Its another way to exchange information about each others lives with photos. It´s not like facebook or twitter where people share their thoughts, it´s all about creativity and making beautiful images.

Isamayaffrench , jacquemus & margaret_zhang are some of my popular favorites, but I always love to browse through my friends @lindsxdavis @psycosmicprincess and @mrjuanvidal because it makes me happy to see what they are up to in their daily travels, etc.

Stay home and watch a movie.

When I was a child I tried to give my best friend a haircut and ended up chopping most of her hair off. Opps haha
