My Favorite Female Instagram Accounts

In honor of it being International Women's Day, I thought that it was only appropriate that this week's blog feature my REAL PERSON favorite female Instagram accounts. When it comes to social media platforms and content, I am only here for the most authentic and well-founded content. While I certainly follow some MLM-type content creators, I find that I naturally gravitate towards people who aren't trying to sell me on some product. I've compiled this list of my Top 6 Favorite Female Influencers to reflect that authenticity. From fitness influencers to beauty-entrepreneurs, I love to support a woman unapologetically making her mark on the world.

1. Venus Moore @bodybyvenus
Why I follow: LA-based fitness influencer and celebrity trainer Venus Moore is absolutely awe-inspiring. Not only does she post valuable fitness tips and workout advice, she looks absolute fierce doing it. She is someone who is out here not just talking the talk, she is walking the walk. She is literal goals. With a fan-base of nearly 250k followers, she has to be doing something right. What I like most about her is how down-to-earth-and approachable she is: Have a question? Ask. She is super friendly and engages with her followers frequently.

2. Leslie Jespersen @leslie_jespersen
Why I follow: This Atlantic City influencer is actually a personal friend of mine and she is as genuine as her content. An expert in social media marketing, Leslie has worn many hats over the years - from radio show host to podcasting personality, beauty blogger to body-positive fashionista who authored her own easy-to-follow how-to recipe book for coffee addicts. Leslie's lifestyle account captures a wide variety of topics and she handles them with poise and ease. 

3. Mindy Hatch @mindymhatch
Why I follow: This fit-fluencing mama is never without new and on-brand content - featuring workouts, family stuff, and food/recipes you can actually make yourself. She is a mother of two who looks like she never had kids - and while I recognize that might not be relatable to everyone, she is proof that with or without good genes, a strong work effort can take you pretty far - all while not trying to sell  anything. That's right. She isn't going to roll into your DMs with "Hey, Bossbabe! I have a limited amount of spots on my team and I think you'd be perfect." That's my favorite part.

4. Ally Kimpton @allykimptonphotography
Why I follow: I first scrolled across Ally's photography Instagram when I was pregnant with Remy and considering maternity/infant portraits. Having worked with her from almost day one of her photography career, I have really seen her bloom and grow as an artist (and a mother) and we continue to purchase her services for our family. While she is local to the Atlantic County, NJ area and focuses solely on maternity/infant photography, she is more than worth the follow just for the delightful portraits she posts of the tiniest babies in the cutest outfits. Her posts are a whole pick-me-up for your follow feed.

5. Estee Maria @esteemaria
Why I follow: I originally came across Estee's instagram account from following her boyfriend @meanie and his NSFW brand of clothing and merch. (If you've seen my strongly-worded gym bag, that's where I got it from!) With a following of over 103k people, she is surprisingly down-to-earth and fun -not to mention talented, as she founded the super popular party band @theupallnighters where she also serves as one of the lead singers. She comes across as a real "girl's girl" just by being herself - whether it's cooking, dancing, goofing around, or showcasing her killer vocals. Honestly, it's the type of content I am here for. 

6. Billie Lee @itsmebillielee
Why I follow: Ok, so if you watch reality tv and have seen the Bravo series Vanderpump Rules, you may be familiar with Billie. I know I said this is a list of "real people" (I guess meaning non-celebrities), BUT Billie is as real as they come. She is unapologetically herself and her content encourages others to be the same. She is always on target with her posts - usually some quote that seems to eerily apply to whatever I am feeling at the moment - and it really feels like she is very genuinely rooting for her followers to succeed. I like women who are with and for other women - Billie is exactly that. 

So now that you know my top six, who are yours? Leave me a comment letting me know which female Instagram accounts I should be following!
