Instagram is, without a doubt, my preferred social media platform. I don’t have a Facebook account, and my tweeting skills leave much to be desired, but I find myself checking my Instagram multiple times throughout the day—definitely more than ten times, perhaps closer to thirty!
Back in September, my lovely friend Sophie from Soinspo tagged me in the “I Heart Instagram” Tag. I’m not entirely sure why it took me so long to respond, but I’m excited to finally share my answers!
What is your Instagram handle?
@Paula13t
How many accounts do you follow?
Currently, I follow 169 accounts.
How many followers do you have?
I have 1,241 followers.
What are your favorite hashtags?
I definitely enjoy using #bbloggers, #beauty, #makeup, and #lbloggers. I used to love #ootd, but these days it seems that it’s used for everything from outfits to pictures of potatoes or even pets!
How often do you post?
I usually post about once a week. I struggle a bit with this—should I focus solely on blog-related content, or sprinkle in some personal photos as well? Any advice would be appreciated!
How often do you check your Instagram feed?
I check it quite frequently, probably more than I care to admit!
What is your favorite filter?
I generally don’t use filters for my photos. If I’m sharing a picture of a beauty product, I aim for it to look as true to color as possible.
Smartphone purist or rebel?
I typically use my DSLR for photos rather than my phone. I find the results from my phone camera aren’t quite satisfactory. So, even though it’s called “Instagram,” my posts aren’t always instant!
Favorite Instagram account?
There are so many amazing accounts! I love seeing updates from my blogging friends. A standout for me is @oneyeproject, run by Thomas Berger, a nearly blind photographer from Norway who captures breathtaking images of his country. I have come to care about him personally; he and his wife recently welcomed their adorable baby boy after their struggles with infertility. I also enjoy following @natgeo for its captivating photography and @gabbybernstein, whose inspiring posts and affirmations have made a significant impact on my life.
Feel free to follow me on Instagram. I’m tagging anyone who wishes to participate—please leave links to your IG accounts in the comments! A big thank you to Sophie for tagging me!
In conclusion, Instagram has become a vital part of my daily routine, allowing me to connect with friends and discover inspiring content. I hope you’ll join me in sharing and engaging with this vibrant community!
