"Finding Joy in Your Feed: My Favorite Instagram Creators for Fashion, Laughs, and Everyday Escapes"
The internet can be a chaotic (and scary.) place, with endless scrolling sometimes leading to more stress than inspiration. That’s why I’m excited to share some of my favorite Instagram content creators who consistently bring a smile to my face. This isn’t a comprehensive list, but I selected some accounts that are a breath of fresh air amid the noise. Whether it’s a dose of fashion inspiration, relatable parenting humor, clever life hacks, or just pure doggy joy, these creators offer a daily escape from the conflict-heavy side of the internet. Let’s dive into the accounts that brighten my feed and keep things light!
Comedic Relief
@meghanlynncontent: I just love Megahn. Her southern wit, her beauty (inside and out), and her openness about her faith is not only entertaining, but endearing. Her skits make me laugh out loud every single time and make me wish I had a southern accent. Also… can we talk about the perfection that is her hair? Yes please.
@charlesmccabe: I swear this man creates content that we all think inside our heads, but has the gusto to say out loud. And I pass away every time I see a post. His ability to create the most epic of analogies, state the obvious, and leave the viewer 100% happier than they were before stumbling on his content is worth a standing ovation.
Fashion
@nataliekennedyblog: Natalie exudes pure joy in the most genuine of ways. Her ability to pick out the most delightful fashion that is both age appropriate and fashion forward is superb. In addition to fashion, Natalie shares a detailed look at a journey to improving her health by way of lifestyle changes and habits. I can confirm that what she suggests is always a score. I discovered Primaly Pure and Branch Basics because of her and have not looked back. Seeing how far she’s come in her health journey is so inspring and has helped me move forward along mine as well.
@itsamandaroe: I dont know where to start with Amanda’s account other than… It’s f’ing bomb. While developing my own personal style (a blog for another day!) I stumbled upon one of her reels and was INSTANTLY hooked. Her eye is impeccable and always picks the best pieces at the right prices. Amanda’s style is perfection for a millenial mom (hi, it’s me) that is looking to feel confident, comfortable, and put together. Exactly what I’ve been working on over the past year. Moreover, she’s just adorable and seems like someone you just want to have a coffee or an aperol spritz with.
@lydiamillen: Holy goals, Batman. In my opinion, Lydia should be THE British fashion icon. While quite out of my price range, I simply cannot help but drool at the looks she puts together, the content she creates, and the beauty that are her surroundings. Classically on-trend, while at the same time effortless… her page is my fashion goals. Lydia is also very open about the importance of mental health awareness and shares wonderful reminders that taking care of yourself should be of priority. I just love her account and her content.
Dogs (and other creatures.)
What’s an instagram feed without funny animal videos? Shameful.
@thegoodhypeofficial: Stop what you’re doing and follow this account. Do it. Why are you still reading? GO. Thank you. I cannot get enough of this content- truly. I could literally watch them bath dogs all day on repeat. It is SUCH endearing content that consistently brings a smile to my face. It’s one of those accounts where I’ll share every new video with at least two of my friends that are fellow-animal lovers. Bonus points- they have 16 dogs that are all adopted and also foster. (!!!) Talk about genuine love of animals and good human beings.
@openlygayanimals: This has to be one of the most popular accounts I follow and for good reason. Consistently providing animal videos/posts that make me bust out laughing, this account is perfection. From voice-over videos to simple animal-themed dadjokes, what fun this account is. If you’re already a follower like me, you know it’s a staple for anyone’s feed. And if you’re not, this is your sign to do so. You’re welcome.
Lifestyle
@brunchwithbabs: This account. THIS ACCOUNT. Just yes, all the yes. Babs is the bonus grandma/ mom we all need in our lives. Not only is she adorable, but so is her marriage. She (and Mr. Babs) share the most wonderful life-hacks, recipes, and tips that give you the warmest, most cozy of vibes. It feels like coming home when you’re going through her content. Bonus Tip: Her cookbook is FABULOUS.
@jillcomesclean: An Amazon Addict’s dream- Jill shares superb cleaning tips, satisfying before and afters, and gadgets everyone 100% needs in their life. Her love of all-things-pink is adorable, but if pink is not your thing- fear not! Everything she suggests can be purchased in other (more boring.) colors. My shower is sparkling because of Jill’s tips and my amazon cart is consistently full (much to my wallet’s shagrin). Follow Jill for her adorable personality and motivation to tidy with a smile.
Parenting
@supportingchaos: Started by an acquantance of mine and her sister, this account is for every mom looking to be heard and seen. They are absolutely hysterical, beautiful, and real. Their ability to create content that hits the nail on the head for every mom in almost every aspect of life- from marriage, to having multiple kids, to having one kid, to pregnancy, to loss. They are the gold standard for what mom-content should be about. My favorite aspect, is that these women are just as quick to share the positive as they are the realities of the daily grind, which is so important for mom’s to see. I just love Sammy & Gracie so much.
@safeintheseat: I stumbled upon this account way back when I was trying to determine what type of carseat I should get our about-to-be-born kid. She raises awareness of a multitude of child-safety factors (besides carseats) that I never would have known had I not followed her content. Even though my daughter is no longer an infant (queue my mom tears), I still follow and check this account regularly to ensure that the choices I’m making for a growing toddler align with the right safety procedures.
And here you have it folks- a short list of my top-favorite accounts on instagram. I hope you found some new content to add into your life that lightens the load, provides an escape, and maybe even teaches you a thing or two.
Let’s keep the conversation going though! Who are some must-have accounts on your feed? Leave them in the comments below!
And remember-
You’re Doing Great,
Samantha
