Introducing the Social Sisters Podcast!


If you have been staying up to date on my recent blogs, you will know that I manage the ELM Photography Instagram account. This account was created a little over a year ago as a digital portfolio of my work. I figured that having an Instagram account would give me the opportunity to share my work with other people and give me more opportunities to take photos for other occasions. 

Recently, I discovered that one of my closest friends, Allayna Reiff, also runs her own professional social media channels. She is an avid gym-goer who creates motivational content under the handle @workout_withallayna. I began following Allayna the moment I saw she created the account. Since then, I have seen a variety of inspirational posts that have even encouraged me to regularly go to the gym again (thanks, Allayna!).

When we were asked to create a podcast for our Principles of Social Media class, I knew that there was no other person to do this project with. Allayna and I partnered together over our appreciation for social media and how it can be used to build up small businesses to form the Social Sisters podcast. 

The first episode of our new podcast would not be complete without inviting our dear friend and talented social media influencer Anna Kate Jackson to be interviewed. Despite being a full-time college student with a busy schedule, Anna Kate has managed to consistently post high-quality content.

I have never hosted a podcast before, and I had a great time collaborating with Allayna to put this project together. If you would like to support our channel and listen to the podcast on Spotify, visit the link here. It was definitely a learning curve to figure out how to record high-quality audio and to sound natural despite our nerves (and our hatred of listening to our own voices). We have quite a few bloopers saved to listen to on a bad day. We did meet before recording day to get our thoughts organized and plan out the timeline of our podcast, so I think that significantly improved the flow off our project. 

Thank you for checking out my blog and investing interest in our new podcast! You can check out Allayna’s thoughts on the podcast by checking out her blog, Allayna’s Digital Diary. She is an amazing writer and podcaster, so I highly recommend that you check out her work. I hope to see you again in the upcoming weeks!

See you next time,

Evie

Practicing My Craft

With all of the craziness that you have seen me blog about these past couple of weeks, I'm sure you are probably expecting an interesting blog I can. I have bad news to tell you. Nothing interesting has happened to me this past week. At least nothing exciting enough for me to share on this blog.  This isn't to say that I've just been sitting around in my dorm room for the past week,  being bored to death. I have been extremely busy with school work and  keeping up with my jobs. In fact, it's been a little bit overwhelming to keep track of everything. I've been trying to relax and have some down time so that I don't completely overwhelm myself with stress. I guess one piece of good news is that I recently learned that I only need to take 15 credit hours next semester. I have been doing 19 credit hours pretty much every semester here, so it'll be nice to just be able to relax and enjoy my final semester at Ohio Northern. Besides, I am probably going to be work...

Thanksgiving Break Festivities

Here we are, getting back in the regular school routine again! It seems like Thanksgiving Break went by way too quickly. I am not ready for school again, nor the end of the semester. It is crazy how the weeks go by so slowly while the semester just flew by.  Overall, the Thanksgiving holiday was very nice. It was pretty quiet since my grandfather was the only family member we hosted. I did a good amount of the cooking and baking this year with my mom. I am not really good in the kitchen, but practice makes perfect! My mom says that the only way to learn how to cook is by continuing to do it. I am honestly not sure how much of a help I truly was, maybe more of a hindrance, but my mom was incredibly patient with me. She showed me how to prepare all the meals and make sure all the consistencies and measurements were correct. A good amount of what my mom does is from memory or learned by experience; there isn’t exactly an exact recipe to follow for some of these things. In the end, the...

A Quick Weekend Trip

I decided to take an unplanned trip home this weekend. this probably doesn't seem like a big deal, and I'm sure that people do this all the time. For me, however, this is quite uncommon. This is actually the first time that I have gone home on my own when there wasn't any formal break. This is my first semester having a car on campus so I have never had the flexibility to do this before. It was honestly a lot of fun to make such a spur of the moment decision. Going home was not without purpose though. First, my family had a nice Halloween bonfire in our backyard. It was just my siblings and my parents, but it was fun to play some cheesy Halloween songs and drink apple cider on our back porch. Well, I did not drink  much of the apple cider because I may or may not have spilled it all over myself when I tripped. Another reason why I went home was because I needed to vote. I honestly forgot about absentee voting, but I prefer to go in person anyways. This was a pretty big elec...
