Instagram you old devil.
Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love a bit of Instagram. My nightly trawl through the explore pages is ashamedly one of my favourite parts of the day.
But have you ever stopped and wondered how your social media habits are actually affecting your self-confidence and body image?
How many pages do you follow that make you feel crap about your body? How many pages give you a pang of guilt about your eating habits? Ladies enough is enough.
We’re all about inspirational Instagram pages but make sure you’re following ones that make you feel proud and motivated not disappointed and sad.
We teamed up with the body confidence gurus over at Sally Hansen to create a list of some great accounts you need to be following. Here are six Instagram accounts that will do your mind (and news feed) a lot of good.
Celeste Barber
Celeste Barber is by far one of the funniest women on Instagram. The comedy legend recreates famous celeb photos but in a much more realistic way. Her account serves as a reminder that not everything is as glamorous in real life as it appears on social media, plus she always has us cracking up with her witty captions. Celeste we salute you.
Eff Your Beauty Standards
This fab account celebrates all bodies and all people. It was set up by plus-size model Tess Holliday and is now ran by a group of 7 ladies and a fella. The page promotes self-love and a positive outlook on life. It’s full of people of all shapes and sizes. We love!
Project Heal
Project Heal is a non-profit organisation that raises money for eating disorder treatment. The page is absolutely packed with lots of lovely quotes and inspirational messages about the real meaning of beauty.
Winnie Harlow is an absolute Goddess. The supermodel shot to fame a few years ago and since then she has walked on catwalks all over the world. Her Instagram is packed full of lots of body positivity (as well as some serious style inspo).

This fab account does exactly what it says on the tin. Swimsuits For All promotes the idea that no matter what your shape or size you should never be ashamed to put on your togs and go for a dip. They showcase lots of lovely bikinis as well as the fab women wearing them.
Louise O’Reilly is one of Ireland’s best-known bloggers and a stunning curvy model to boot. Louise’s account is full of lots of great style tips, lovely close up shots and tonnes of advice that will no doubt boost your self confidence.
