Claiming that it helps feel more present in the moment when spending time with her family and friends, the supermodel and reality star says she deletes her Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat accounts from her phone now and then for a couple of days.<\/p>

Granted, many of us might have felt compelled to do the same at some point \u2013 but how could we possibly function without\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0when it feels like the world functions on it? It is undeniable that social media has permeated through every aspect of our lives \u2013 from the way we communicate, document our moments and memories, and maintain our relationships.
