Sometimes I make it easy for them, sometimes I don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faez was equally unwilling to clear up the other mystery surrounding the post \u2014 what exactly \u201cOh well\u201d was supposed to mean.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2018Oh well\u2019 can mean a lot of things depending on the day,\u201d she explained. \u201cI\u2019ll let everyone keep guessing what I meant by it \u2014 that\u2019s kind of the point. I don\u2019t think every caption needs an explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving a little unexplained appears to be working for the creator. Influencer analytics platform HypeAuditor listed Faez at more than 1.4 million Instagram followers in July, with her account recording 9.19 percent follower growth over the previous 30 days.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-fans-had-a-major-clue-hidden-in-rita-faez-s-boat-ride\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fans Had A Major Clue Hidden In Rita Faez\u2019s Boat Ride<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZKkVYGF5sY\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distinctive scenery helped explain why some followers identified Faez\u2019s destination so quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lago di Braies, also known as Pragser Wildsee, sits in South Tyrol in the Italian Dolomites and has become famous for its emerald waters, towering mountain backdrop and instantly recognizable wooden boats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italy\u2019s official tourism website describes the lake as sitting about 1,490 meters above sea level beneath the 2,810-meter Croda del Becco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Tyrol\u2019s tourism authority even describes renting a rowboat from the lake\u2019s wooden stilt boathouse as perhaps its most \u201ciconic\u201d experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, Faez\u2019s followers had one very recognizable clue floating right beneath her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also isn\u2019t the first familiar face to discover the photogenic destination as \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d actress Emilia Clarke previously vacationed there and shared the trip on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-faez-s-european-getaway-has-been-keeping-fans-busy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faez\u2019s European Getaway Has Been Keeping Fans Busy<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DaaGGGBl5to\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
