Aughhhhhhhh! It’s September!! I missed last Friday so let’s call this the Tuesday Five.
If you caught me on Social Media Club LA, you’ll know that I represented the “freelancers” in a debate last month. We talked about the pros and cons and ins and outs of freelancing, working in-house and working at an agency.
Let’s get on with it.
Who Won the Internet
5. Gilmore Girls merchandise – And so it begins…. I found these four t-shirts on Cents of Style and I ask you, where is the TEAM LORELAI shirt? ‘Cus I don’t like any of these dudes.
I kind of want this sweatshirt. I’m pretty sure my friend Lisa is on-board too. My birthday is this month….
I’ll be perusing Etsy as the show gets closer and closer to airdate! My friend Lisa wrote a funny post about the upcoming 4-part reunion. She even has a dedicated Instagram for the event!!
4. My side business (Rodan + Fields) – It’s been 8 months since I’ve started this side business and I’ve seen some crazy transformations. I have found that Facebook Live videos work well – as in, I get a lot of views and inquiries. As any business person will tell you, it takes at least 7-10 touches before someone converts, so live video is another touch. Try it for your own brand!
3. Affirmations. I like this list. Read it. Commit to at least one of these affirmations and let me know how it works out for you. The original blog post is by Corinne Dobbas, RD, who coincidentally helped me with my gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with Spawn. She’s built an even larger following since I’ve talked to her, more than two years ago! Kudos to her and her success!
2. HBO Go. It has taken me years to go back to watching Game of Thrones. I wanted to finish book 2 (A Clash of Kings) but it was boring AF. I have no love for Theon Greyjoy’s storyline, which takes up a bajillion pages. So I skipped all of Season 2 of the show. I feel great about that choice. In the last week, I’ve been able to stream the rest of Game of Thrones and I’m almost up to speed. No worries about spoilers, y’all. I know what happens. Thanks, high speed internet.
1. Articles you might want to read – I bookmarked a lot of articles and found them helpful or entertaining or both. Here you go!
- AJ graciously reviewed her experience at Au Fudge. I have a toddler, and I don’t think I want to go there.
- Alyssa is considering weight loss surgery. I know a few longtime friends who have done this and they all seem to be happy they did it.
- Melissa took a blogging hiatus and became a certified yoga teacher. I know, right? The amount of commitment to do this, run her other business and take care of her kid and go on vacation? Good god.
There you go! Happy short week!!
