Instagram. What does that word mean to you? It hasn't been added to the dictionary YET but I can definitely see it being an addition in the near future! The growth of Instagram has been absolutely phenomenal and it has secured a comfortable seat (front row) at the world of social media. JUST in case you don't know, Instagram is an online photo-sharing and social networking service. It allows users to take pictures (in the 1:1 square format), apply filters to the pics and then share them with the world!
I actually first got Instagram two/three years ago when it first came out! I got my first iPhone nearly 4 years ago (yes I've had iPhone 3GS to 4S to 5, awkward) and was completely OBSESSED with downloading apps, just like everyone is when they first get their iPhones. So I literally downloaded any app that looked interesting and had pages of apps most of which I didn't even use.. well until my memory out. AWKS.
So when I first made Instagram, I was just posting away for months thinking it was just another photo editing app with cool easy filters but then when I got lots people following me, I was like whoaaa omg all these people can see these CRINGE pictures of me so I made it "Private" and used the account just to save pictures like behind the scenes of blog shoots, silly pictures of me etc you know those pictures that are just so embarrassing but you don't wanna let go of? Haha I LOVE memories and instagram was just an amazing photo diary opportunity! Weeks ago I decided I wanted to finally join in with all the blogger Instagram fun PUBLICLY! Everything from instagramming food to hair to fashion but after a series of Instagram account name changes (to save 'memory' account) to making a new account (to use original name) there seemed to be a problem. The new account was created with the original username but whenever anyone searched for the username, it kept coming up as "no users found" - I was reluctant to start actively posting just in case I had to delete the account and start all over.
To cut a long story short, I had major technical difficulties with my old (VERY old, I'm taking OG!) Instagram name that I just decided to make a fresh one - it's now @JENNIFERAGWUNOBI which is my name, in case you didn't know :) I only have a few pics right now but now that I am sure that my username works I will start uploading an unhealthy amount (e.g. the 'memory' account has over a thousand photos) - look out for these :)
