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!!
What You Will Win:
If you’re chosen as my lucky winner, here is everything that you will receive:
- $30 shop credit to Ebenezer Markets (they make some high-quality and beautiful farmhouse signs!)
- $25 shop credit to Crafty Home by Missy (she makes the cutest little decor items, perfect for vignettes and tiered trays!)
- $25 shop credit to Modern Forestry Candles (Y’all have heard me talk about these amazing candles before, and I always recommend the Coffeehouse scent because it is to die for!)
- 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!

Congrats on 10k! That is quite a feat!

Adam says
Cool giveaway. I’ve only got as far as downloading the instagram app, I really should get around to sorting it out.
Charity Gentry says
You should! It’s been really fun for me. I actually started out on Instagram first though and then decided to do a blog later.
Daisy says
WOO!! Congrats, lovely!! That’s such a massive goal! I’m not even at my first 1K yet. Any tips? Haha!

Charity Gentry says
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
Tiffany says
Oh my gosh! Congrats on hitting 10k! I sure hope one day I can reach that milestone too! And oh my gosh all this decor! 😱😱 I want it all! That coffee sign is my favorite though! Definitely going to have get one of those soon!
Charity Gentry says
I am sure you will hit it soon too! It just takes some time! And thank you! I love that coffee sign too. It’s so true!
Freya says
Hi this is amazing, well done! I am a very new blogger and that milestone seems very very far away lol. When did you start your blog? It looks really amazing. I love your colors.
Charity Gentry says
Thank you so much! I actually started my Instagram first and then decided to do a blog. I have been on Instagram for a little over a year now and I just started my blog back in the Fall of last year. I am still pretty new to blogging myself and I am trying to learn it as I go!
Sophie says
Massive congratulations on reaching such a big milestone! I haven’t posted on Instagram since September so I’ve lost quite a few followers (understandably) in the last few months. I should really start posting again soon. Enjoy the swipe up feature!! x

Charity Gentry says

Oh my gosh, congratulations! I didn’t realize that 10k was required to be able to use the Swipe Up feature, haha. But anyway, you definitely deserve this, you’ve got amazing photos girl! It was super nice of you to hold a giveaway too!
Charity Gentry says
Awe thank you so much! I really appreciate your sweet words! And I honestly didn’t know you needed 10K for the swipe up feature at first either. I had to Google why I didn’t have it lol
