It's official now. I have been verified on Instagram. Who knew that just reviewing spicy food would get me this far. I guess I'm now a business owner social media influencer idol. At least my bandmates can't say I've been slacking off if they ever show up.


[But he does have actual business to talk about here.]


That being said, if you have recommendations or want me to promote your restaurant or bakery, I can definitely arrange that. No need for any discounts or anything, I just do this for the good food.


Anyone interested in checking my account, it's @ spiceitup. I do post some stories as well, but they're not always about food, as a warning.

Sirius is quite often a guest star.

Wouldn't a blog be better for food reviews? I mean, I get it because of the photo aspect but I don't think Instagram is usually the place I'd think of to look at food reviews.

So, you only review spicy food?

[saxsongs]

Hmm, maybe? You can write quite a bit on Instagram though, and I can do additional things on the stories if needed. And it's worked enough to make me verified. Maybe if I feel like it, I'll start writing a blog later.

Yeah. I do mention the other foods in the restaurants, especially any other personal favorites I may have had.

[shotgunman]

That's fair! I've seen reviews pop up back home on Eos's version of Insta. I love photography myself, so I guess I'm used to using more for what it was intended for than what people have started doing. But honestly, it's cool! People get real creative. ^_^

Oh good! You have a spice thing going so I wondering if that's all the food you reviewed :D Good to know there's other things.

[ Ren gets one more follow from yours truly. Username TBD.]

[saxsongs]

I did start off with just normal photography since I also really like taking photos. Then it escalated. I have been thinking about doing another account just for photos at some point.

I know very well spices aren't for everyone. Thanks for the new follow.

[shotgunman]

You should! Could be your relax account.

[saxsongs]

Exactly. It will be a nice safe space for me to post anything that I want.

And a place for all the additional photos I have that I've been wanting to share.

[shotgunman]

Since you've been here long enough to get verified, can I ask how long you've been here?

[saxsongs]

It's been five months since I arrived here.

May I ask the same in return, out of curiosity?

[shotgunman]

Technically two months? Was here in feb and then I left and came back may. Weird, I know.

[saxsongs]

Weird, yes. Unheard of, no. Usually people come back without their memories, but sometimes your case happens.
