If you’re following me on Instagram, you are already aware that I am officially a New Yorker…for the next couple of months! 


When I first got to NY, I was running around town and trying to simultaneously catch my breath from the massive yet temporary move! I went to Curlfest for the first time which was really cool to witness (team straight yet natural), was invited to test out the Ford Escape at the Ford Escape the Room Challenge and went on Hello Beautiful Live to talk about Summer Essentials. You can catch the video here. 

Of course, I’ve been out and about playing tourist. Here’s a little diary recap of my adventures as told by Instagram. Follow the hashtag #TheWerkPlaceTakesNY on Twitter and Instagram to keep up with my NY adventures.

Speaking of Instagram, here are a few tips to take your account to the next level! 

Did the Huxtables live in Harlem or nah? #HarlemOnTheRise Location: Somewhere in Harlem

If you’re honest with yourself, you do it, too! The minute you find out someone’s IG handle, you’re off to see their page and pass a few judgements  draw a few conclusions.

This spot in Harlem has the best interior! It’s so overwhelming good. I can’t speak on the food, however. I only came for the photo. Location: Sweetbird in Harlem, NY

TIP #2: SIZE MATTERS

With apps, we have the opportunity to shape and re-shape the size of the photo. When we’re talking about size, consistency is key. If you’re going to use a border on your photos, use that same border on all of your photos. If you’re going to make your photos different sizes, find a consistent pattern to create a mosaic effect.

TIP #3: QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Sure you want to have a consistent posting schedule but put some focus on what you’re posting instead of how many times you’re posting.
