Emma - The Bravest Individual

10 people who have to follow on Instagram

I have such a love/hate relationship with instagram, and towards the end of last year I took some steps to improve my state of mind towards it. I unfollowed some, I followed more of those whose photos I really appreciate and interest me and I've taken a step back from feeling the need to post just because I haven't in a day or two.

Here are some of my favourite accounts that I'd highly recommend following.

Acurvyvegan
Amie has such beautiful shots of beauty products, food and general lifestyle. I absolutely love the flat lays and you can definitely see the effort in the outcomes of the photos.

Imiimace

I am a sucker for cosy shots and Imii's content is very homely, calming and relatable.

Winyeemichelle

Michelle's someone I've been following for ages now and I absolutely love her photos, the cafe and coffee shots are so pretty.

ohsomint

If you are after interior inspiration then Chelsea-Scarlett's account is for you. I absolutely love how she decorates her house and I'm often saving her pics in my house collection!

rushandteal

The ultimate instagram theme, Allie's account is absolutely stunning and can make just a simple picture of the sky match beautifully to her account. I'm in awe of how simple and well put together her photos are.

dorkfaceblog

If you love colour and bright photos then Jemma has you covered. I love the mix of her daily life, behind the scenes of her art and general brightness and attitude!

Rhiannaoliviab

Again, Rhianna's account is the epitome of cosiness and homely. I love the general theme of her account and her photos are beautiful, especially the doodle touches!

thewifeedit

Amy's account is absolutely gorgeous and I love the mix of fashion, lifestyle and beauty shots.

Lauzrah

I was shocked to found that Laura doesn't have nearly as many followers as I thought as her insta is absolutely beautiful! I love her beauty shots and the general pink touch theme on the account.

hellomissjordan

Jordan's account is simply beautiful and every photo looks like a full on photo shoot. She finds the best locations and looks like an absolute princess.

Who are your favourites on instagram? I'm always looking to follow more so I'll be checking out your recommendations!

Reasons why I'll unfollow you

In the blogging community it's all about support, motivation for each other and sometimes pretending to be someone else's best friend for 5 minutes so you'll hopefully get a follow back. However sometimes you just need to have a little spring clean of who you are following, and please let me make this clear, it's not personal. Here are the honest reasons why I'll unfollow you.

You haven't posted in ages

Now I know I'm probably a little hypocritical of this because my blog has had some breaks and then I've come back, however once or twice a year I'll do a little spring clean, and if you've not posted on your blog in a year, your insta in several months then I'll click unfollow. If you do come back then I'll probably find a post and refollow, but until then it's just the way it is.

Your content has changed/doesn't interest me

I'm all about change and moving forward, progressing with your life and changing your content as you grow. It's a really good habit and a good place to be if you can do different topics and do them well, however sometimes the change in your life doesn't interest me in a way that I want to keep reading.

A big example of this is parenting blogs which at first were beauty/lifestyle blogs. I'm super happy for you and of course you now have other priorities and topics you want to discuss, but I don't have or plan on having children and therefore if thats all you post then it's just not for me anymore.

You make me unhappy

This mainly applies to instagram, and it's something I noticed last summer and knew it had to change. Basically, I was seeing all these amazing bikini's, on the beach with a tan and legs for days and I was feeling self conscious and upset. Of course I'm happy for you to get to go on holiday and you've worked hard for that body, but it doesn't make me happy and possibly a dash of jealousy mixed in, so I unfollowed.

If you are self conscious or noticing your mood has been low because you are on insta seeing the snippets of other peoples lives then I'd recommend the same. It's not personal and there's been many articles about how bad instagram can be for this, so I'd highly recommend doing the best for you.
