It's Day 2 of the Cozy Creative audio series. Have you been listening along?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today we talked about NOURISHMENT.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Food, yes, but also everything you consume. From the things we watch, read, listen to, and the people we spend time with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A quick search of "nourishment" will pop up lots of information on nutrition, but the kind of nourishment we're talking about is *holistic* nourishment - body, mind, and soul.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nourishing ourselves is all the ways better equips us to for creating, running a business, fulfilling our other responsibilities, maintaining our relationships, and taking care of our mental wellness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How are you nourishing yourself this week? (recipes in stories by the way!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm spending a little extra time in nature, looking for beautiful things to photograph. 🙂

PS: There's a few days left to grab the Pretty Social bundle at 47% off! Link in bio for details. 😊

What is the difference between social media photos

What is the difference between social media photos and product listing photos? 🤔

These gorgeous images from my student @thesagehaven are a perfect example of the differences between social media images and product listing photos, which is something that comes up ALL the time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The one on the left sets such a mood! It makes me feel like curling up in a cozy corner under a window with a good book, the light of this beautiful candle flickering away beside me. (And a glass of wine!) That’s pretty awesome for a photo and it’s a great example of a product social media image. Can we see all the details of the design? No, but we’re not meant to. We’re meant to feel something, to be able to “see” this candle in our own life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The image on the right is a fantastic example of a product listing photo. It’s still a really beautiful photo, but the design details are clear. It’s a crisp, clean image that shows you exactly what this candle looks like. You know what you’re getting and can feel confident about what to expect when you buy it! Which is the whole point of product listing photos - to show your buyer all the details of your product.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe 👉 for tips on how to rock your social media photos!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope that helps take some of the mystery out of social media images vs product listing photos. Now go out there and take some gorgeous shots of your own work!

Are you embracing the difference between social media photos and product listing photos?

They often hold hands like this, as they walk toge

They often hold hands like this, as they walk together. It reduces me to mush every time.

Hey, can we hang out next week?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leading up to the season, I've been thinking a lot about what you folks need from me this time of year.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know how busy you all are, hustling to fill orders and prepare for craft markets. And the last thing you need is to be given MORE to do, am I right?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead I thought... What if I could just give you something to listen to while you work? Be there in spirit with you, cheering you on? And maybe reminding you to take extra care of yourself, like I would a friend?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, friend... Each day next week, I'll be releasing a very special audio series on the Bold Company podcast channel.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Cozy Creative audio series is less about the great big business goals, and a lot more about the quality of life goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There will be snippets of books and poems I love, podcast and playlist recommendations, and words of wisdom on how you can holistically care for your self, your relationships, and your creativity during this hectic time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't wait to share the Cozy Creative audio series with you. Will you be tuning in? ❤️
