It's no mystery that social media can be very deceiving. When ex-Instagram model Essena O'Neill publicly quit her media empire, followers were shaken. Social media and its so-called reality became the talk of the town. Although O'Neill admitted to her past posts as being far from genuine, there are many other social media queens who are more than happy to admit their imperfections. Here are some inspiring women who should rule your 2016.

1. Jessie James Decker.

Not only is she #couplegoals and #familygoals, but Mrs. Decker knows a thing-or-two about keeping it real. Being a mother of two, she understands that babies change one's body and getting back in shape doesn't happen over night. Other photos she posts of motherhood include breastfeeding and toilet training -- something less than glamorous, but a major aspect of her life. Even though it's no secret she's loves makeup, Decker still makes an effort for her followers to see her bare-faced beauty too. All around, Jessie is a quirky mom who shows every side of perfectly imperfect life. (https://www.instagram.com/jessiejamesdecker/)

2. Chrissy Teigen.

Another soon-to-be mom who has truly mastered the art of lacing life with laughter. It seems that no matter what she is up to, Teigen can find a reason to smile. She broadcasts her silliness and puts her inner-dork on display. And just like Decker, pregnancy has changed her body in all sorts of fantastic ways which she totally rocks and embraces.

3. Laci Green.

This is the woman who educated me on everything in the sex department that our middle schools forgot to mention (or purposefully pushed under the rug). Green is one of the most body positive women out there, with a goal to make you feel just as good about yourself. She sparks conversations about men getting sexually violated (because, yes, some people still think this can't happen!) to normalizing women with body hair and everything in between.

4. Blake Lively.

Her beauty is undeniable (which all "Gossip Girl" fans can attest to), yet her heart is even more stunning. Lively has used her voice to promote various organizations such as NoCeilings.org, Women of Worth, and Donate Life. Despite her celebrity status, Lively's hilarious posts show she's a down-to-earth woman that we all want to be besties with. (https://www.instagram.com/blakelively/)

5. Essena O'Neill.

As previously mentioned in the introduction, O'Neill made a shocking decision to expose the filtered life that social media encourages. One day, this ex-model finally had enough of perfection and decided to use her mass following for good by promoting social causes around the globe. Now, her Instagram captions have been altered to reveal the true story behind each photo -- and how much effort goes behind a seemingly effortless photo. (https://www.instagram.com/essenaonieil/)

So whether your feed is stocked with selfies, scenery, or social causes, always remember to keep it real.
