The now-first lady documented many trips to West Palm Beach, where Donald Trump's resort Mar-a-Lago is located.

Trump also posted a photo of herself on her way to her "summer residence," presumably the 60-room Seven Springs in Bedford, New York.

All the traveling meant lots of photos taken from private planes.

From the glamorous lifestyle to some more sensual poses, there are a lot of photos on Trump's social media accounts that don't fit the stereotypical image of a first lady.

However, that has changed since her husband's election.

Now, Trump's "FLOTUS" Twitter account is flooded with photos of her visiting members of the military, meeting international leaders, and working with charities.

More light-hearted posts are the exception — and you won't find any bikini selfies.

In many ways, Trump's social media presence has changed more than her husband's since the election.

Trump celebrated her first year as first lady with a photo that did not feature the president — a move that raised a few eyebrows.
