In cultures around the world, the end of the calendar year marks an important moment to reflect on the twelve months past while bracing for the year to come.
Everyone has their own way of “reflecting.” Our way is revisiting all of the celebrity Instagrams this year that made us gasp, laugh, throw our phones (onto our beds, don’t worry), and immediately text our friends fire/skull/heart emojis.
