~Intrigued~, I decided to do a little online stalking and find out just how different the Blue Lagoon is IRL than in the ridiculously gorgeous pics everyone posts on Instagram. Here are my findings:
This is Blue Lagoon on Instagram:
And THIS is Blue Lagoon in reality:
On Instagram? Warm! Tranquil! Inviting!
In reality, it's next door to, like, a factory...?
On Instagram, the Blue Lagoon looks so peaceful! Perfect for some much-needed alone time.
IRL, it's full of tourists and lined with damp towels and slippers from Marshalls!!!!!!!
Instagram makes it look ~très chic~ and luxurious.
But in real life, it looks like a dirty water park. No offense.
You know how literally EVERYONE who visits puts this sand/clay stuff on their face and takes a pic?
This is what they ACTUALLY look like.
And just trying to get a pic with Your Gurlz™ without any randos photobombing?
Yeah. Not as easy as you'd think.
The water looks SOOOO000oooOOOOo blue in all these Instas!!!!!!!
Sure, the Blue Lagoon is still kinda pretty with or without VSCO filters.
But if you're planning on visiting, just make sure to crop the smoke stacks out of your shot!!!!!!!
