I can’t believe I’ve made it to Day 29 of 31 for this challenge and today’s theme is Instagram. Whilst I share the Seaside Sparkles name on my Instagram account, there’s no link with the blog and my Instagram account and its a medium I am not really sure on how to use it best. My byline is photos for inspiration, creativity and reflection. Honestly it’s not as pretentious as it sounds it’s just when you can’t post photos to identify your family or location, your content is limited and I don’t think I’ve posted much since I did some photos of our elf on the shelf last Christmas (I’ve just checked, one regram this year to try and win a prize) I also don’t get the hashtags, some people post tens of hashtags with each photo and it all seems a bit too much fuss.
However whilst I post little on Instagram I do follow some great accounts for my hobbies and interests. My biggest theme on my follows is cake decorating, there are some seriously talented bakers on Instagram. I also like crafting accounts and get lots of inspiration and ideas from Instagram. I follow a few fashion accounts and home interiors too. I like scrolling through my Instagram feed as it’s fun, colourful and relaxing and we all need that in our life!
I don’t take Instagram seriously….I just take random photos of what’s going on here. I will only use hashtags if they’re obvious. Like the pumpkins we carved I said #halloween. I ain’t got time to be adding loads. lol
