Recently a couple friends and I scrolled back to our very first Instagrams and could not stop laughing. My first two pictures were of my college roomie and her boyfriend making peace signs and looking apathetic, making fun of the cool kid hipster vibes we got from Instagram. Little did we know, we’d soon be sucked into the world of Insta, checking it a billion times a day and using it to make new friends, connections, and discoveries. Using Instagram for The Blog Market and Earl Grey Creative has been incredibly helpful in building community, finding new favorite blogs and sites, and sharing my work.
