Good morning and welcome to the end of October! I’m sharing some random new fun things I’ve found lately. It’s been a busy week with work and other than going to early vote and getting a hair cut, I haven’t done much else. We will likely stay in this weekend and that sounds good to me. Once this weekend passes, everyone will be in full on holiday mode, whatever that looks like this year.

Something fun– there’s a big sweepstake for some great things for the holidays through Jane.com, Treetopia, and Bright Cellars. One lucky winner will receive a Christmas tree and décor product from Treetopia (up to $500 value), $200 Jane.com credit, a $150 gift card to Blickenstaffs, a $250 gift card to DesignWorks Ink, a $250 gift card to SheFinds, a $400 gift card to MantraBand, a $400 gift card to Antonym Cosmetics, and a $500 gift card to TheraBox.

For bloggers– I use Tailwind to schedule pins and instagram posts. Pinterest is a great source of traffic for my blog but I don’t have time to pin posts constantly. Using Tailwind helps me schedule out pins at optimal times. I had a good Pinterest strategy until this month. My Pinterest traffic dropped and I mean, it tanked. It decreased over 50%. Pinterest is mostly interested in fresh content which means they don’t want you pinning the same thing over and over to multiple boards. I seriously thought about giving up on Pinterest because the recent traffic wasn’t worth the time it takes to create pins and I can’t constantly create new “fresh” pins for my content.
Tailwind comes to the rescue again. Tailwind now has a new feature called Tailwind Create. You give them your photo and a pin title, and they generate multiple pin designs in just a few seconds! I’m in love, and I’m back in the Pinterest game again. I changed up my strategy and started using Tailwind create and I’m seeing an increase in Pinterest traffic again this week.
Take a look at how it works:
If you aren’t using Tailwind, sign up now! If you are a member, or once you become a member, you can do a Create plan upgrade to a higher tier for 50% off and lock in that price for the lifetime of your membership. I’m in love with Tailwind Create and it’s already a game changer for me.
For the house Isn’t this the cutest? I keep watching it on Amazon and I think it needs to be on my kitchen counter.
Don’t forget to check out the Cents of Style sales and Jane finds I shared here.
Here are more fun Jane finds:
I’m smitten with this sweater. Anything with a little detail always gets my attention. Love the back.
Speaking of details- contrast always gets me too. Love this contrast leopard top.
If camo is your jam over leopard, check out all the fun camo at Jane– hoodies and color block contrast tops are calling me.
Check out these cozy chenille socks! I’m for anything chenille and these would make great stocking stuffers or gifts. These Christmas and teacher pocket pot holders would make great inexpensive gifts too. You can stuff more gifts in the pocket.
