It's been a good exercise for me to share photos of our home. I find it helps me really critique our space and decide what I really like and want to display in each room. <br /><br />Carry on <3Bethany Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431564484889062401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315007482820618767.post-54077746242154747462016-05-27T06:53:00.697-07:002016-05-27T06:53:00.697-07:00Thank you for reading it Bethany! :) I think even ...Thank you for reading it Bethany! :) I think even without social media we'd already be comparing ourselves, especially since we live in a more individualistic society. But I think I can oftentimes become a little more aware of it when I'm on instagram. But I think it's healthy to always be aware of our motives to keep them in check and to be able to enjoy the opportunities and connections this online world brings. There truly is so much to gain and give when we focus on it in a more positive light. By the way, I have enjoyed seeing your latest home design posts. Your place is coming together so nicely. :) Esther Pulcipherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713572787499605573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315007482820618767.post-81029514817495925822016-05-27T06:44:22.178-07:002016-05-27T06:44:22.178-07:00I agree with you so much.

It is a wonderful idea. My husband does not use his Instagram, but he knows I really want to go to France, so almost every day I show him at least one picture of France from those I follow. He is already convinced we need to go, but I still feel it is necessary to amaze him with Instagram photos. Haha! :) Esther Pulcipherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713572787499605573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315007482820618767.post-36647385778460972912016-05-26T19:01:19.027-07:002016-05-26T19:01:19.027-07:00This is amazing!!

When it gets negative I think it has more to do with what state of mind one is in rather than the social media itself. And happy to provide a daily dosis of Paris ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232383389193914498noreply@blogger.com
