Former "The Bachelorette" star Kaitlyn Bristowe bared all on social media after a long few months. In January, the reality TV star shared a makeup-free snapshot on Instagram with a lengthy caption explaining her decision, writing: "This is gonna mess up my esthetically pleasing feed and I don't really care. After 2 months on Broadway [in 'Home for the Holidays'], getting dolled up with full hair and make up, this is how I normally look. It's been a whirlwind and I have just been 'on' for a while now. Poor Shawn [Booth], but I have been run down, moody, tired, cranky, irritable, and probably smell bad because I hate showering. Just wanted to remind you today while scrolling, that you're beautiful, Instagram is a highlight reel, and we all have things to work on. But work on the inside this year, scroll less, love more, and the outside will fall into place. Let's make 2018 the year of #Realstagram and mix one in every once and a while! Who's with me 🙋🏼♀️."

Kaitlyn Bristowe is a huge proponent of #Realstagram — posting a very real, filter-less snap of yourself on an otherwise often very filtered platform. She continued her streak this summer, posting this barefaced photo on Aug. 13. Along with it came a very lengthy caption that included some things to think about: "Couple things. Did you know that you can have Botox and still post a #Realstagram ? Doesn't make you less real. Did you know you can have microbladed brows, and still do a realstagram? Doesn't mean you need to call me out. The message behind a realstagram is that, we we are all human, and we are all victims to the suckhole of comparisons. Did you know that social media ISN'T REAL LIFE??? If you guys love me for my confidence, my happiness, and my humor, I want you to love me for my insecurities and my hard days as well. Because that's real…"
