soo i have a few. for fashion, I love diet_prada (exposes copycats in the fashion industry) & theladysmaid (british style). for lifestyle and household I love holycitychic (**tw** she features her children). funny is dannypellegrino - tons of housewife and bravo humor. He also has a stellar podcast.
edit to add ANIMAL accounts!! juniperfoxx because she rescues foxes from fur farms! roofusandkilo because she runs an amazing dog rescue and foster home in the PNW and the_blueboys bc dogs in pajamas
I generally don't follow many people/celebs I don't know IRL, BUT... I did start following Jasmine Rae on IG in my quest to be more lazy improve my hair health by washing it less. I have fine, super oily hair and some dandruff, and her method has me down to washing 2x per week. Some day, I would love to get to a full week, but adding the extra day suuuucks so much every time and I feel so gross and dirty until my hair adjusts, so I feel like I'd need to be home for a while in order to get to that point because I don't want to feel gross at work. Something like... oh, I don't know... a maternity leave would be perfect for that!

Oh I love this idea!! I have to say one of the most eye opening things I have done in the last year is follow celebface. It's private (but has 1m followers, so they approve pretty much anyone) and it shows you photoshopping/facetuning on celebs' and influencers' instas. it's been weirdly freeing to see that even these people don't actually look like that lol.
One of my favorite accounts is eholmes - British royal family fashion, I'm obsessed with her SoManyThoughts!!!! (**tw** she candidly speaks about her infertility and IVF journeys and is currently KU)

I’m old. I have FB friends and I follow the local news and my favorite restaurants so I know what’s going on. I don’t think I really use the internet correctly most of the time.
I follow Anna Victoria on IG because somehow I think that will motivate me to exercise more. I mean, yes, I want to look like that. But then I tell myself that if working out was my career, I would look like that - so really, this isn't my fault. 😂
I follow this super cute account about this Japanese couple who dresses alike-- bonpon511. It's basically just photos of this older couple in complementary outfits.
I also follow grittynhl, the official Gritty account, and grittyphilly, an "underground" Gritty account w/ a bunch of memes. Plus all my fave Philly Eagles players & their main account. Despite being terribly un-athletic, I love my Philly sports.
Finally, Russian & Japanese Vogue-- voguerussia & voguejapan. Russia's used to be better than it has been lately & Japan's is still delivering.

@jennifer_louise I LOVE Cake Wrecks! I actually have used some of the misspellings and grammar mistakes as proofreading lessons for my students. It's an example of why you need to pay attention/care about spelling, grammar, and punctuation!
I follow a few Broadway actors (Ginna Claire Mason, Jessica Vosk), the local radio show hosts, The Royal Family (Kensington Palace, Clarence House), Sally's Baking Addiction (also a blog, her recipes are amazing), and a whole bunch of Disney things. I might need to unfollow those because it's just making me sad that I won't be able to make a trip there for a really long time.
Omg @emeraldduchess I'm a fellow Disney addict!!! Who do you follow? I love the Trackers, See Ya Reel Soon, the Happiest Vlogs, and I also follow a ton of maker accounts bc I'm a sucker for ears!

Also an eholmes follower here @mvt2003 ! I think there are more on this board too... TBH her personality irks me a bit personally for reasons that I can't fully explain (probably b/c I'm catty!) but do love her content. Also royal family related... garyjanetti who posts funny pics imagining Prince George as a vindictive little problem child.
Lots of regional accounts -- jackiegreany and newengland_weekender for pretty pics of New England, sunsetmag for the West and katya_jackson for England.
howyouglow -- basically a "How do I get this life??" account. Two girls who travel all over and review "clean" products and makeup. I love their blog too.
universalstandard -- fashion pictures featuring women with all different body types
commentsbycelebs -- screenshots of famous people commenting on each other's posts
Other blogs/websites I read all the time -- Cup of Jo and The Cut.
@whitealbum29 I totally get what you're saying - I love the content but I don't think she and I would be IRL besties. Her explaining dressing for the slideshow has been life changing for me though!! Also, I'm going to follow the New England accounts now!

Oh, and I forgot about The Bloggess! She is absolutely hilarious, and I love that she speaks so openly about anxiety and depression. I also have one of her books, which is hilarious, but also so real.

It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@mvt2003 I follow See Ya Reel Soon too, but I haven't watched their more recent trips on YouTube. I think their big two-week Fort Wilderness extravaganza was the last one I watched all the way through. I also follow the Disney Food Blog because Disney food is delicious. Right now I would do just about anything for a Dole Whip float or a Mickey waffle. FF Tuesday confession: Sometimes I play Disney Park music loops while I work on my lesson plans on Friday afternoons.
I’m old. I have FB friends and I follow the local news and my favorite restaurants so I know what’s going on. I don’t think I really use the internet correctly most of the time.
Ditto! I feel like this thread is teaching me about life haha
@mercury94 a few years ago I had to tell a new employee that he couldn't talk to clients on snapchat. We work in finance. Why... what... how... Right there with you!
Okay, so had to come back here to say a friend just told me about this group yesterday, and it's making my life right now. Everyone on it pretends to be a baby boomer, and it's amazing.
@shamrocandroll omg....I haven't even been accepted to the group yet and I'm already wondering if there's a way someone could make a TV show out of this somehow?? or a movie?? please???? I hope I get accepted, I answered all the questions!! This seems like a good thing to focus my anxiety on today hahaha
@emeraldduchess Ohhhhh I want a Dole Whip so much right now. Also, I compulsively listen to a spotify playlist that has the theme songs for all of the disney parks AND rides in correct order (starting in Adventureland and moving through all the way to Tomorrowland). It's so soothing.

@mvt2003@emeraldduchess I have two local places that claim to make a Dole whip near me. Definitely on the summer bucket list!!!

@emeraldduchess and @mvt2003 fellow Disney addict here! I’m actually going in 9 days. I can not wait! I’m so glad you both mentioned more Disney things you follow, so I have more to follow now.
@NYTino24 dole whip is amazing! In the parks, there are places you can get them rum topped.
