life are easy, carefree, and glamorous...when behind-the-scenes, they're anything but.
The actual purpose of the vlogger's video is revealed in its final moments, when Kuzmic gets real and encourages moms to post whatever they want to – the good, the bad, the ugly, and every moment in between. After all, who are you really trying to impress? Other people who are, in all likelihood, faking it just as hard as you? I have to agree with her wise words – the world would be a much better (and saner) place if moms weren't egged on to compete with one another by social media jealousy.
