⁣Today marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women’s constitutional right to vote!!⠀
⠀
Let’s recognize those powerful Suffragists who organized, lobbied, marched, picketed, and protested for their right to vote and for gender equality.❤️
⠀
Fast forward to 2020 - more than 68 million women are eligible to vote!⠀
⠀
Which leads me to my next point - it’s also National Voter Registration Day. Have you registered to vote?⠀
⠀
Let’s not let the late RBG down. Our power to vote is an expression of our voice. When we vote, we have a chance to change our leadership. ⠀
⠀
So set up your Out of Office on November 3rd and make a difference. If you’re unsure how to register to vote, go to www.vote.gov to find out about registration in your state❤️ // #votingrights #votingmatters #nationalvoterregistrationday #genderequality #ruthbaderginsburg #19thamendment

⁣Here’s how to provide value in your captions:⠀
⠀
I’ve come to learn how important Instagram captions are for your engagement and the power of providing value. I’ve gained a strong loyal following over the past few years by putting more time and effort into my captions.⠀
⠀
In a world full of content, your voice behind the image can be your only defining factor setting you apart from the next influencer.⠀
⠀
So here are the three buckets I try to fit my captions in. If I have an idea for a caption, I make sure it falls into one of these buckets, therefore I’m sure it’ll provide long lasting value. ⠀
⠀
1. Educational⠀
- Providing thoughtful information is always useful. Everyone wants to know how your content can help them. Educational captions can be in the form of tutorials, DIY’s, how-to’s, news updates, or opinions.⠀
⠀
2. Entertaining/Funny/Heartwarming
- Invoking emotion through laughter or a heartwarming message can add value to your follower. A funny post that I share with my best friend always puts me in a better mood :)⠀
⠀
3. Motivational ⠀
- A motivational copy can be in the form of aspirational or inspiring messaging. Think of an uplifting quote or a story of you overcoming a challenge. You’d be surprised how many people will relate and connect with you. // #instagramtipsandtricks #socialmediatips #instagramcaptions #beigeaesthetic

⁣Maybe today you don’t say anything negative about yourself and where your life is at the moment?⠀
⠀
Instead, let’s look at everything that’s right and amplify those thoughts.⠀
⠀
What if we continue this mindset for the week? For the rest of the month?
⠀
Think about how much easier it’d be to reach your goal if you keep up this practice? Like it actually feels attainable, right? ⠀
⠀
It’s crazy how a negative mindset can hold you back from your purpose? Like for real. ⠀
⠀
So let’s say goodbye to her ✌🏻 because she brings nothing but bad energy in your life... and who invited her? No one. // #positivemindset #liveyourpurpose #falloutfits

⁣HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE UNAPOLOGETICALLY:⠀ ⠀

⁣HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE UNAPOLOGETICALLY:⠀
⠀
1. Always nourish your mind and body in a way that makes you feel good⠀
- What helps you relieve stress and brings you to your happy place? For me, it’s going on long walks with my dog or working out. No matter the method, make time for it and embrace it.⠀
⠀
⠀
2. Share you goals and what you want to achieve ⠀
- Sharing our ideas and goals will empower us to keep moving. You need your support system to encourage you and hold you accountable.⠀
⠀
⠀
3. Embrace the unknown ⠀
- This is something I’m always struggling with but you have to face what scares you. Replace the “what if” with “why not?”⠀
⠀
⠀
4. Love your uniqueness and own it⠀
- What are your quirks? What makes you weird? Don’t be ashamed of what you like, your opinions, or your sassiness. For me, I can’t help but talk to my dog in a high pitch baby voice - sorry I’m not sorry 💁🏻‍♀️⠀
⠀
⠀
5. Accept who you are, who you have become, and where your life is today⠀
- Im in my 30’s and moved in with my in-laws after our lease was up in NYC. We needed to buckle down and save for the life we want. Yes it’s like moving backwards in life stages, but I’m not ashamed. Instead, I’m vocalizing it bc sometimes we have to make sacrifices in order to move forward... and that’s 100% OK. ⠀
