When it first came out, I hated it. I refused to join, in spite of my friends nagging me. To me, it was the most vain social media platform to date. And maybe it still is. Maybe that's why I like it. Or maybe I just allowed myself to stop being so oppositional to change … Continue reading Social Solution Saturday: My Favorite Platform

Social Solution Saturday: Trends
Trending topics have quickly become one of my favorite social media tools. Twitter initiated the trends (pun totally intended) and they've now spread to every major platform. They're a great way to stay informed (many current events will trend) but they're also a great way to increase your online presence. What's a "trend"? Trends are … Continue reading Social Solution Saturday: Trends

Inspired or Distracted?
I like to think I'm pretty inspiration-minded. ...I just totally made that up. What I mean to say is, I have controlled ADHD. My brain is perpetually everywhere, always coming up with new ideas. Like this post. I literally stopped what I was doing and started scribbling it down in my notebook because I didn't … Continue reading Inspired or Distracted?

The most difficult question ever.
Filling out job applications is usually only tedious to me. You know how companies ask for a copy of your resume and then make you fill out a form where you repeat the same information because it's not linked to fill out the form based on your resume? Yeah. That makes me crazy, but you gotta … Continue reading The most difficult question ever.

Social Solution Saturday: Negative Posts
You've worked hard to build your profile and the content you post to it, just like you've worked hard to build your business but unfortunately, you can't please everyone.

If this happens, your next … Continue reading Social Solution Saturday: Negative Posts

An Open Letter to Literally Everyone
Dear friends, family, employers, acquaintances, followers, neighbors, and anyone else I haven't covered - I think we all know how it feels to be judged...and we're lying to ourselves and everyone else if we claim to never have been on either the receiving or giving side of judgement. Whether it's because of the color of … Continue reading An Open Letter to Literally Everyone

Social Solution Saturday: The Hashtag
I've been working with a lot of my clients lately on their Instagram/Twitter hashtags. While they can be annoying (especially if you use WAY too many), they're a really useful tool for broadening your audience online. Before I go into detail on how to do this, let's go over some hashtag basics first. Here's a … Continue reading Social Solution Saturday: The Hashtag

Think Pink!
My full-time job is also in social media, which has been great for learning, improving, and refining my knowledge and style. One of the other interesting aspects of my job (and benefits of working for a start-up) is that I am also able to write slideshow content for our website. RxWiki is something of a … Continue reading Think Pink!

The Leighton W. Designs Fashion Show
Oddly enough, this story has three parts: Business, bestie, and Boy. Elizabeth Lestina: Local talent and best friend...she's also my very best client. But more on her later, when I publish her feature. She walked the "Je Suis Une Femme" fashion show for Leighton W. Designs a few weeks back and was, as usual, simply stunning. … Continue reading The Leighton W. Designs Fashion Show
