Instagram is one of my favorite creative outlets. I really enjoy being on the platform most especially because of the endless entertainment it offers. My favorite thing to do when on the gram beyond the inspo is reading captions. In my opinion a caption is just as important as the image. If you have an image of a cat and the caption is some deep quote – that’s a whole mismatch (unless the cat died and y’all were close – then it’s sad) but I digress!
Captions are king and I love reading them! So what makes a bomb caption?

Captions where you display confidence with a side of sass usually draw a lot of attention. I’m a big fan of the stunting captions.
The Light Flex
These are captions where you see folks stepping out of flashy cars or casually talking about how they dropped tons of money on a basic item like a $1000 t-shirt … you know, no biggie just a G here and a G there …
Informational
These are some of my favorite ones. I love following accounts that add value to your feed. Accounts that teach you how to bake or how to save or how to use everyday items to do out of the ordinary things … these accounts are must follows!
Inspirational
I love a good caption that just uplifts my spirits. I try to find one daily that makes me stop and just reflect on life. These captions refresh my soul!

I’m an easy laugh … so you know I’m all about a good pun and boy does Instagram have some accounts that have the punniest captions! I will take a well thought out pun any day of the week!
