How To Have A Nice Instagram Feed

I want to share 2 things with you.. The first being, HOW TO HAVE A NICE INSTAGRAM FEED and the second? HOW TO GROW ON INSTAGRAM NATURALLY.  Well, I know I don't have the biggest following at the moment, because this is a " new " Instagram account, but I had nearly 10k followers on my old account. 

Unfortunately though, I got hacked and had to start over. But I'm going to share with you some tips on how to have a nice feed and grow NATURALLY. Keep in mind, that this is what I do and what I think helps me. 

1 - Organize your FEED 

I think this is very important, especially if you're trying to be an influencer, or whatever it is. If you take your instagram seriously and want to use it as a platform to share your work and passion. You can, of course create a private account to post whatever it is that you want, so you wouldn't need to worry about keeping a presentable profile. At least that's how I feel. If you want more followers, if you want to get sponsored by brands... Then having an organized feed is KEY!


   This is my current MAIN Instagram account I use to promote
  my brand, passions, and just whatever it is I want. As long as I    keep it organized and presentable.
                                                          
                Click here to follow me btw LOL 

As you can see.. It's not perfect, but I do my best to keep the colors similar.. It's much more attractive to brands and such. Also, it is more likely for people to follow you if they click on your profile and
see how organized your posts are. (Especially if you use hashtags ) Which brings me to tip number 2.

2 - HASHTAGS 

I know many people say hashtags don't work... But believe me, they do! Especially now, more than ever. It is more likely for people who follow a certain hashtag you're using to see your post than it is for someone who follows you... YES! That's right! That's exactly why some people share their post to their story, just to make sure their followers know they posted something, because unfortunately, Instagram won't always show it to them, at least not for a while. What I do is, I have a little list of hashtags I like the most and that have something to do with my brand on my notes and then when I post something, all I have to do is post it as a comment. And that's pretty much it! Believe me, I have gained so many followers ever since I started doing that. 






3 - CONSISTENCY 

This is very important! I post so much I think I annoy people sometimes ( the ones I know in real life) BUUUUT that's actually very helpful! It puts your content out there and brings you more followers who will stick around more often than not! Especially if you followed tips 1 & 2. Of course, don't post 4, 5 pictures in 24 hours. But at least one or two a day will help you tremendously!
                      





4 - GROW ON INSTAGRAM FAST & NATURALLY NOW!

So there's this platform called UPLEAP that will help you tremendously! If you follow all the tips I just shared with you you're already good to go.. But if you add this last one as well! Then success is guaranteed! So many people use it and have their Instagram account grow faster than anything else!  
The good thing is that the first month is free and you can cancel at anytime. Click here to sign up and start growing faster than you have ever imagined and come back here to tell me all about it! 












FIND YOURSELF!

Hi babies! We've been home for too damn much, haven't we?! Honestly... I can't complain, I  see this as a blessing in disguise - Don't get me wrong, I lost my job myself.. But sometimes, ( according to what I believe, ALWAYS ) things happen to us that might seem bad in the moment, but then they turn out to be a GREAT thing. I have had time to know myself and learn how to figure everything out on my own! Not that I didn't do that before.. But now, I am much more STRONGER. I've been more creative, ( OF COURSE NOT EVERYDAY, I'VE HAD MY MOMENTS DURING THIS CRAZY TIME ) and free! 


This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to focus on yourself 100% ! Take online classes, improve your skills, take care of your physical and mental health! MEDITATE! I can not stress this enough! The power of meditation is insane! Just give it a try for at least 21 days and you'll start seeing a positive change in your life and the way you see the world. What makes you happy? What sets your soul on fire? whatever it is.... Do more of that! JUST DO IT.  Listen to your heart, your soul! Everything's going to be okay. More than okay! 

If you're interested in learning new skills, there's a lot of amazing videos on Youtube for pretty much ANYTHING. There's also this great website that I absolutely love! Known as Skillshare - It will have the best classes for anything you want! You name it! Great teachers who will explain everything to you step by step! 
The good thing is that you can try it out for free to see if you're going to like it.. ( which I'm sure you will )  Trust me!


 That being said, I'm wishing you all an amazing day! Stay true to yourself! xoxo

The Art Of Creating

I've always loved creating! I like to show that through my social media, instagram in particular.. Sometimes I try to keep a theme on my feed - Like messing with the colors of my pictures to make them all kind of match???




HAHAH I don't know if that made any sense, but yeah. Creating is what I was born to do! I think art is something we really should try and bring more into our day to day life. Art is all around! I used to draw a lot, like years ago.. Not THAT long. But I find it so relaxing and you get into this FLOW state, which is the perfect state to be in if you want to manifest the life of your dreams. It's just being in the moment. 
Here's some of my drawings




Creepy, of course! HAHA Well, I know I'm not the best at that.. but I really want to invest more time in it. Investing in your passions is always ALWAYS worth it. There are MILLIONS of ways to do that. Free, paid.. so many great creators who dedicate their time to make you, me a better creator. Here's a class I think is worth investing in... 


And if your'e into " manga/anime" art style.. like most people I know, then this one is for you..


Make sure you always bring art to your day to day life. It will make everything much more magical!

Joan Of Arc - Scary Paranormal Game

I thought I'd bring you guys a paranormal game you probably never heard of before.. 
Back in the day,  the kids in my school would play this all the time - I personally never played it because well, I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to messing with forces I don't understand... Maybe someday I'll try this and many other paranormal games.  This is just a game that was probably made up by kids in school who wanted to scare the hell out of each other. We can never be sure though. I just want to say that I don't mean any disrespect.. And again I'm saying... This is just a game! 


PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL, AND IF YOU'RE A CHILD, MAKE SURE YOUR PARENTS KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING... AND DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. 




Well,  if you want to know who she was... CLICK HERE
So, she was burnt at the stake for a crime she did not commit.


                                                                         THE GAME


Legend has it that after dying for something she did not do, her spirit was not happy..
as the days passed she would only get more and more angry. Until one day... 
She decided to take revenge! The one who burned her shall pay... 
It is said that if you stare in the mirror after midnight... for a while holding a candle and
saying " I killed Joan of Arc " over 3 times... Her angry spirit will appear in the mirror and burn you to death! Other versions say that she will actually drag you to hell, so you can burn for eternity.



My friend actually played it.. check it out!




                                                                      RULES


- YOU MUST BE ALL ALONE

- YOU MUST BE HOLDING A CANDLE IN ONE HAND

- POUR SOME ALCOHOL ( NOT TOO MUCH ) ON A PIECE OF COTTON
AND HOLD IT IN THE OTHER HAND ( BE VERY VERY CAREFUL )

- IF SHE HAPPENS TO APPEAR TO YOU.... BLOW OUT THE CANDLE IMMEDIATELY,  AND THROW IT AWAY....  


So, would you play this game?! Would you risk facing her wrath?! If so.. Let me know! I'd love to hear from you.

A Girl Who Loves Creating Stuff...


Youtube has been a little crazy lately.. I can't deny that, but also I can't complain! I'm so extremely grateful for this platform and I'm just glad I can share my creations, something I absolutely love doing with everyone. It's amazing! It's pure dopamine!!! The feeling I get when I'm planning a video.. filming, editing.. And I just love it! I love creating stuff!!! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I created a new channel.. and this one really is kind of like a "diary" because I share things that I do.. The makeup looks I wear... vlogs, just whatever! It's a channel about everything. I wanna share what I know with you all. When I first created my channel, it wasn't supposed to be a horror channel, I was planning on only talking about horror things once a week. But then, it slowly became a horror channel, so I didn't feel comfortable enough posting makeup tutorials and other types of videos there. So that's pretty much all I had to say..  CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE <3
 I'm also going to try posting more on here, because I just love having a blog as well!!! hahah STAY TUNED <3
