We’re doing things a little differently this Wednesday. Instead of my random assortment of links, I’m linking up with The B Bar’s February post round up.

Who are three of your favorite people to follow on Instagram, and why?

Before I share my favorite accounts, I do have a little rant to make about Instagram. Many of the reasons I love social media (Twitter and Snapchat in particular) is how real the posts are. I love commentary that is raw, unedited – even if I don’t necessarily agree with the opinion of the author.

Instagram, to me, feels anything but authentic. The most popular pictures are carefully staged, edited, and hashtagged up the wazoo. I’m guilty of all three of these qualities. And after seeing consistent growth in my Instagram following, I won’t stop doing it.

Still – I loathe myself a little bit for succumbing to it.

Why do I love following the three accounts below? All have an authenticity that’s lacking in our Instagram feeds, without sacrificing beauty or inspiration in their photos and videos.

NASA

If I could wallpaper my home with NASA’s Instagram feed, I would.

Space is beautiful, you guys. Absolutely stunning. And really cool (both literally and figuratively).

NASA’s daily updates are a treat for your eyes and your brain. Each awe-inspiring image is accompanied with an informative, easy-to-read caption that teaches you a little bit about this amazing universe we live in.

Go follow NASA right now. 2.3 million followers can’t be wrong.

Hannah Bronfman

Tech entrepreneur. DJ. And her fitness routine rivals that of professional athletes.

You want to hate Hannah Bronfman, but you can’t. She’s just that cool.

Because of her feed, I’ve discovered healthy recipes, new workout moves, and Beyoncé dance classes.

AKA my post-baby back in shape routine.

Miroslava Duma

Another HBIC, Mira Duma is a mother, an entrepreneur, and a style icon. And Russian. (we all know how I feel about Russia…)

This woman WORKS. And looks amazing while running her websites, agency, restaurant, and global businesses.

She’s also the master of posting poignant shots of her children without revealing too much. (Mira – a post about this in Buro 24/7, please?)

And if you need another person to follow on Instagram, you can always follow me ;)
