I used to always make fun of girls who would take a million pictures of their food in restaurants and post them or make sure their flash was on in dark restaurants just to get the best quality picture. But then one day I realized I was one of those girls.

A foodie is described as a person with a particular interest in food. I always have loved trying new foods and new restaurants and would be always be sending them snap chats of my food to my friends. They kept telling me for two years to make a food instagram, but I always declined and said I wouldn’t do it. Until this summer, I came up with the instagram name: foodie wap, which turned in @foodie_wap (hmu on Instagram).

I figured it was finally time for me to make a food insta. I had a great username that described me and my love for fun and food. I got great responds from my posts and my followers. Even got reposts from many food blogs in Tuscaloosa and even in my hometown, Cincinnati.

Now onto to the big question: why should you become a foodie? In my opinion, it’s a great way to broaden your horizon and try all different kinds of food and restaurants. So many of my friends send me pictures of there foods from California, New York, D.C, you know it and I probably have a foodie picture from the location.

Also if you're like me, being a Public Relations major, we work with social media a lot so this is helped to give me a hand on how to brand restaurants and how to pull in my audience. So its something to do in my free time, and also hopefully a new tool that I can bring into my working experience one day. Now, next time you're eating you may be thinking of a clever caption or a cool picture to take, and hey if you do you can dm it over to @foodie_wap or even make your own foodie Instagram!
