Why I’m Not Sweating the Instagram Algorithm Anymore

Let’s talk about a hot button issue for bloggers, brands, and influencers: Instagram! Between the unpopular algorithm replacing chronological order, Stories and other new features, Instagram remains one of the most talked about topics for many businesses. Today I’m sharing the frustrations I’ve had and the things I’ve started to do instead of just being annoyed by it.

I’ll admit it, when the algorithm first got introduced I was super frustrated. Over time, I’ve accepted that this is the new way and learned to better prioritize my time when it comes to growing my following and strengthening my online presence.

How to Make Your Work Outfit Halloween Ready

Y’all I missed one post and then that turned into two posts last week and things kind of snowballed. {Why is that always the case?} I had a post all ready to go Monday but to be honest when I woke up and heard the news about Las Vegas, I had no desire to hit publish or promote new content. I hope those of you affected by the tragic events know that I’m thinking of you and those of you that weren’t but are watching are practicing self-care during this emotionally difficult time.

Today I’m back and since it’s the first Wednesday of the month, which means I’m teaming up with my How I Style It ladies! This month we’re all embracing October by sharing looks inspired by Halloween. I wanted to share an easy DIY Chill Pill costume that’s appropriate for the office and easy to assemble.
