Who is following me now?

I was very active in building my social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, twitter, Tumblr, google+ (when that was a thing), LinkedIn and other platforms for a number of years. My focus was primarily around energy healing, life coaching, motivation, and inspiration. It is interesting to me that since I have pulled back and reduced posts the following has continued to grow. So, I took a look at my analytics out of curiosity and for a class I am taking which required me to write this blog on what I found.

The most interesting things to me were the commonalities and vast differences between platforms. One thing that was common across all platforms was that my highest viewing times are weekdays between 12 and 3pm EST. Across all platforms except Instagram the majority of those who follow me are from the United States and are female. On Instagram, interestingly, the bulk of my followers are from India and 76% are male. Very strange. I am guessing that the posts about spiritual practices may have drawn followers from India, but I do not know.

For what I do I have found that there was no increase or decrease in my work whether I was posting actively or not so I decided to step back for now. At some point in the future as my focus evolves there may be a purpose to becoming more active again. If I do, based on what I have learned from the analytics, I would post between 12 and 3 and I would focus on building more followers in my customer demographic of women in the United States over the age of 50.

What is my jean size, really?

Finding the right size and fit for a pair of jeans feels like a never-ending quest. A pair of jeans that fits well should conform to your body shape but not be so tight that is creates body bulges and is uncomfortable. Sizing from one designer to the next and different sizing measures between countries makes finding that right size and fit super challenging.

Shopping in stores was challenging enough having to take 10 different pairs in different sizes back to the fitting room in the search for that perfect fit, but now that the world has changed and we are shopping from home the search for the perfect fit involves ordering multiple pairs and returning them. The first step for me was to clean out my closet to find out what size jeans I was wearing so that I could order with a bit more success. To my surprise I had eight different sizes in my closet! When looking at the brands I found that even within the same brand and style I had different sizes that fit better. What I learned from this closet deep dive is that no two pairs of jeans, even if they are the same brand, style, and size, are alike!

The best way I found to arrive at an approximation of my size was to get out a measuring tape and measure a pair of jeans that I already have that are a great fit. This is no small feat. There are many things to measure with jeans, the waist, the inseam, the width of the thigh, and the rise. These measures will vary by style, so in my quest narrowing in my search by the type of rise (high, medium, low) and the style (skinny, jegging, bootcut, straight leg, or flare) was important so that I was comparing apples to apples. From here with my measurements written down I was ready to hit online shopping platforms.

When shopping online I would use these measurements to compare with sizing charts for jeans I was interested in so that I could choose the size that was most likely to fit in that pair. This did increase my success with the pairs I received however I still ended up ordering 5 pairs of jeans in 3 different sizes. I kept one pair. The pair is not perfect, but I liked them. Will the search for the perfect pair of jeans that fits my curvy frame ever end? Probably not. The search for the perfect pair of jeans really is a never-ending quest!

Wednesday morning at 5 o’clock as the day begins… Silently closing her bedroom door… Leaving a note she hoped would say more…She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief...Quietly turning the back door key, stepping outside she is free. #beatles #wednesdaymorning #morningmotivation #riverview #sunrise #floridalife🌴 #mellow #mood #360wayoflife #liveenergized #livebalanced #liveinspired (at Port Saint John, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ZX46HliPZ/?igshid=1h7oq5wai4bxo

Today’s question, “Mom, What does it mean to be famous?” The answer we arrived at is to be a cartoon character like buzz light-year or SpongeBob. 😂#MultipleLevelsOfTruth #inquiringminds #deepthought #beachwalk #seagulls #sand #surf #360wayoflife @missmatildamaeloves (at Cape Canaveral, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B24rq2xldMH/?igshid=l4bagibeaqyy
