✨ Take Back Control of Your Social Media! ✨

It’s easy to get frustrated and overwhelmed by what we see on social media each day. Studies are showing that social media use can lead to low self-esteem, depression, body-image issues, anxiety, social isolation...the list goes on.

The fact that social media can be a positive environment where we connect with others, learn new things, and engage with our community is often overshadowed by the negativity we see in our feeds every day.

Sometimes all we need is a little break to re-center and re-charge (pun intended!).

Here are some tips for taking control and settting boundaries of your social media to boost your overall wellness.

Grab a friend and try one of these strategies over the next few days:

📱Put your phone down and out of reach

👀 Set limits by tracking your social media time (try from social media 1 hour a day / 1 day a week / 1 week out of the year)

🤫 Turn off ALL notifications on your smartphone or enable the “Do Not Disturb” feature

🙅🏻‍♀️ Set “Smartphone Free Zones” at home, during mealtime, etc.

😴 Limit smartphone use before bed (bright lights and technology can prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep)

❌ Delete social media apps from your phone and only keep them on a laptop or tablet

☀️ Spend time in nature without checking or posting to social media!

We haven’t had a new addition to the Scammer Slammer in awhile! Welcome, “Bryan Luwis”!

The scary thing with this one is we have 25 mutual friends!! 👀

It’s important to know how to quickly identify a scammer online, especially with the holidays right around the corner.

Here are a few red flags to look for:
🚩 common name
🚩 “widowed”
🚩 works at “US military” or an “oil rig”
🚩 quickly asks you to chat on WhatsApp or another app
🚩 Friends List: very few friends, and if they do have friends they are often from a foreign country
🚩 Photos: very few and often look very “staged”
🚩 Timeline activity: little to no posting —- click on the people who have interacted with any of their posts; more than likely they’re also from a foreign country

🙋🏻‍♀️ If you are EVER curious or unsure if you’re dealing with a scammer or not, contact me and I’ll be happy to help!

We can add them to the Scammer Slammer together 💪🏽❤️

And don’t forget….
❌ Never send money oe gift cards
❌ Never give personal information

Another Amazon Find 🗿
*insert hair flip here*

I’m here to tell you that clip-in ponytails are a game-changer, y’all!! Especially when life is so crazy busy, and you just need a lil extra SASS and BAD@SS in your day. ✨💗

I started wearing these when I was growing out my hair, and I always got lots of compliments. I also got a lot of strange looks when I would unclip it and say. “Isn’t this cool?” 😂

Bonus: it’s under $15, comes in a variety of hair colors and lengths, and is super easy to take care of

10/10 recommend.
