it's weird because for example, everyone is mostly out working, stressed and what not, and a lot of them are just ''tanning'' outside or relaxed, I am saying to myself don't they work?
Influences and lifestyle models (or whatever you'd like to call them) go out of their way to project a certain image, meaning even if they're doing all the grunt work themselves, they're only going to post certain themes. The goal is to appear to be living 'their best life'.
They're not going to post a video of the work it takes to arrange a photoshoot, because that's real-world stuff. They're not going to post a video of them boxing up the borrowed jewellery to mail back, because that's real-world stuff. Some of them do live subsidized lives to some extent or another (by parents or a partner, for example) but others don't seem to.
Even very minor celebrities do this, they try to build a personal public brand by controlling what aspects of themselves the general public sees. Part of this usually involves compartmentalizing the rest of their life. If so-and-so is a computer programmer or a high school English teacher, it doesn't matter to their career as a glamour model or death metal vocalist.
