Weekend {Social Media} Cleanse

August 1, 2014 by Hillary 4 Comments

This weekend I am taking a much-needed break from all computer screens and having some quality down time with my mama/best friend (note: I wrote this post before the weekend commenced).

Between corporate wellness work, Nutrition Nut work, and the IIN program, I am in front of a screen too many hours of every day. I looove social media, and I see the benefits in using multiple channels, especially when blogging for business; but sometimes, it’s just too much unnecessary info in front our eyes – too much for our brains to process.

Recently, I noticed that a few of my social media accounts could use some dusting, if you will, to clean up the cluttered spaces with information that doesn’t interest me. Frankly, a lot of the photos and articles are nearly identical, just tweaked slightly.

If not this weekend, some weekend, try one or all of these simple tips for a clean sweep of your space on the Internet:

duck

1 // Un-like Facebook Pages

…(just not Nutrition Nut!) that you ignore subconsciously. If you always skip over their posts, why have them hog your feed?

FB

2 // Freshen-up Your Following Lists

Is your Twitter feed buzzin’ at 200 tweets per minute? How many of those do you actually read? Are you following Instagram accounts that may be harming your self-esteem? Is your Pinterest page full of house decor that is gosh-awful ugly? Take 10-20 minutes to rethink which accounts you enjoy following; you’ll most likely never miss 10 tweeters you started following in 2009.

3 // Un-subscribe to E-mail Lists

…that you delete without opening. For example, if you are an online shopper, you most likely get floods of e-mails daily about deals and sales.

4 // Organize Your Inbox

Sunday evening, clean up your inbox. Flag e-mails that need to be responded to, archive e-mails to appropriate folders, and delete the rest! Come Monday morning, you won’t be overwhelmed with junk mail.

    What a great idea, have so much fun staying away from technology this weekend and hanging with your mom!

    I know that we talked about this earlier this week, but I couldn’t agree more that I spend too much time in front of the computer and on social media. Sometimes I’ll just put my computer, tablet, and phone away for the night, and it’s such a nice break!

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
