Guys. It’s 7:45PM and I am done with my bath and IN BED. If you know me well, you know my baths aren’t exactly short 😂 so this is bizarre. I am going to bed at 7:45PM. Why am I so excited about this? Anyone else get giddy about the potential of a good nights rest? 👵🏼🧓🏻 
Christmas movies, holiday music, the virtual fireplace (someday we’ll have a real fire), a cozy house robe (hi, that’s me), and two boys who prefer pajamas over getting dressed. That’s what we’re seeing a lot of around the house lately. And I am here 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 I finally sat down to order our holiday cards yesterday (hello @minted) and I can’t wait to send them out already! I do realize Thanksgiving hasn’t had the spotlight yet, but to be fair our front porch is still showing off some cute autumn cheer. Anyone else struggling to hold Christmas back or have you already put up your tree? No shame in that game, ladies 🎄 
Hating IG lately? Listen up, friends! I wanted to share some insight with you today about a hot topic right now ... IG updates ... as in plural. Several updates within days. Possibly hours! Yikes! As if keeping up with the algorithm wasn’t enough, now there are reels, guides, saves, sends, and buttons I’ve never seen before scattered throughout. SO MUCH TO LEARN 🤯 Here’s my encouragement 👉🏻 this app is a one stop shop and FREE marketing central! The possibilities are endless for you to market your small shop in a fairly seamless and aesthetically pleasing way. I would say 90% of my business since I’ve begun has come from Instagram. And I’m paying for that with my time. Yes, without a doubt “time is money,” but it’s time well spent when you’re efficient with it. Especially if it’s bringing in monayyy honayyy! Beyond that, I have built my business through connections that I’ve made through IG. I’ve met people through this app who have become real life friends who I love so freakin’ much (you all know who you are 😉). As we all know social media can be a dark, dark place but today I’m looking for the light with so many changes happening so rapidly. So take a moment today to learn something new, explore new features, and channel the negative energy into all of the good this little app has brought your way. *steps off soap box* Share below what GOOD has come from using this app and any insight that could be helpful to others as they navigate the learning curves! And have the BEST Friday! Feel free to SAVE, SEND, or SHARE this to anyone you know who needs the encouragement today 😉
