Festive as F # # # 💖🎀♥️🎄

Today was my official last working day before my fav bearded man arrives 🎅🏽
I’ve tried my absolute best to stay on the Good List… so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

2025 has been such a great year!
I’ve met, supported & cheered on so many AMAZING women chasing their passions. My kinda people!

Feeling festive?
Grateful?
Ready for a calmer couple of weeks before it all starts again? Same.

I’ll still be keeping you in the loop with the latest Instagram updates so you’re prepped + ready for January 👀📲

Already excited for the next Net-Wining event in February… and maybe a brand new service coming too. Eek! 🥂

Bring on the sparkle, the chaos + the magic of this season 💖⚡️🧝‍♂️

Thinking about your January content already?
If you want to switch off over Christmas, keep these in mind:

❥ Keep it real — behind-the-scenes, the juggle, the messy bits. It’s what people connect with.

❥ Show your style — your colours, your vibe, your personality. Consistency builds recognition.

❥ Champion your community — highlight the women you work with, collaborate, lift each other up.

❥ Short captions win — keep it simple, warm and useful.

❥ Show your face — people buy from people.

❥ Teach what you know — share tips, how-tos, your process, the things your audience wishes they knew.

❥ Add value + personality — a mix of helpful + human always lands best.

❥ Promote early — don’t wait; your audience is already planning ahead.

❥ Start conversations — ask questions, share wins, encourage engagement.

Only one more festive content shoots left… and then that’s a wrap for baubles, twinkle lights and foliage for another year.

If you’re already thinking January refresh, I’ve got you.

❥ Ready to launch new products?
❥ Need to update your visuals or want to switch up your style?
❥ Want 2026 content that actually stands out?
❥ Need content filmed at angles your tripod doesn't do?
❥ Want B roll content that isn't selfies?

I’m now taking January bookings and yes, my trusted 🎬clapperboard, kit bag and stash of props will be making their grand comeback.

Drop me a message to secure your slot.
Whether you like videos or photos, I can help.

It's TIMEEEEEEEEEEE 🎄🎀🎄🎀

Are you surprised it's not pink?
Is it extra though right?

I certainly suffer with OBD (obsessive bauble/bow disorder) and spent far too long fiddling, until it was finally Insta-ready 💓🪩🎄

❥ What do you think?

I think my “Bowmas vibe” vision came to life ♡🎀

Back in October, I had a little lightbulb moment. With all the Christmas party adverts floating around, I thought… why not create something special to bring together local female business owners in Hertford? And so, “Netwining” was born!
When you work for yourself, you don’t get a work do — so it was the perfect excuse to get dressed up.

The idea? A space where you can moan about your business, share struggles, swap solutions… tell others what you do — and you might even gain a new customer or two. All with an optional glass of wine in hand. My kind of networking. 😉

We gathered at the newly refurbed Practitioner, enjoying an evening of connection with a twist.
No two businesses were the same, and we had a fab time tucked away in our little curtained-off area for chats.

We even attempted filming a Reel where we all had to turn over letters to spell “NETWINING” — definitely easier said than done!
Who wants to see the outtakes? The volume definitely needs muting (IYKYK 🤬)

A huge thank you to everyone who joined me, and to the venue for hosting us.

And guess what? I’m already planning our next gathering for Galentine’s — February 12th, 2026!

Stay tuned for more fun and fabulous connections! 💗

Here’s my follow up post to Donna Talks Social – October episode 30

Here’s a visual of what’s new across Instagram and coming soon

❥ New Instagram layout –
Optional new layout focused on Reels and DMs. You can now swipe between tabs like Home, Reels, DMs, Explore, and Profile. I wasn’t a fan at first… but I’m kinda used to it now!

❥ Stories Montage tool –
Instagram’s testing a “Stories montage” feature that removes backgrounds and layers photos into a collage. Great for product photos, not really my thing though!

❥ AI Restyle for Stories –
New AI tools to restyle your Stories automatically. Look for the paintbrush icon after taking a photo or video.

❥ Music sticker extended –
You are now able to add 45 seconds of a song to Stories instead of 15 and display the song as a planning record.

❥ Reel push continues –
Instagram keeps nudging users to turn their Stories into Reels for more reach. Select the toggle to apply this.

❥ Reels watch history –
You can now see your Reels watch history on iOS. Handy if you forgot to save one.

❥ Skippable ads on Reels –
Instagram’s testing ads you can skip, just like on YouTube. A countdown timer shows before the ad appears, then you can hit “Skip” and go straight back to your Reel.

❥ ManyChat update –
You can now automatically DM someone the second they follow you which is great for engagement if used right.

Coming soon:

❥ Teen safety update – From 2026, parents will get more control: they can turn off teens’ AI chats, and see how they interact with AI characters. Aiming to make AI safer for families.

What update do you like the most, let me know in the comments

Build a Personal Brand on Social Media to Stand Out

If you’re only posting about your products or services… you’re kinda blending into the digital wallpaper.
And if it’s all Canva templates? Even more so, they look like ads. People don’t want to be sold to on socials. Grid posts are all about subtle selling.

Show your face 😊 don’t hide 🫣

When you show up as you, everything gets easier.

❥ You stand out in your industry instead of looking/sounding like everyone else
❥ You become someone people trust, not just another logo (people buy from people they trust)
❥ You naturally attract clients who genuinely connect with you and your vibe

Your personality is the secret sauce.
Let people meet the face behind your business.

How confident are you about showing your face on Instagram?
During a content session with me, you’ll feel relaxed and at ease and your shots will look like you’ve been doing it for years. You can trust me to help you 😊

TALKING ON CAMERA… LET’S BE REAL

Truth bomb: NOBODY loves the sound of their own voice, so don’t let that be the thing that holds you back!!

If you’re trying to ease yourself in, start simple.
❥ Begin with a photo montage/mini video clips and add a voiceover.
❥ Build up to talking clips when you’re ready. Short and sweet always works best because attention spans are short.
❥ Experiment on stories first as they’ll be gone with 24 hours and are only known to people who follow you.

A few easy wins:
❥ Find lighting that flatters you and pick an outfit you feel genuinely comfortable in.
❥ Add pauses when you speak so you don’t rush yourself.
❥ Use your hands, move a little and make it interesting. You wanna avoid the “static talking head” look.
❥ And honestly, don’t overthink it. The more natural you are, the better it lands.
❥ If you prefer reading from a script, the teleprompter in the “Edits” app is perfect.
❥ You could always practise in front of the mirror a few times too.
❥ Film using back camera as you won’t get distracted looking at yourself and the picture quality is better too.

Incase you didn’t know about a recent change: you now can’t go live on Instagram unless you’ve hit 1,000 followers.
And with engagement the way it is at the moment, only around 10 percent of your audience will even see your content… so take the pressure off and just get started.

Personal truth bomb… I don’t love talking on camera either.
I committed to pushing myself about 30 months ago by going live every month and sharing a round-up of what’s new on Instagram and what’s coming soon. I rarely watch the replays back and honestly feel way more confident when fewer people are watching 🫣 but showing up consistently is what builds the trust and shows my expertise.

The next episode of Donna Talks Socials will be this Wednesday. I’ll confirm the time on stories Tuesday, so stay tuned. I’d rather you watch the replay than the Live😉

Are you tempted to show up talking this week, I’d love to know.
Have a fabulous Sunday

Are you wondering if posting on Instagram is worth it when you’re only getting 5 likes?
It absolutely is and here’s why:

❥ 90% of users follow a business
❥ 70% check Instagram before buying
❥ 62% feel more interested after seeing Stories
❥ Reels reach up to 2x more non-followers

Low likes don’t mean low impact, people are seeing you just not engaging 😞

But creating content properly takes time, skill and consistency… and you’ve already got clients to focus on.

That’s where I step in.
I create your content, write your captions and post for you saving you hours, stress and tech battles.

If you want Instagram to feel easier and actually work for your business, send me a message and let’s get your content sorted.
