In 2026 it is easy to feel like breast cancer is a beatable disease. And a lot of the time it is. But we have to be careful not to let that thinking make us forget that people are still dying from it. This past year our friend group has felt her absence in ways that are hard to put into words.

I am a busy person, and I do not always prioritize my health the way I should but this summer I booked my mammogram and I made sure not to reschedule it.

It is never a fun experience. But St. Tammany Women’s Pavilion does a beautiful job; the atmosphere is calm, the robes are warm, and they make something uncomfortable feel a little more manageable.

If you take one thing from this post let it be this.  Get checked. Make early detection a priority. If your provider is recommending a preventative screening, then get it done. Your health is your wealth. Not just because you want to live a long life but because you want the quality of that life to be worth living. Early detection saves lives.

Every time I bring up hashtags someone tells me th Every time I bring up hashtags someone tells me they do not work anymore.

Here is my take. Hashtags are still live on Instagram and they are still one of the main ways people search through the platform. Until Instagram tells us they are done I am going to keep using them, intentionally.

What has changed is how you should be using them.

Instagram has officially capped hashtags at 5 per post. Instagram made this change deliberately because stuffing 20 to 30 generic tags into every post was not serving anyone. Hashtags are no longer a reach tool. They are a clarity tool that helps the algorithm understand what your content is about.

5 intentional hashtags beat 30 random ones every single time.

Here is how to pick yours:

-Think about your niche, your audience, and your location
-Think about what someone would actually search — not what you would call your post
-A clown costume post might use #halloweencostume or #cosplay instead of #clowncostume because that is what someone searching for inspiration is actually typing

One more thing most people are missing. Instagram is leaning heavily into SEO and keyword search now. The words in your caption are doing work that hashtags used to do. Write descriptively and use natural language your audience would actually search. The algorithm is reading your words so give it something to work with.

Save this before you write your next post.

This is part one of two. Today we are talking about gift guides for creators. Next Tuesday we are talking about gift guides for retail businesses and small business owners. Save both.

	•	Lives on your blog with its own URL so you own it and it keeps working long after the holidays
	•	Gives you content to distribute across every platform including two Pinterest pins per guide — one to your LTK post and one to your blog
	•	Opens the door to add gift guides as a bonus deliverable in brand collab pitches — and yes, services count too

Mackenzie and Me BOGO Sale

Twice a year, January and July, stores start having the most epic sales.  All of us are awaiting the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale but in the mean time we cannot let the deals pass us up.  Stores are making room for fall inventory and Mackenzie and Me in Covington is one of them.

If you haven’t been inside Mackenzie and Me you need to know that Mackenzie Millet comes from a long line of amazing women business owners who have fashion in their genes.  She has an eye for style and her taste is spot on.  I always walk away with two or three things when I leave her store.  Mackenzie and Me is also your go to shop for denim.  She carries a variety of price points and her denim is quality and affordable.  There is no one else in the area offering denim like Mackenzie.

She called me on Monday and asked me if I would do a little sneak peak of the store before her sale that starts today and will extend through Saturday.  The entire store, yes I said the entire store, is buy one get one 50% off (excluding the white denim).  She told me today that she has some amazing things coming for the fall and they are making room on the shelves.  I was a good friend and helped her with this by taking two shirts, two skirts and a cover up off her hands this morning.

Honestly there is so much good stuff it is incredible but I went through and made a few outfits to share with you guys.

Two Piece Set

Pool Time

LWD

Picnic Chic

Matchy-Matchy

Mix And Match

Red, White and Blue

 

Y’all do not miss this sale!  You have from now until Saturday afternoon to get there.  If you can’t get to the store check out their instagram and mine and you can call in to order.

XO,

Tippy
