But How Do I Go Viral on Instagram?!
I’ve been thinking a lot about the phrase “going viral” lately for a few reasons (aside from the fact that I’ve had Covid all last week – slightly different kinda viral), but the main one is that I think our goals have changed with social media. “Going viral” is now […]
Cooking Online: Then VS Now
As I was coming up with my next little “sketch” for TikTok, I was watching a “cooking video” on Instagram and felt like I may or may not have a seizure. Everything moves so fast, no wonder these kids go viral. You quite literally have to watch 3-4 times just […]
Navigating the Evolution of Social Media
HELLO! Lovely to see you here, fellow misfit. I’d like to take a moment to walk you through my journey from blogger to photographer to marketing consultant and now to a combination of all three. Some might call it a hat trick, I call it multi-passionate. I have been creating […]

2018 is upon us, friends. If you’re anything like me, you’re battling a hangover and being lazy. Maybe you’re on your second or third Seamless order of the day. If you are, then we are quite literally on the same page. Part of me wanted to do a year in […]
