12 Instagram Accounts That Brought Us Joy This Year

This year was one for the books, no doubt about it. We spent the majority of the year missing hanging out with our friends and heading out on creative field trips. Instagram has always been a love/hate relationship for us, but these accounts were a bright spot in our year. We decided to share some of our favorite IG accounts that brought us inspiration and smiles even in the craziest year of our lives. Make sure to give these accounts a follow if you need a bit of joy in your scroll!
