Eating out on vacation is probably my favorite thi Eating out on vacation is probably my favorite thing about taking a trip. This time at the beach we tried a few new places and some unique bites. Here is my list. 
1. @parlordoughnuts - French toast donut was my favorite bite all vacation. The donuts are huge and a dozen lasted us 3 days. 
2. @gulfshorescoffeeco - I was excited for this because they were so close to our condo. The coconut cold brew was my favorite and the cans made it so easy to take the the beach. Kids loved the dirty sodas. 
3. @delsicecreamob - we have ice cream every night on vacation. The red velvet and the iced box lemon at dels was amazing. 
4. @hightidedaiquirismimosas - a new to us place. Came straight off the beach for the most satisfying lunch. Pizza paninis and waffles on a stick. Obsessed.

Nobody is using them.

Instagram rolled this out quietly at the end of 2024 and most people either don’t know they exist or aren’t sure what to do with them. So let’s fix that.

Trial Reels are one of the only ways Instagram lets you get your content in front of people who don’t follow you yet. They show your reels to non followers through the explore page and reels feed. That is new eyes, new followers, and new potential clients — without paid ads.

Here is what you need to know:

-Trial Reels are only available to professional accounts and some creator accounts
-They gain traction for 24 hours — after that views stop
-You can run a trial at the same time you post to your feed
-They are not just for new content, repurpose your best performing reels

I have used them consistently and have seen my follower count grow because of it. The content that performs best is funny, engaging, or tied to trending audio. Stay away from talking head content unless it stops someone in the first second.

This is a feature worth adding to your strategy right now.

Save this and post your first Trial Reel this week.

Having your account in order is one of the most im Having your account in order is one of the most important parts of building a strong profile.

Think about it. Someone scrolls past your post, it stops them, they click your page. You have seconds to tell them who you are and whether they should follow you.

Step one is always a clean and concise bio. But that’s just the beginning.  Step two is your pinned posts.  Most people are either not using them or not using them strategically.
Here’s what your three pinned posts should be doing for you:

-Post 1 — Who you are and what you do
-Post 2 — What kind of content you create and what they can count on from you
-Post 3 — Your highest viewed content. Not your favorite. The one with the most views.

And before you stress about having three, Facebook only allows one pinned post. One strong post is all you need there.

Your pinned posts are prime real estate. They set the tone, build trust, and give someone every reason to hit follow.  Don’t leave that to chance.

Save this and go update your pinned posts today.

Last Minute Gifts

So Christmas is five days away…  Soak it in…

If you have not finished shopping yet I am here to help.  Of course there are still plenty of local places to shop and get your gifts but if you are needing to shop online your best bet is of course Amazon.  They are still offering some major deals and the two day shipping makes it the easiest shopping trip you will ever make.

Here is my list for the best last minute gifts…

Melissa and Doug Cookie Set – I saw this in a store two days ago and it was $20.  Today it was $13 on amazon and available for prime shipping.  I was looking for one more gift for our Christmas child and this was perfect.  It will be here Thursday.

Bear Claws – I really need to buy a set of these for Big Daddy.  These are pulled pork claws that help you pull the meat without having to get your hands dirty.  Also, if you have ever shredded pork when it came out of the smoker you know it is blazing hot so these will be perfect for not burning your fingers.  I also have heard of people using them to pick up veggies and other things off the grill.

Steel Water Bottle – These are perfect for anyone you need to buy for.  Seriously everyone needs one.  They come in a variety of colors and sizes.  I LOVE mine.

Zipbuds – Ok not to stereotype but we all know that guys are usually the ones who are waiting until the last minuite to get gifts.  Guys if you are looking for something for your wife or girlfriend these are great!

Blanket Scarf – There are about a million ways to tie these and an equal amount of videos on you tube.  I actually did one last year for Northshore Parent here.

Fujifilm Instax Mini Camera –  I have seen a few friends buy these for their families for Christmas.  Seems like it would be a fun gift and something that could get a lot of use on Christmas Day.

Echo Show – Still regretting not grabbing one of these for Big Daddy.  If you are looking for the perfect gift for someone who loved gadgets this is it.  Plus they are still on sale at $149.

Video Projector – This is one of those items that you don’t need until you need it.  Currently in my life I don’t need this on a regular basis but a few weeks ago I could have used it for a presentation I did.  Basically I wouldn’t be sad if this was under the Christmas tree because I probably wouldn’t buy it for myself.

Sous Vide Precision Cooker – Great gift and a GREAT price.  These are usually much more expensive than this especially since this one is blue tooth.

Selfie Ring Light – This would be a fun gift for someone who is hard to buy for.  Finding the right light when taking a selfie isn’t always easy.  This will definitely give you that gorgeous glow.

Portable Oven – This is cool especially for someone who works in an office and is trying not to eat out or stay on a diet.  I can think of several teachers who could put this to good use.

Guac Lock – This is perfect for bringing things to parties and can be used for a lot more than just guacamole.

Don’t fret if you still have people on your list.  There is still time to shop.  Get on it today and enjoy the rest of your week.

XO,

Tippy
