The Insta-purge of 2014…

Sunday, December 21, 2014


… Anyone else totally reeling from the epic Insta-purge of 2014?  Holy cow, I had no clue I had so many spammy followers!  I think I lost about 700 and in trying to connect with REAL people, turned to a few Facebook blogging groups.  We had threads and threads and threads of link swaps and people promised to connect, but my handy dandy unfollow-y app showed me that only about 10% of the people who said that they had followed, really had not.  

Grrrr… people… 

… that being said, if you want to connect on Instagram (<---- click that to hear a really interesting story about this photo location), drop me a line here and we'll be friends!

  1. This is such a cute outfit. I like the purple sweater underneath and all the accessorizing that you have done. I have been following so many fashion blogs lately so I could get some idea of how I should dress. Good job :)

  2. About your snippet on Insta about this location: Hitler was just a soldier in WW1, a lowly little volunteer Lance corporal for the Bavarian army. He had no power or influence in the slightest to commission any sort of tunnels. He may have commissioned them in like, the 30s, when he was the dictator, but, that was a decade or so after the First World War.
    History must not be a strong suit.

    1. Hmmmm… Guess the guy who owns the tunnels and gave us a tour doesn't have his facts straight and I'll believe anything someone in a position to impart knowledge tells me!

  4. In the last few months I felt like I was constantly getting spammy followers, but I blocked them as I spotted them. I recently started following you on Instagram and love your photos.

  9. Love those brown boots!! I think the insta-purge was long overdue, I hope Instagram continues to do it monthly or even seasonally. It makes my job (in social) a whole lot better instead of working with bloggers with huge fake followings and giving my clients no return... now that makes me GRRR.
