Okay so, I am a self confessed IG addict! I buy shit, or go places, or whatever just for IG but in this day and age, we are all a bit guilty of it! Here is my list of pointless (some not so pointless) crap I have bought purely for instragramable purposes over the last few months…
That embroidered zara blouse
Zoflora
Eames table and chairs for the kitchen
About 29 coffees and cakes last year [would have saved me lbs not just ££ also]
That hobbycraft tipi
£20 a roll wallpaper for Nora’s nursery [it’s still super cute though and I love it]
A lightbox [Nora ate half the fucking letters anyway]
Mustard yellow curtains
About 7 Katie Loxton clutches
Fake plants from Ikea [v IG worthy]
A tula [well actually my dad bought this, sorry Gary]
The book with no pictures [biggest disappointment since High School Musical 3]
Lush bath bombs [why on earth do babies need bathbombs???]
About 50 bunches of flowers [to be fair to myself, I bloody love flowers]
That pineapple a few weeks back
Method cleaning shit [grateful for this one though cos I bloody love cleaning now]
Jam jar cups, they’re a bitch to hold
The unmumsy mum [ok I’m glad I bought this but I’ve never read a fucking book in my life]
About 5 tanks of petrol to drive places to take bloody pictures [admit it, we’ve all done that]
Baby moccs, twenty quid and she refused to wear them fs
A juicer [pics of green shakes make me feel like my life is in order]
Pancakes when I’ve been out for breakfast [sometimes you just need a fry up but ain’t nothing IG worthy about bean juice overflowing your plate]
Mama & Dada bracelets
Avocado [I don’t even like it but #basic]
Starbucks coffee [Coffee makes me shit my pants basically but yea, anything for a cute pic obviously]
I’m sure the list will grow and grow and grow but you know what, I don’t mind!! I feel like now if i’m out, or even in the house, I actually see things now and I enjoy taking pictures. I appreciate things for what they are a little more. So yeah, embrace your #instasplurges. No shame over here!
