When I look at someone’s Instagram page for the fi When I look at someone’s Instagram page for the first time I always go straight to the highlights.

And I see one of two things. Either there are no highlights at all or there are highlights that have no real strategy behind them. Random collections, no covers, content that has nothing to do with the brand.

Your highlights are one of the first things a new visitor sees when they land on your page. They are prime real estate and most people are leaving them empty or underutilized.

Here is what your highlights should be doing for you:

-Saving content you want to live on your page longer than 24 hours
-Telling a first time visitor exactly who you are and what you do
-Organized collections that make sense — new listings, services, events, try ons
-Branded covers that make your page look polished and intentional

Every industry is different. A real estate agent should be highlighting new listings and community content. A medical practice should highlight services and testimonials. A boutique should highlight new arrivals and in store events.

And once a year go through all of them. Remove what is outdated. Keep what still reflects your brand.
Your highlights should always represent where your brand is right now.

Most people look at their Instagram insights. Not Most people look at their Instagram insights.
Not everyone knows what they are actually looking at.

I see it all the time when I sit down with clients. They know their numbers are there. They just are not sure what to do with them. So let’s fix that.

Your Instagram insights are broken down into two categories. Post insights show you how one specific piece of content performed. Account insights show you how your overall strategy is performing over time. Both matter and they answer different questions.

Here is what to pay attention to on every post:

-Views — your highest number, counts every time your content was seen including multiple views from the same account
-Reach — the number of unique accounts that saw your content, watch how much is coming from non followers
-Engagement — likes, comments, saves, and shares. Saves and shares are the most valuable
-Profile Visits — how many people were curious enough to go look at your page after seeing your content
-Follows — which posts are actually convincing people to stick around
-Audience Details — who is seeing your content and when they are most active

Here is the thing. High views with low engagement means your content is being seen but not connecting. High profile visits with low follows means something is off on your page. Go check your bio and your pinned posts.

Your insights are not just numbers. They are directions.

Decorating, Fun · April 27, 2018

Let’s Flamingle…

In the spring and summer our back patio is a haven for our family.  Outdoor movie nights, porch cocktails and breakfast on the veranda.  Its the perfect place to spend the mornings and afternoons even on the warm days.

I started thinking about this post a few months ago and really wanted to set a summer table that would be fun and vibrant.  I saw flamingo outdoor décor in many of the local shops and decided to start there.  Target dollar section really helped me get the theme going providing the plates, straws and napkins.  I filled in the rest from Home Goods, TJ Maxx and Hobby Lobby.  Whole Foods had some beautiful pineapples and lemons in stock and they tasted just as good as they looked.

This table would be perfect for a variety of events.  Mother’s Day, bridal shower, girls lunch, birthday and so many more.

My plan is to use this as our first day of summer breakfast set up.  Each year we have a big breakfast and spend the day at the pool on the first day of summer.  You may be looking at me with side eyes because hello I have all boys but the flamingos are our families favorite animal at the zoo.

Each table post I do I try to include a menu of what I would serve.  This is my menu for my flamingo tropical themed breakfast…

  • Mango Pineapple Smoothie Bowl
  • Pina Colada Pancakes
  • Coconut Mango Parfait
  • Coconut Overnight Oats

It took me months to work my way up to leg pressin It took me months to work my way up to leg pressing 160 pounds.

In the last four weeks, I dropped back to 100.

That sounds discouraging until you know the whole story.

I took two weeks completely off while we were on vacation. Then I spent another two weeks barely making it to the gym because life got busy and my knee needed a break.

Old me would have looked at that number and thought I was starting over.

Now I know better.

Progress isn’t a straight line. It’s full of vacations, injuries, busy seasons, family commitments, work deadlines, and days when your body simply needs rest.

The strongest people I know aren’t the ones who never lose momentum. They’re the ones who keep coming back.

So if you’ve ever looked at someone else’s progress and wondered why yours feels so slow, remember this: you’re only seeing a snapshot. You’re not seeing the months of consistency, the setbacks, the plateaus, or the days they had to start lighter than they wanted to.

Fitness isn’t something I’m trying to “finish.” It’s a lifelong relationship with my body. Some seasons I’ll be stronger. Some seasons I’ll simply be showing up.

Both count.

I know I’ll get back to 160.

And when I do, it’ll be because I kept going—not because I never took a break.

If you’re in a season where it feels like you’ve taken a step backward, give yourself some grace. Your journey isn’t over. It’s just another chapter.
