Scented Musings | IG Suspension - Again

Instagram’s AI Has Spoken… Again

Well, it happened again.
Today, I noticed that another one of my Instagram pages—one dedicated to Bath & Body Works information—has been suspended.

Gone.

The reason? The name.
I now have 172 days to appeal… if I want to. But like the others, this page is now inaccessible to everyone—including me.

Over the last several months, multiple IG pages of mine have been removed one by one.
Me thinks someone is trying to tell me something.
(A higher power perhaps? Cue the sarcastic ha ha.)

And yet, here’s the odd part: I still see plenty of Instagram pages using the “Bath and Body Works” name in their handles, untouched.
So is Meta’s AI just rolling dice at this point? Or are some of us being selectively targeted?

I’m not sure.


Where to Next? Decisions, Decisions…

I haven’t decided if I’ll open a new public Facebook group.
Honestly? I don’t know if I want to pour all that time and energy into something that feels like it could be ripped away again at any moment.

Maybe I’ll pivot completely:
πŸ‘‰ A YouTube channel?
πŸ‘‰ A Facebook chat group?
Still thinking on it.


In the Meantime…

The blog remains the constant.
Everything I gather and share is posted right here. No flashy ads. No forced follows. No drama.

✔️ I update the Holiday Archive daily—even when it seems like nothing new is happening.
✔️ And today, I added a post about some upcoming sales worth checking out.


And Now… Something Worth Celebrating

Today marks 37 years with my husband.
Yes, someone actually stayed with me that long.
Shocking, I know. πŸ˜‰

So I'm off now to spend some time outdoors, unplugged, with the man who’s been through every IG page loss, screenshot scandal, and surprise candle drop right by my side.

Thanks for being here—and for understanding this wild world of social sharing.
We’ll see what direction comes next… and I’ll be sure to bring you with me when I figure it out.
