We are moving into the busiest season of the year, We are moving into the busiest season of the year, so how are you posting on all of your platforms without losing your mind?

Most people feel like they have to be everywhere, and they think that means a brand-new idea for every platform. That is how burnout gets built into the plan, and burnout is the reason people stop posting right when it matters most.

My goal is always for you to do less so content does not take over your life. You do not need more ideas, you need to stretch the ones you already have.

Start with one idea instead of one platform. It could be a how-to, a tip, a product you love, or an event you just went to. Build the full version first as a blog post or a newsletter section, with all the details and links. While you are creating it, grab a few photos and record a short video, because that one session gives you what you need for everything else. The video can go to TikTok, a reel or carousel can go to Instagram and Facebook, and Pinterest can get a pin with a little information that links back to your blog.

Just remember that posting the exact same file everywhere is not repurposing. Change the hook, the format, and the caption to fit where it lives, and the idea stays the same while the packaging changes.

More platforms does not have to mean more work. Pick one thing you already created this week and decide where else it can live.

Save this for the week you feel behind on content, and follow along for more digital strategy every Tuesday.

Alfred Hitchcock “The Birds”. He wanted the birds to look like they were flying over his head and I was like, I think this might be above my costuming pay grade. 

Alas he is persistent and I have an unhealthy attachment with thinking everything is #figureitoutable. I started with shredding the suit. The flying birds I attached with wire coat hangers and loads of hot glue. We reinforced the wires to give them some stability with a flat piece of cardboard. Everything was held on my loads of hot glue (a mix of low temp and hot temp) and some e6000. 

Not sure how it held up in the quarter last night but we shall see. So next question… should I do Halloween costume commissions next year?  You know with all the extra time I have on my hands 😂

Last Minute Gifts

So Christmas is five days away…  Soak it in…

If you have not finished shopping yet I am here to help.  Of course there are still plenty of local places to shop and get your gifts but if you are needing to shop online your best bet is of course Amazon.  They are still offering some major deals and the two day shipping makes it the easiest shopping trip you will ever make.

Here is my list for the best last minute gifts…

Melissa and Doug Cookie Set – I saw this in a store two days ago and it was $20.  Today it was $13 on amazon and available for prime shipping.  I was looking for one more gift for our Christmas child and this was perfect.  It will be here Thursday.

Bear Claws – I really need to buy a set of these for Big Daddy.  These are pulled pork claws that help you pull the meat without having to get your hands dirty.  Also, if you have ever shredded pork when it came out of the smoker you know it is blazing hot so these will be perfect for not burning your fingers.  I also have heard of people using them to pick up veggies and other things off the grill.

Steel Water Bottle – These are perfect for anyone you need to buy for.  Seriously everyone needs one.  They come in a variety of colors and sizes.  I LOVE mine.

Zipbuds – Ok not to stereotype but we all know that guys are usually the ones who are waiting until the last minuite to get gifts.  Guys if you are looking for something for your wife or girlfriend these are great!

Blanket Scarf – There are about a million ways to tie these and an equal amount of videos on you tube.  I actually did one last year for Northshore Parent here.

Fujifilm Instax Mini Camera –  I have seen a few friends buy these for their families for Christmas.  Seems like it would be a fun gift and something that could get a lot of use on Christmas Day.

Echo Show – Still regretting not grabbing one of these for Big Daddy.  If you are looking for the perfect gift for someone who loved gadgets this is it.  Plus they are still on sale at $149.

Video Projector – This is one of those items that you don’t need until you need it.  Currently in my life I don’t need this on a regular basis but a few weeks ago I could have used it for a presentation I did.  Basically I wouldn’t be sad if this was under the Christmas tree because I probably wouldn’t buy it for myself.

Sous Vide Precision Cooker – Great gift and a GREAT price.  These are usually much more expensive than this especially since this one is blue tooth.

Selfie Ring Light – This would be a fun gift for someone who is hard to buy for.  Finding the right light when taking a selfie isn’t always easy.  This will definitely give you that gorgeous glow.

Portable Oven – This is cool especially for someone who works in an office and is trying not to eat out or stay on a diet.  I can think of several teachers who could put this to good use.

Guac Lock – This is perfect for bringing things to parties and can be used for a lot more than just guacamole.

Don’t fret if you still have people on your list.  There is still time to shop.  Get on it today and enjoy the rest of your week.

XO,

Tippy

Welcome to Halloween week. We have so many fun thi Welcome to Halloween week. We have so many fun things planned. #halloween #halloqueen #meangirls
I’ve always wanted to do a Carrie costume. I have I’ve always wanted to do a Carrie costume. I have a list of costumes on my phone that I’ve been filtering through each year and Carrie was top. I knew I wanted this to be beaded and that would require a lot of time so i waited for a year I knew I had time to commit. 

So, rewind to July. Yes, July. I got the dress and took it to my backyard where I poured acrylic paint and water on it while standing on a ladder to make the splatter look right. @fusilierkate came over for a rhinestone consultation so I could visualize a plan. I distinctly remember her saying, you aren’t going to rhinestone all the way to the bottom, right?  And at the time that sounded like a crazy idea…. 

I laid 8,000 individual rhinestones. 

But my commitment to the plot is unmatched and since I had time I beaded the whole thing in ss20 Siam rhinestones. I used a few appliqués, mesh loaded with stones to fill larger spaces, just to make the workload a little lighter and to add some visual difference in the pattern. Remember we wanted this to look like dried blood so it needed texture and angles so it didn’t just look like a pretty dress. 

I also went back and forth about the headpiece. Initially I thought I was going to do a bucket suspended above my head but I saw a lot of reference photos with that already so I went a different direction with the tiara and veil. Again texture and layers. 

Last came the bucket. I had to free hand the blood with a sharpie. An artist I am not so this was probably the most difficult part. I lined it with tulle and strings of rhinestones so I could dump in on my head during the costume content. #preformanceart 

Overall I could not be happier with how it turned out. She will be available for rent when I fix a few minor pieces I broke off Friday night. Let me know if you would be interested. 

PS thank you to @30byninety theater for allowing me to use their Zombie Prom set as the background for my shoot. It was perfection. As always @skylarkuhn_ @skylartheriotphotography gave me some beautifully shot images. 

Already working on my next idea.
