DAY 3 | How to avoid an addiction of followers on Instagram?

 


When I first started Instagram, I wondered if there’s anyone who doesn’t think about wanting to gain more followers. Unfortunately, we’re addicted to followers, but it feels inevitable. When someone likes my post, I feel grateful. When they leave a comment, I feel even more thankful. And when they follow me, it genuinely makes me happy.

But I realized that I don’t want to become addicted to gaining followers. Being addicted to anything isn’t good, right? So, I started thinking about how I could avoid being overly focused on gaining followers. If I get too caught up in it, I would feel more stress and lose its genuine fun.

Here’s how I’ve been approaching it:

  • Use Instagram as a tool for self-study and documenting trending information & knowledge.
  • Use it as a way to gather information.
  • Participate in major events hosted by companies and receive gifts.
  • Accept sponsorships to promote brands and try out new products.
  • Discover new tastes and preferences.
  • Make global friends.
  • Organize my daily life to improve my quality of life.

Do you think there are any other ways to approach it?

Day 1 | Hello, my name is Chloe, and I’m from South Korea.

  Hello, my name is Chloe, and I’m from South Korea. I’m starting this blog to document the things I love and the people I cherish. At first, I’ll mostly be writing about home decoration, but over time, I plan to expand to other topics like essays, paintings, and stories about life in Korea. I’m passionate about home styling, drawing, and listening to good music like jazz. I’m also drawn to well-organized spaces filled with vintage furniture, beautiful lighting, and meaningful objects. Writing essays that capture lessons from everyday life is another thing I love. As I start this blog, I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant, so I’d also like to share stories about my pregnancy journey here in Korea. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey—it truly means a lot to me. If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram.  Link :  Instagram

Day 2 | What are the differecens among Nordic, Danish, and Japandi?

                                Above(Nordic) Bottom(Mid century modern)   Through my activities on Instagram under the theme of home styling, I’ve discovered my own taste. I realized this by noticing the characteristics of the photos I liked. This might be true for everyone, but when I didn’t know my own style, I found Instagram to be very helpful. At first, I was drawn to Scandinavian white-tone interiors, but later I shifted toward mid-century modern. This led me to buy Danish vintage furniture and enjoy following the home styling of my Danish friends on Instagram. Then I discovered something interesting: many of my Danish friends were following minimalist Japanese styles. So now, I’m styling my home by blending Nordic, Danish, Japanese, and mid-century modern designs. However, I’ve become curious about the subtle differences between Nordic, Danish, and Japanese home styling. - Nordic Style : Emphasi...

Day 5 | I bought HAY color crate boxes for future kids! and for me as a tool of desk organizer.

Image
I need a storage cabinet to organize items for the babies who will be born soon. That’s why I’ve been paying attention to storage brands, and the brand Tylko caught my eye. It’s a Polish brand, but unfortunately, they don’t deliver to Korea. So for now, I’ve decided to repurpose two existing IKEA cabinets as baby storage and use the Hay storage boxes to store smaller items. I came across Hay products by chance while searching online, and I love how they come in a variety of beautiful colors and can be stacked like blocks. You can even add wheels to make them portable. When I imagine the future when the kids are a little older, I think these boxes could be a fun way to teach them to clean up their toys or belongings. Since I’ll have two kids, I could assign different colors to each of them. The boxes come in different sizes, too, so it seems like an easy way to teach them how to organize from a young age: big boxes for large items, small boxes for small items. It’s obvious to us, but ...
