A Day In The Life…

I believe that social media is one of the greatest tools to build a business, connect with other people, gain inspiration and provide knowledge on all different topics. Although social media is a wonderful resource that is truly a gift, it has changed our lives in several ways that has hindered us from having real life communication skills, keeping private moments private and not always wondering or caring about what others are doing or even caring what others think about you. No one posts about the dull moments of their life on Instagram, only the highlights so we easily compare our lives to other people’s lives. Our lives have quickly turned from private to public as our followers/friends can see the sandwich we had for lunch to every single moment they spend with their friends. I use social media to connect with my friends/family, fitness inspiration, life inspiration, business inspiration and I share only what adds value and positivity to my life. I use Instagram the most and Facebook last. Snapchat I use only for close friends. I do not follow celebrities on Instagram or other social media platforms – I follow those who lift me up, add value to my day and make me feel happy. I make it a priority to filter my social media to ensure that the content I am seeing and taking in is adding value to my life and not negativity. I love using Instagram to also share my passions such as makeup artistry and photography to gain clients. I do not receive emails from companies unless it is for a store that I like to receive coupons and promotions for!
