 4X4 Moments

 
Finding your “tribe,” your girl gang, boss babes, your people, your peeps, the folks with whom you connect, is doable, but not always a simple task. 👯‍♀️ Did I ever mention how I was once told I was “aggressively nice?” (WTF?!?! It’s true.) So, I get it. 🙋🏻‍♀️ The first step to knowing what kind of relationships you want to build is to learn about yourself. Meeting other creatives within my industry is always an amazing experience. Sharing and learning about each other, our strengths, our business hardships, etc is one of the most rewarding elements of work and connecting with others. Do you currently have #mentors or have a #mastermind group? Ooor not so much? 🤷🏻‍♀️I’m asking for a friend 😆@webuiltthisco
I’m sure by now you’ve seen on my stories about how much I LOVE #subscriptions and one that I’m loving is @airshipbotanicals, a monthly #CBD Subscription.

Does your brand sit right with you? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sometimes it’s hard to nail down your #branding, especially when you compare yourself to what everyone else is doing (don’t do that peeps!) It definitely took some experimenting before I felt like my brand really reflected my personality: pretty fun, very millennialish, a bit funky, bright, light and airy, and always evolving. 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remember, a brand is your message, design, your voice and your vision! So it’s a lot closer to home than just pretty imagery. 🌿 Don’t settle on your brand vibes until it feels just like you-vibes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the brands that has nailed it down and I admire here in #Portland is @upperleftroasters. It’s#minimal look, pop or red coffee mugs, and ↖️... So, I want to know...what are brands that have nailed it that you like?
Happy Saturday! What are you up to today? 💁🏻‍♀️ I’ve had a very slow Saturday, caught up on my 💤 and a few projects a bit later. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If I could wave a magic wand at your biz and make anything happen, what would it be? ✨ More clients? Learn a new skill? Taking your biz from part time to full time? Write all your blog posts for you (😂 That would be mine -and guess what? You can! Link in bio) 💁🏻‍♀️🤓✨ Let me know in the comments, you never know, it might come true! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷 @bottegastories @oursecretsupper
There is nothing better than a smile that says you are endlessly adored, throwing on your comfies, snuggled up at home with a glass of full-bodied wine, a cable knit throw, and the seasonal soundtrack of winter rain falling outside your window. 🥰💫 I’ll do without the over priced [fill in the blank] but I’ll take all the ✨, 🍫 and 😘 Sending you all X's and O's, not just today but every day! 💖 🤗 📷 @bottegastories @oursecretsupper
Would it sound awfully cliché if I were to start off this post by saying content is king? 🌟🤓 I know … you’ve likely heard it about a million times. But what about this one... *visual* content is king. 👁 🍭 As it turns out, in this day and age, people care a lot more about visual content than they do about text. Creating visual content for my clients is undoubtedly my favorite part of my job. 😍 I get to use my creative eye to help them create a story on social media. One of the biggest takeaways that I share with anyone creating visual content is know what platform your visual be used for. A bad crop can ruin the visual message you are trying to create. How do you create awesome visual content that gets noticed? If you’re stumped on content planning, we’ve got your covered 🙋🏻‍♀️ Tap on the link in the bio!
