  • A few years ago, when I was pretty new to this Instagram world, I reached out to Rachel from @whineandcheezits. I think she had about 15k or 20k followers then, and I remember being sooo nervous to contact her because she was so big, so good. But I did it anyway because she seemed nice, she seemed approachable, she seemed real. I introduced myself via DM and asked her for any tips she had for how to do this blog/influencer/social media thing and how to grow. She replied! THE Rachel Sobel replied to MY message!!! Her answer: Just be yourself. I was right about Rachel. She’s real. She’s approachable. She’s helpful and supportive. She’s an incredible writer and content creator and human. Whether she’s streaming from inside her closet on Monday night or telling funny stories about her kids, she’s always true to who she is. And while I haven’t grown at nearly the rate of so many others here on Instagram, every time I think of throwing in the towel, I remember Rachel’s advice. I keep on keepin’ on and being me, sharing real stories with all of you. I’m so glad we all have Rachel’s very real voice in the world, and so excited for her as she’s about to hit 100k followers! Keep being YOU, @whineandcheezits, and thank you for sharing a bit of you with all of us!!!
