As part of my personal life motto (and also personal brand on my social media platforms) of being authentic and honest, I only work with brands whose products and services I either A) already use and love or B) am able to try out and love, with the condition that if I do not love it, I will not promote it positively on my channels.

Hinge is my favorite dating app, so it was a no-brainer for me to partner with them. This photo was taken and posted on Valentine’s Day, a day when your Instagram feed is filled with pictures of happy couples with adorable captions. I thought that this picture and caption would be relatable for all of the single people on Valentine’s Day, and based on the reaction and comments, I think it was just that.
