What goes down once you gain a major following:
Gab: I feel like I’ve always been addicted to my phone, but when there are more comments and action going on I feel like I’m constantly checking
Jules: I expel too much energy taking photos for Instagram and trying to make my feed "aesthetically pleasing." I focus too much on looking at what others are doing, sometimes feeling envious of their lives, instead of focusing on myself.
Nicole: I’m not trying to become a model or public figure or anything. I have Instagram to post photos that bring me happiness, document my life and memories to reminisce on, and to share my thoughts and feeling with other people.
Kendel: Having more followers definitely has made Instagram a more prominent part of my life which has its goods and bads.
Natalie: I have to be more conscious about posting photos when I collaborate with brands.
Lara: Having a following has me emailing back and forth with brands and photographers way more than I would have expected.
Liv: I find myself following more and more influential girls and brands everyday.
Go and give the girls a follow if you haven’t already so you can get inspired by their aesthetically pleasing content, they’ve earned it.
