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.

Embrace Your Swimsuit Confidence: Poses for Poolside Photos

Before diving into our main discussion, let’s address the elephant in the room: wearing your swimsuit. Yes, you read it right – just wear it. Embrace your beauty, your hotness (quite literally under the sun), and savor these moments while they last.

So, wear. Your. Swimsuit.

Don’t let your reservations about your body hold you back from enjoying life to the fullest.

Now, picture this: you’re all set to hit the pool, but then someone suggests taking some photos. Suddenly, panic sets in. You’re already out of your comfort zone in your swimsuit, and now the thought of being photographed in it amplifies your anxiety. What should you do?

Firstly, it’s crucial to understand that being confident in your appearance doesn’t mean you shouldn’t aim to look your best in photos. Wanting to showcase yourself in the best light is natural – it’s about feeling empowered and comfortable in your own skin.

Here are four simple poses that can help you feel more confident and flatter your body shape in poolside photos, regardless of your level of confidence:

Pop Your Knee

This one is easy and can be applied to any outfit you are wearing. Just bend one knee and slightly tilt it toward the center of your body. I have big thighs and if there was an area I would like to camouflage it would be my inner thigh. This is an easy way to showcase the better side of your leg. This also tightens your muscle and makes you leg look tighter.

Best Foot Forward

Same principle as bending your knee except this will make your leg look longer. Pictures that are taken straight on are rarely the best angle, so this helps give a slight shift to your frame. If you take this picture from a lower angle it is going to make you look taller and gorgeous.

Kneeling

I know sitting in a swimsuit may seem scary so we are going to give you another option. I love kneeling. It also works if you are taking pics with someone who is already sitting. Spread your knees ever so slightly apart.

In the water

Standing on the stairs where the water hits you on your hip is such a cute way to pose. You are still showcasing your suit but it may be a more comfortable position for you. Also, a down angle is never a bad shot for your face so standing on the step and having someone photograph you down at a slight angle is a good trick.

In conclusion, embracing your swimsuit confidence isn’t just about wearing the garment – it’s about owning it with pride and enjoying every moment, both in person and in photographs. Remember, your beauty transcends any perceived imperfections, and these simple poses can help you showcase your confidence and radiance for the world to see.

So go ahead, wear your swimsuit, strike a pose, and make memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. You deserve it!

You are beautiful!

XO,

Tiffany

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.
