If I had a dollar for every time throughout the day that I checked my Instagram feed, I would probably have enough money to buy everything that's currently on my Pinterest wish-list. But sadly, I am not paid for the time I spend on this mega-popular social media platform. Things I do get from my scrolling through post after post on Instagram are lots of humor and inspiration. Instagram can be extremely beneficial to your personal life, inspiring you to live creatively and to take on new adventures. In no particular order, I've rounded up 15 of my all-time favorite Instagram accounts that every 20-something girl should be following—guaranteed lol-ing and positive vibes.
1. Glitter Guide (@glitterguide)
From beauty to food to features of different fashion ideas, Glitter Guide is perfect for anyone who likes staying up to date on the latest trends.
2. Buzzfeed (@buzzfeed)
If you're the kind of person who finds yourself constantly clicking on Facebook friends' shared articles, you definitely want Buzzfeed's humorous memes in your Instagram feed.
3. Shay Mitchell (@shaym)
You know her as Emily from ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars," but take one look at her IG account and you'll see that acting is just a one part of Shay's glamorous, yet relatable, life.
4. OhYeahDisney (@ohyeahdisney)
CALLING ALL DISNEY FANATICS! The adorable couple behind OhYeahDisney will have you wanting to plan your next Walt Disney World vacation immediately. Here's to never growing up...
5. Julia Engel (@juliahengel)
This blogger's effortless and feminine style transfers directly into her many lifestyle and travel-related posts. Whether she's exploring Machu Picchu, brunching, or sharing her latest looks, Julia's IG posts never disappoint.
6. The Lala (@followthelala)
Their bio reads, "The leading voice online for kickass college girls." Enough said. The Lala is an essential IG account for any college girl or young woman. Pineapples, inspirational quotes, and fun photos—what more could you ask for on IG?
7. Gloria Atanmo (@glographics)
This account is for anyone who dreams of traveling the world. Gloria bought a one-way plane ticket to Europe in 2013 and has yet to return to the U.S. She shares her breathtaking photos from 26 countries (and counting) in a refreshing and honest way. Not to mention, her captions are always on point!
8. Elite Daily (@elitedaily)
This is a great account for all Millennials. LOL-worthy memes, not-so-basic food posts, and the occasional travel picture are all reasons to follow Elite Daily's Insta account, and not just their mind-opening articles you always see on Facebook.
9. Food In The Air (@foodintheair)
To describe this account in one sentence: Mouth-watering pictures of people holding food in various, beautiful places around the world. It'll have your wanderlust-self jealous and your stomach rumbling all at once.
10. LaurenConrad.com (@laurenconrad_com)
For the fashionista and anyone who was a fan of MTV's "The Hills." It's no surprise that the account for Lauren Conrad's lifestyle website is just as flawless as LC herself.
11. The Every Girl (@theeverygirl_)
Their website being ranked by Forbes as a "Top 100 Website for Women" is just one out of many reasons to click the "Follow" button on this one. Career advice, cute decor ideas, and the *perfect* donut grams are a few things you'll find in your feed with The Every Girl.
12. Sarah Vickers (@sarahkjp) and Kiel James Patrick (@kjp)
These two are living the ULTIMATE dream of a life. Sarah and Kiel dress well, travel often, and are basically the equivalent of #relationshipgoals.
13. The Basic Bitch Life (@thebasicbitchlife)
Finally, an Instagram account that makes you feel better about having no clue how to "adult." Their content will constantly have you taking screen shots to text to your closest girlfriends.
14. Nike Women (@nikewomen)
Everyone needs some fitness motivation, right?! Nike's account focused toward empowering women to be strong and fit will make you want to get some gym time... or have you going to the nearest sporting goods store to purchase yet another pair of "Norts."
15. Refinery 29 (@refinery29)
Creative, girl-empowering, and current are a couple words to describe this IG account. Following them is the perfect way to stay informed about all things fashion, pop culture, and FUN!
