Creating stories is an important aspect of IG more so, but FB as well, that I hope you are using! There are 500 million people interacting on stories daily, so that is reason alone to use them. It also gives you the opportunity to post things perhaps more personal, fun and pictures that are not necessarily right for your feed. ... Play around with the features and watch people start to interact with your stories more. **Biggest tip, dont story dump once a day, spread the stories out throughout your day! **

WHAT TO POST NOW....? My biggest tip for anyone struggling to post consistently on a weekly basis ( more then 3 times a week needs to happen) is this. 1. Figure out 6 general topics to cover each week. Ie behind the scenes, whats new, tip tuesdays etc. ... 2. Get more specific under each heading. Ie behind the scenes: making soap, working on the computer, a day in the life of, knowledge sharing, etc Make sure its specific to you and your brand and it makes sense. 3. Each day is a different topic so you will have done that 6 times, and now you have two weeks of content to post about. ( if posting three times a week or one week if doing 6 times a week) 4. Put it on a content calander to help keep you organized m, on schedule and posting regularly. Boom, posting regularly doesnt have to be such a challenge! How do you keep on track with posting?

TIME MANAGMENT For myself, I am most productive when I plan, write down exactly what I need to do and put a time on each task.

HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF YOU? *Laugh at yourself. *Screw up, learn and try again *Do shit that scares you... *Be kind even to those who are miserable and unkind *Spread joy to those who need it *Walk away from things that dont make you happy or light your fire. * Move daily These are statements and actions I follow daily and do.

EXERCISE = POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH I wake up early as it is to start work, but the thought of waking up a bit earlier ( 5:45 to be exact) so I could start doing something for myself again was a bit hard to grasp. BUT, I did it and I am hooked! I used to be gym obsessed before kids and was there 6 days a week, so to get back into something feels so good!... Having other people to be motivated with, is also helpful. Keep the friends around who wake up early and work out with you! They are keepers! Do you exercise on a regular basis even if it is a walk? It is a great way to start your day.

SAVE THIS POST A present from me to you. Here are my top tips for you when it comes to your platforms.... These can work on a few different platforms, not just instagram!

SAVE THIS POST Some prompts to help with content ideas What are some other ideas for content?

First, this isnt a political debate, and a debate about who likes who. That is besides the point. Its about coming together to support a business who is expanding and bringing great things to Turner Valley. I was invited to an event yesterday in town that had the Premier, MLA, counsillors and other business people there. ... We came together to Support David, at Eau Claire and discuss Economic Development. To bring awareness to our amazing communities and the potential we have here. I attended the event, missed the photoshoot, so I took matters into my own hands and photoshopped myself in . Yup I did...

MONDAYS I love Mondays. Do you love Mondays??!!... It means a brand new week to accomplish new goal and complete tasks. It is a brand new week to do my best for my clients, work hard, try to do better as a mom ( yeah work tends to take over) and stay organized. To say I have always loved Mondays... yeah I cant. But I can now!!

SAVE THIS POST July is almost here and that means it is time to plan your content. Have fun with them, stay on brand, and enjoy!

I chuckle as I post this picture. I laugh because when you meet someone for the first time and they say "oh youre the girl that likes to lay in the middle of the road" You just have go do it again to laugh about it. YOU know who you are G. ... Anyways! This week is full of challenges, big decision making and risk taking. Risks and challenges that are a bit stressful but I know will only create growth. Are you one to shy away from change/challenges or hit it straight on?

Do you just coast through when it comes to your business, or do you set out very clear goals for yourself, then work towards them daily? Having goals of course will allow your business to grow, but I see all too often owners that do not have a plan or a goal. Without those one will stay stagnant. Some are okay with that, others are not.... I am one that will never stay stagnant.

During Covid I have watched people use that time as an opportunity. An opportunity to grow An opportunity to slow down their fast paced life An opportunity to get online ... And even used it as an opportunity to look within to see exactly what they wanted to do with their life, like start a new business! However that time was used, know it was right and it was exactly what you needed. As things start to go back ( I wont say " to normal" as it wont be) how did you use that time?

ANIMALS// Animals relax me. I didnt realize it until my dog went to the rainbow bridge this year. They are so good for making me slow down, relax and just take a break because they need lovin too! This Girl isnt ours nor are we ready for another one, but she comes for visits multiple times a day when her owner is at work for 12+ hours a day. ... Its the perfect arrangement for us! Do you find animals have that relaxing affect on you?

What is something you have done that was scarey at first? Embarking on something new can be scarey as shit. The thoughts of not being good enough, smart enough or comparing yourself to others. The worry that you will be judged. ... I have learned to do the shit that scares me because you know why...because that is how we grow. Because people are going to judge you no matter what. So we may as well shine like a rock stars bling. The sense of accomplishment, the feeling of being proud you did it and the growth that occurs when you do it is AMAZING. So do the things that scare the SHIT out of you. It is worth it. See more
