THE INSTAGRAM PROMISE

It's official I'm on Instagram (check it out here). I finally caved. I was holding out, because I knew something so visual would be all too addicting. Unfortunately, I was right.

There are a few things I absolutely hate about Instagram. So here I promise to never ever do them.

1. Coffee pictures (especially name misspellings from Starbucks)

2. Shoe pictures

3. Mirror Selfies

4. Pictures of children (asking for trouble here or any where else on the internet)

5. Pictures from giveaways (I love giveaways, but on instagram? Obnoxious)

I'm curious what are your instagram don'ts? I'm also looking for cool accounts to follow. Have any recommendations?

A BEAUTIFUL MESS

I took this picture today with a completely different result in mind. I'm kind of glad it didn't work the way I planed.

A Day in the Life

Today I have a guest post at my mind's lens.
