IN FEBRUARY ON INSTAGRAM:: The Revive Conference was put on by the Junk in the Trunk gals! I chatted about Instagram and City Moms Blog co-founder Stephanie spoke about Community. We also had some of our West Valley gals and contributors in attendance! It was a great way to build a local network. Our West Valley Moms on Instagram have also been busy…
Here you can see West Valley gals representing at The Glitter Academy by @eclectic_mommy, a couple of snaps at Revive by @citymomsblog and @hautalacouture, some outdoor fun by @jillybean526, some science fun at ASU by @cleverpirate, a trip to Out of Africa by @craftyvanessa, frozen yogurt trip by @photosbyandrea, gorgeous outdoor scenes by @aplaceforus and a fun mud run by @momendeavors! As always, if you’re doing something fun around the West Valley, we want you to tag us at #westvalleymoms!
#PHOTOADAY! Have you heard of #PHOTOADAY? It’s a fun way to share a picture on platforms such as Instagram every day. Chantelle of FatMumSlim provides the prompts for the popular #FMSPhotoaday project. Here’s a quick overview of how to play, and here’s the list for March!
APP HIGHLIGHT! Each month we highlight a fun photo app that you can use in conjunction with Instagram.
The app highlight for this month is the AfterGlow for the iPhone. AfterGlow is a great app for adding fun filters to your photos. Sometime’s it’s nice to have filter choices outside of Instagram! It’s also my app of choice for custom frames. If you see pictures shaped like hearts, circles, diamonds or other fun frames, it’s likely that the user used AfterGlow! And at just $.99, the app is well worth the investment! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
BE FEATURED! Remember if you’re doing something fun in the West Valley, attending a special event, visiting a local landmark, or just want to share what you’re up to with other West Valley Moms…be sure to TAG US! In the comments of your photos, tag us with #westvalleymoms or @westvalleymoms for a chance of a “shoutout” or feature from our account or on the blog! Each month we’ll be rounding up tagged photos to feature YOU! Hope to see you around on Instagram!
