11 Instagram accounts to brighten up your feed

Is your Instagram feed inundated with home cooked meals, brazenly captioned with the hashtag #foodporn? Have you seen at least three photos of a misspelled Starbucks name in the last hour?  Do you follow more than one friend who posts every single picture of her newborn child – the good, the bad and…dare I say it…the ugly?

Instagram is designed to “capture and share the world’s moments”, but when your world is inundated with a few too many photos of green smoothies, it’s time to give your instagram feed a facelift.

Whether you’re an animal lover, a travel bug,  a fashionista or simply a lover of inspiring images, the list below is sure to offer at least one instagram account worth following.

 

#1 gustav_gram

Most people won’t admit that they follow this candid canine, but gustav_gram is truly where it’s at for animal hilarity on instagram. Gustav’s “human” shares some of the best and worst moments in the life of a daschund and anyone who uses the hashtag #fullsoss and #ottomanempire in the same post is, in my opinion, a comedic genius.

 

 #2 glassofwhiskey

Let’s #tbt to the reign of popular television show Breaking Bad and we land on Jesse Pinkman’s (aka Aaron Paul’s) instagram account.   Aside from a peak into the celebrity’s life, his account breaks all the bad habits of couples on Instagram and, you know what? He pulls it off. The star will capture adorable moments with his stunning wife, Lauren Paul, and he always has the sweetest things to say about her.

Follow her account (laurenpaul8) for more #instalove posts from the pair.

 

 #3 betches

If you’re on Instagram, it’s likely that you are following an account just for laughs. Fuckjerry, kanye doing things, Kelly Oxford and the fat jewish are just a few of the most popular feeds to follow for a chuckle (if you don’t already follow these account, do yourself a favour and start to!).  Betches is just another to be added to this list, where nothing is taboo and everything merits a hearty #lol.

 

 #4 greatnorthco

No #iger can turn their nose up to a truly beautiful photo of scenery – and what’s better than a look into our own, great back yard. Sometimes it’s easy to forget what extraordinary beauty can be found in Canada, but greatnorthco is right there to remind you.

 

#5 miss_etc

Miss_etc  follows the life of a perfectly French mademoiselle, living in the Bordeaux wine region. Her account is filled with French flags, croques monsieurs and will either transport you to her European existence or force you to start planning that much needed “vacance”.

 

#6 johanneshuebl

 

Welcome to #ManCrushMonday where every single post on this feed will have you swooning. Not only is Johanne a #babe,  but he’s also married to former reality TV star and fashion icon, Olivia Palermo. His account follows the two as they jet-set around the world looking drop dead fabulous. And, as if they could get any cuter, every Sunday he posts a picture of the couple canoodling with this simple and perfect caption: “Sundays”.

#Sigh.

 

#7 muradosmann

This feed is probably one of the prettiest trips around the world that you’ll ever take. Led by a mystery brunette, you’ll see some of the world’s wildest sights and feel like you’re tagging along for the ride.

 

#8 lapetitenoob

Lapetitenoob is currently vacationing in #Firenze, but usually her posts find her in Ontario’s capital, #Toronto! Expect to find gorgeous shots of flowers, coffee and plenty of #ootd‘s.

 

 

#9 makhorov

 NOT for those who suffer #acrophobia (the fear of heights), Makhorov travels the world, taking shots from roof tops and other precarious ledges, and will lend a sense of perspective to your Instagram feed.

 

 

#10 karlthefog

 

Karlthefog is a San Fran based photographer with a particularly keen eye for taking shots of the Golden Gate Bridge and the city’s low-hanging fog. Follow along for gorgeous shots, but be warned, he uses the hashtag #fogstagram. We think that can be summed up as an #InstaFail.

 

#11 inanutshellca

 

Fashion. Food. Music. Life. inanutshellca has it all.

Follow along as five Canadian girlfriends navigate their mid-20’s,  laughing, learning and embracing every second of the journey.

We promise, it’s #instagood.
