4th of July photos that need to stop appearing on instagram

In This Article:

We love our country. We appreciate our country. But we don't need to see the same basic photos each year on this special holiday.

The Sparkler Picture

Sparkler Photo

Everyone knows the basic sparkler photo of a girl and her friends decked out in american flag apparel and sparklers in each hand. This content is usually posted as either a still shot or a boomerang... either way it is long past it's date of needed to be posted.

The Whole Hour Of Firework Display

Firework Show

We get it. You are watching the ever famous firework show that is only held on the 4th of July. Instead of adding the whole hour or so show on your feed, stick with 1 or 2 photos of the light show. We all are watching fireworks and we don't really need to see it all over social media.

Using An Inflatable For A Prop

This is a trendy move, but we know the only reason you are posing with the tube is to show off your beach bod. This move is B-A-S-I-C. Show off your pride to the troops and the US, not your curves.

Wrap Yourself In A Flag

Flag Portrait

This photo op has been done a handful of times. This is posed alone or with with a group holding the flag. We love the patriotism but the basic pose is passed it's time.


Us as Americans, we love our holidays, and when it comes to celebrating them we go over and beyond for 4th of July. Just get a bit more creative this year with your instagrams! Maybe go for a pet photo that you dressed all in red, white, and blue! Or just stick to a classic of posing with a baby; that'll get 'em!

Happy 4th of July!! God Bless America! Stay safe this holiday!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
