How I am Celebrating After Hitting 10K on Instagram

Y’all, I cannot believe it! I finally hit over 10K on Instagram a few weeks ago and I could not be more excited! If you remember, I shared in my 2019 Year in Review post, that I was hoping to hit 10K by the end of February and I am so happy that I accomplished my goal before then!

I know it’s not all about the numbers, but it feels so good when you reach a goal you have been waiting for after a long time of aiming towards it! So today I thought I would share with you all how I am celebrating after hitting 10K on Instagram.

I was most excited to hit 10K because now in my Instagram stories, I am able to use the swipe up feature which I think will help my blog views tremendously. It’s so much easier to share a new post when you can link it directly!

So you may be asking how exactly am I celebrating after hitting such a milestone? Well, the answer is simple, I am celebrating by giving back to you- my wonderful subscribers and followers!

I have teamed up with some of my favorite small shops and we are all working together to bring you an ultimate giveaway full of goodies. And I have worked with all these shops in the past so I know their quality of products are amazing.

I would not want to give away anything less to y’all! So you may be wondering how can I be entered into winning this so called amazing giveaway?? Keep on reading because I will give you all the details below. But you better hurry because it is only open for a short period of time!!

  • Shop credit to Hidden Valley Farmhouse for one FREE handmade felt garland of your choice (I was a brand rep for her last year and received so many beautiful garlands. They are perfect for styling anywhere in your home!)
  • Starbucks gift card from yours truly!

Basically, this giveaway is the perfect start for you to create a beautiful vignette or tiered tray in your home! It will give you everything you need and plus since it’s all store credit, you can shop for exactly what you want!

How I Am Celebrating After Hitting 10K on Instagram

And I just also want to say, thank you so much for all of your support and love on my Instagram. I really appreciate all the follows, comments, and likes; and I really do read each one and try to respond to everything.

Maybe one of these days I’ll be able to celebrate hitting 10K followers on my blog too. That would be a major celebration! Well, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and again, I am so thankful for each and every one of you!

      Awe you will get there too! It just takes time. My tips are to always engage and figure out the best hashtags to use for your niche. Use some large and small hashtags that way your picture has a higher chance of being seen. And follow people similar to your niche and comment on their photos too. I try to share at least 5 times a week too so I try to stay pretty consistent with it. But, I started off on Instagram first before my blog so Instagram comes much more easily to me than my blog does. I am still pretty confused when it comes to the blogging world lol
