    40 Amazing Women to Follow on Instagram For Daily Inspiration

    With Instagram growing every day (500 million accounts and counting!) it’s hard to separate the people worth following and the irrelevant, non-informative accounts we are subject to follow. I, for one, know all too well what it is like following a bunch of people whose photos I will never like and stories I don’t care to open. Here at BAUCE, we are women of substance. Besides the obvious posts from close friends and family, why not make your timeline a little more worth viewing?

    To make it easier on you, we’ve shared some accounts whose posts I feel are worth the double-tap. These ladies we consider to be BAUCE’s and add more than just a pretty picture to our day. They inspire us to do more with or daily lives in every way possible!
