Issue
Relatively new to all things HTML and CSS and I am trying to figure out why I can't get the instagram icon in my header bar to align with the rest of the text.
The icon is added using Font Awesome with an <i> element while the rest of the text in the header is <a>.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

* {
font-family: 'Work Sans', sans-serif;
font-weight: 800;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;
}
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: 'Work Sans', sans-serif;
font-weight: 800;
font-size: 14px;
}
i p {
font-family: 'Work Sans', sans-serif;
font-weight: 800;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;
}
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
header {
background: #000000;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
z-index: 1;
text-align: left;
height: 50px;
}
header::after {
content: '';
display: table;
clear: both;
}
nav {
float: left;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0;

list-style: none;
}
nav li {
display: inline-block;

padding: 3px;

position: relative;
}
nav a,i {

}
nav a:hover,i:hover {

nav a::before,i::before {

<li><a href="#">Discover</a></li>
</ul>

</div>
</header>Solution
The main issue is due to using position:absolute for i::before.
However, I found some other problems while checking your code :
- You should not put a block level
<p>tag inside an inline<i>tag. - You should use class selectors rather than type selectors for better specificity.
Here is the fixed code :
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Work+Sans:400,600');
* {
font-family: 'Work Sans', sans-serif;
font-weight: 800;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;
}
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: 'Work Sans', sans-serif;
font-weight: 800;
font-size: 14px;
}
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.header {
background: #000000;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
z-index: 1;
text-align: left;
height: 50px;
}
.header::after {
content: '';
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.nav {
float: left;
}
.nav-menu {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
.nav-menu li {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 70px;
padding-top: 20px;
padding: 3px;
color: white;
position: relative;
}
.nav-link {
color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;
}
.nav-link i {
margin-right: 5px;
}
.nav-link:hover,
.nav-link:hover i {
color: rgb(249, 225, 8);
}
.nav-link::before {
content: '';
display: block;
height: 5px;
background-color: rgb(249, 225, 8);
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 0%;
transition: all ease-in-out 250ms;
}
.nav-link:hover::before {
width: 100%;
