Selfie

TGIF!! So being in the blogging world social media is something we all have become VERY familiar with and for most of us it is safe to say we have become addicted! In honor of the new ABC show Selfie, premiering this Tuesday Sept 30th, I decided to take a little social media cleanse for 24 hours! To be honest, I was kind of dreading it, thinking it would be very difficult! I mean, what am I going to do with all my free time?! So I decided to go headfirst! I prewrote my blog post for the day and kept my phone in my purse only for emergencies! And actually, it felt really good!! I got more work done for the day, my mind was clear, and it was just super relaxing! Then when I got home I had the whole night to myself! I threw on some comfy clothes and my husband and I took a long evening stroll with our girl, Abbey. With our busy schedules, she usually gets a quick walk! To say the least, Abbey was in Heaven! When we got back I got to catch up on some shows and got to bed early for once!
ABC’s Selfie is about a social media crazed girl, Eliza, that gets into a little bit of trouble when an embarrassing video of her gets leaked onto the internet! She finally realizes she needs to revamp her image and start living in the moment with the help of a marketing expert played by John Cho (from Harold and Kumar so you know it’s going to be funny!)
I enjoyed this social media cleanse so much, that I am going to make it a point to do it once a month and I encourage all of you to give it a try! Trust me it feels good! :) So let’s all live in the moment and don’t forget to tune in on Tuesday Sept 30th 8pm/7pm central for the premiere of Selfie! <3

    Beautiful photos. Love your tank. Cleansing like that is really good. I’m a live-in-the-moment kind of girl and I usually push social media till last minutes or alone time.

    I really want to do that – but I do it a little different – just don’t take my phone when we go to dinner and if I need a picture my husband takes it lol! I can only imagine how happy your pup was having you all to herself!! Oh my gosh love the joggers from F21 – so cute!!! Hope you have a great weekend! xo

    I was just saying the other day, how I felt I needed to just disconnect from the internet and my phone for a little while! I guarantee it must have felt amazing! You look adorable btw!!

    Hope you have a great weekend, love!

    that is so awesome – I sometimes go almost all day without checking social media, but rarely. maybe i need to unplug more! i cant wait for selfie, i’m a huge karen gillan fan (the girl, Eliza). Your dog is so freaking cute!

    I’ve been leaving my phone at home more often lately and trying to take a little step back, it’s been refreshing :) Love the look, and your sweet pup!

    I could never do a social media free day during the weekday! I have to do something to entertain myself at work :) But I could definitely do without it on the weekends! Abbey is so adorable!! I love her!

    We could all deffinitly use a social media cleanse and sound so perfect, we’re also so looking forward to selfie. It looks like it’s going to be way too hysterical.

    Oh my gosh, Hulu had the premier up early, I think it was the last week of August, and I loved it!!! I think I’m going to watch it again on Tuesday. :) I didn’t realize I was watching it early, though, and thought there were more episodes, so I’ve been anxiously awaiting it’s actual release! And a social media cleanse is a great idea. I generally try and stay off of social media more on weekends, but I never seem to make it the whole day…

    I was very intrigued to read this post after seeing it on your Insta! It gets so hard to find the balance between being present in social media for your blog and living in the moment. good job on taking 24 hours off!!

    You look beautiful! And love that you included your pup in there! And I really should have a social media cleanse. That would be beneficial, I think. Have a great weekend!

    A social media cleanse sounds good. I do have boundaries in place though to stop me spending way too much time there. Love your casual look especially your stunning sandals.

  49. Window On My Wardrobe says

    You are totally right, I really need a break from social media from time to time!
    You look so comfy and relaxed in this outfit, and your dog is super cute, gorgeous pictures of the two of you!

    I just saw a trailer for that, it looks pretty interesting!

    Your pup is just so sweet! And, of course, your outfit is lovely! :)

    A photo of you with the dog is just too adorable! I miss my 16 years old dog so much because now im in UK while he’s in Bangkok,Thailand. I can’t wait to go back and give him a really big hug!

    ABC Selfie sounds like a good show and I can imagine how hilarious it would be with John Cho. I think a social media cleanse sounds like a great idea! We really need to unplug ourselves from social media once in a while to feel connected back to the real world. I’m glad your Abbey got the walk of her life with your unplugging that day.

    Thank you for your comment on my blog a while back. I love seeing newcomers around and I hope we continue to stay in touch.

    Thank you for sharing this! I’ve seen this on blogs lately and I know how consumed we are with social media. Although we HATE to be away from our phones and such, it’s always refreshing to be without it and taking in the beauty of the world instead of the cyber world. You look great by the way and Abbey is so cute!

    I love doing social media cleanses! They are so refreshing. Sometimes it’s just nice to step away every once in awhile and be present
