Hi Friends and Followers!  You may have noticed I moved from Tumblr to WordPress.  It just works much better and helps me post more detailed notes and photos for your reading pleasure.

Today I’d like to take a step back from recipes (GETTING TOO HOT IN THE KITCHEN AS MY AIRCONDITIONING UNIT BARELY COOLS ME DOWN WHEN IM STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT), and move towards social media ideas.  Have you ever seen someone’s original post that they took from somewhere off the internet, and thought to yourself, “Hey why didn’t I think of that?” or “No one looks at my Facebook or Twitter and comments or even “likes” my postings! What gives?”  Say that to yourself NO MORE ladies, because I have tips and ideas to get you started. See below for three TOTALLY different examples for your feelings on  different days.  Remember, we are strong women and we have lots of feelings to post on the internet.

TYPE I – PHOTO WITH TEXT

If you’re feeling like you want to make a statement that reflects your feelings and thoughts about life in general take an inspiring quote from a famous person, and post it over a photo.

1. Google the person’s name in the search bar with the word “quotes” and then highlight the quote you like best and hit “copy” – be sure to be selective as to who you search and which quote to select, so as to accurately convey your feelings. For example, if you just got dumped, take this quote from Marilyn Monroe –

“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”

2. Next, search for a photo of a sunset, landscape or a  cocoon turning into a butterfly.

3. Then past the text symbolically in the photo and voila! You have an inspiring quote over a peaceful photo to share on your page, and share your feelings with the world.

TYPE II – A PHOTO OF A HANDWRITTEN NOTE ABOUT YOUR POLITICAL BELIEFS

Social media is a great way to share your political beliefs! Here’s a cute an interesting way to share them

1. Think hard about a political issue that is important to you. If you’ve thought long and hard, and still come up with nothing, then, look on Facebook to see what your friends are posting and post something similar.

2. Get out a piece of paper and hand write a note about how you work hard and are the 99% or how our healthcare system has failed you, yet you still work for a living.  Make it personal! If you make lots of money from your parents trust fund and don’t want to pay extra taxes because your parents worked hard for that money, say it! If you kicked on of those dirty  hippies protesting the 1%, tell us that story! Let us get to know Y-O-U, YOU.

3. Have someone take a photo of you holding your note, and BE SURE to peek your head out from behind the note with a little smile. That lets your readers know that you STAND behind your beliefs, cutely.

TYPE III – A PHOTO OF A QUOTE THAT YOU DREW OR PAINTED ON SOMETHING ABOUT HOME AND/OR FAMILY

Are things not going so well at home?  Are you and the “hubs” not getting along, do you feel like he sees through you?  Maybe you’re jealous of your single friends, who come and go as they please, sleep in till noon and aren’t driving six kids to soccer practice every damn day?  Well for Christ’s sake, don’t let anyone on the internet know!  Do the opposite, make people think you’re living the dream and they should be jealous of YOU.  Then when people comment, they’ll say things like “Oh you have the perfect family!” and those comments will help fill the emptiness inside of you.

1. Get yourself some paint, or sidewalk chalk that your kids didn’t put away AGAIN

2. Search for a quote on the internet about family or home and drawing parallels between gardening, growing etc. Something like, “Your family grows where you water your garden” or something simliar.  Pinterest is FULL of them! You’ll have a successful search there.

3. Paint that quote on a rock, or draw it on the sidewalk with chalk*

4. Take a picture of it, and post it on the ‘net. This will let your friends know that not only are you crafty, but your family life is perfect.

*careful with the sidewalk chalk, don’t let your tears smudge it or wash it away.

There you have it, ladies, ALL the tools you need to start your social media statements.

Happy posting!
