Addicted to Social Media?

This article really speaks to me. It outlines 25 signs indicating you need a vacation from social media. I am guilty of the following:

• You enter a new place or social situation and you immediately judge whether it’s Instagram-worthy.

• You speak in hashtags. For example, “I totally just fell down the stairs. Hashtag —fail,” or “I ate too many donuts today. Hashtag—first world problems.”

• You’re starting to resent the frequency with which you type the phrases, “check out,” “click here,” and “for more details.”

• You’re frustrated when you see low engagement on your most important personal status updates.

• When you go out to eat, your food is always cold because you’ve just Instagrammed it into oblivion.

• You come up with ideas for posts while hanging out with your friends. You immediately start texting yourself future post ideas.

• You’ve used “Ermahgerd!” when speaking with your parents.

I think we’re all in the same boat right? #bloggerproblems

Playing Hooky

Sometimes it’s necessary to take a day off from my real job to flip through magazines, browse my favorite blogs and nurse a pomegranate mimosa. It’s the perfect way to enjoy some downtime before the holiday hype.
