Instagram Challenge: FOODIE

April 21, 2014

Instagram Challenge | #UGInstaFun | FOODIE | UncommonGoods

We invite you to give us some serious food envy, we’re prepared to drool. Along with cute babies and shameless selfies, one of the most popular things to Instagram is food. Ohhh, the infamous foodie Instagram shot. Nowadays an Instagram snapshot of our food is the “bon appetit” of a meal or treat, a small moment to be proud of whatever is beautifully displayed on your plate. Whether you prepared it or not — everyone in your social media world needs to know what you’re about to stuff your face with.  Food simply fuels us in life, and it’s not our fault if  our fuel so happens to sometimes be chocolate covered or has extra sprinkles. The next Instagram Challenge theme is FOODIE. Share with us your yummy snapshots and hashtag #UGInstaFun for your chance to win a $50 gift card. Visit here to see all of the foodie entries we’ve received so far.

Instagram Challenge: SPRING

April 5, 2014

Finally! *back flips into the middle of a picture perfect flowered meadow we only see in the movies.* The temperatures are rising, the trees aren’t naked anymore, and our social circles are coming out of the woodwork! As the days are rolling deeper into May, we’re (happily) throwing our heavy coats into the back of our closets and digging for those floral skirts and open toed sandals we certainly didn’t forget about. It’s finally time to be inspired by the birds and the bees, Friday rooftop parties, Sunday picnic outings, nostalgic bike rides, random rainy days, and feeling  Mr. Sun against our skin. The current Instagram Challenge theme is SPRING. Be sure to use the hashtag #UGInstaFun for your chance to win a $50 gift card. Show us what your favorite part of this beautiful season is! Visit here to see all of the spring entries we’ve received so far!

Instagram Challenge: NATURE

As mush as we love being based in our beloved Brooklyn, there are moments when we daydream about seeing trees and animals somewhere else other than the park or want to admire plants other than our succulents sitting on our office desks. If you know UncommonGoods well, you know we’re a big fan of nature — many of our products, especially our jewelry and art work, are inspired from tree bark to bright rainbows to blue skies. Nature reminds us to breathe and to take a moment to, literally, stop and smell the roses.  The next Instagram Challenge theme is NATURE. Bust out those beach bummin’, tree huggin’, flower pickin’ snap shots and hashtag #UGInstaFun for your chance to win a $50 gift card. Visit here to see all of the nature entries we’ve received so far.

Instagram Challenge: BLACK & WHITE

February 1, 2014

Instagram Challenge: Black & White

The next #UGInstaFun theme is BLACK & WHITE. I have to say, there’s something about black and white photography that calms and excites. It’s as if the photographer’s letting me in on a little secret through a timeless moment they captured. Whether the photo is happy, whimsical, mysterious, dark, simple, or fun — a black and white photo usually puts more focus on the subject. It slows down the eyeball and keeps it from jumping frantically around the picture. It reminds me to take a step back and to slow down a bit. Share with us your black and white timeless moments. On March 5th, 2014 a winner will be chosen and the prize is a $50 gift card. Be sure to hashtag #UGInstaFun on Instagram and if you want to see entries that have already joined in on the fun, click here.
