Comments, oh the power they hold. We always want comments. We want to feel like people care about what we’re putting out into the world. On an instagram post the more comments correlate to your ‘popularity’ in a sense. We love to feel supported and have that validation that our content is good, but is that validation really worth the hate that can come with it? Hate comments have a real effect on people and their mental health. Major youtubers, social media influences, and many more have closed their comment sections, so that they can keep the hate comments from accumulating on their platforms. I have never received a hate…

This last week I got to receive feedback from one of my classmates. I have had really bad luck with the last two peer reviews as the people I was partnered with didn’t do a review on me, so I was never able to hear what they had to say about my site and make improvements. I was excited to see what my peer had to say (if I’m being honest I thought he was going to love everything about it), and to be totally transparent with you guys I found it challenging taking his feedback as constructive criticism. I have made myself extremely vulnerable by making my website so…

I feel like I am really getting the hang of this blogging thing. I’m getting in a good routine, and I like the content I’m putting out there. My site is coming together. The contents there, the aesthetic and look of the site is what I want, but there is a lack of readers. Although I didn’t create this blog for millions of viewers, it would be nice to have people read and follow what I put out there. It has come to my attention that I need to utilize SEO. I have found this challenging because before this last week I had no idea what SEO was. All I…

Flowerbomb
If you don’t have a perfume that you absolutely love then you need to go get Flowerbomb perfume by Victor & Rolf. I fell in love with the scent when I was in sephora one day, and I’ve been wearing it everyday since. I’ve received so many compliments from people about the scent. It’s nothing crazy, and I think that’s what makes it so intoxicating. It’s a subtle flowery scent, but it’s still strong enough to know that you’re wearing something. It also lasts a whole day, which a lot of my previous perfumes would never last that long. This sophisticated scent is a must have for all women!

Kiss Me Lashes
I have only worn false lashes a handful of times, and when I have worn them I never applied them myself. Last week I had a function to attend, so I asked my friend who’s a makeup artist what lashes she recommends and she gave me a great list to go off of. From Walmart I picked up the Kiss Me lashes for $10. I absolutely loved how they looked. They were whimsical and made my eyes pop. I found them pretty easy to apply, and they didn’t feel heavy on the eyes or anything. I’d definitely recommend you to get these lashes if you’ve been wanting to try falsies…

Analytics (Google, Facebook, Twitter etc.) is a very valuable tool for building your audience. For content creators, knowing how your reader behaves on your website can help enormously with developing the best content, posting at the right time, and developing the appropriate engagement strategies. On the flip side, for the reader or user, it can be tiresome and even worrisome knowing you are providing data trails every where you go online. I find it easy to get mesmerized by the analytics of the people viewing my content. My first exposure to this side of being a content creator was a couple years ago when instagram provided its users with the…

Kill ‘Em With Kindness
I was on a work call the other day where my boss was talking about how we are expected to interact with our customers. The customers often don’t agree with or are not happy about how my boss runs his business. His piece of advice for myself and my coworkers as we are the ones who talk with the customers, is to kill them with kindness. I honestly think this is one of the most underused tactics in life. We so often are set on proving that we are right or winning the argument that we forget that the easiest and usually best approach is to just be kind. In…

The time has finally come. Artificial Intelligence is taking over. I have always been a skeptic of AI and its capabilities, but I can no longer deny how far technology has come. Although I think it is amazing all that AI’s like DALL-E2 and ChatGDT can do, it does frighten me a bit. Used as a tool, I think these AI’s can do a lot of great things, but I think there’s a fine line between what we should have the AI do for us, and what we should do ourselves. As soon as the AI starts thinking for us, the use of AI is wrong. People have fought for…

Digital media is a central component of the world we live in today. We get entertainment from it, and also receive our news from it. Now more than ever though it seems like our entertainment comes from news stories. People seem to be more driven by the number of views they can receive than the accuracy of what they’re saying, and that has given way to false news. James Bridle addresses this notion in his article Something is wrong with the internet. In it Bridle says that a “a way of increasing hits on videos is through keyword/hashtag association, which is a whole dark art unto itself” (2017, para. 18).…
