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.

Take me to Palm Beach

I was saving this post for today.  We are on vacation for the next few days and this dress perfectly fits my vacation mood.  Palm prints have been everywhere this season from bathing suits to tops to cover-ups and more.  I personally love it because of the vibrant green and it just feels like summer.

Just like everyone else I am excited to start wearing some fall things but we all know we still have several more months of warm weather ahead of us.  I am taking advantage of that and wearing my summer looks as long as I can.

{This post contains affiliate links.  All thoughts, ideas and choices are mine.}

This dress is out of stock but here are a few similar ones; top and dress and dress (same silhouette)  // Shoes // Bag // Earrings

So we left on vacation yesterday and today is our first full day at the pool and splash pads.  The boys were up at the crack of dawn as you can imagine waiting for the pool to open.  They are looking forward to being on the slides and in the lazy river all day.  I am looking forward to the sun and drinking a few beers.

The last few years we have waited and taken a vacation in August right before school starts and it has become a fun tradition.  It is definitely cheaper to travel in August since it is no longer peak season but it’s also something to look forward to when the summer days get long.

This year especially we were looking for something not too expensive and not too far to keep it as cheap as possible.  Disney will be coming up soon and I would rather blow our vacation budget on that.

Well I am off to the pool and to soak up the sun.  I will be doing a full post on our vacation at the end of this week so until then just keep up with my Instastory here.

XO,

Tippy

Gift guides are one of the most powerful tools a c Gift guides are one of the most powerful tools a creator has during the holiday season — and most people are not using them.

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.

Here is what a well built gift guide actually does for you as a creator:

	•	Drives affiliate revenue through platforms like LTK, ShopMy, Amazon Associates, Collective Voice, Mavely, and Howl
	•	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

Start by planning your categories. Gifts for her. Gifts under $50. Stocking stuffers. The more specific the guide the more useful it is — and useful content gets saved and shared.

The creators who win the holiday season start building now.

Save this and start planning your first guide this week.
