20+ Instagram Accounts That Makes Us Laugh and Make Us Smarter
As a creative, I spend a ton of time searching Instagram for inspiration. From my twisted best friends, to my adventurous little brothers, to my favorite boutique owners, I’ve always got a new account recommendation, too. I’ve compiled my favorite accounts for humor, fashion, lifestyle, and more right here. On Mondays, I post a few of my favorites on my Instagram Stories. Along with the regular Monday drop, here is another place you can check in case you missed them or are looking for more. This post will continue to grow as I find more so be sure to keep checking back for inspiration!
