For this month's LASK Loves, Sophie shared her favorite winter activity: Skiing.
"I love going skiing in the wintertime! It's one of my favorite activities to do when I visit the mountains. I enjoy being surrounded by nature and feeling the adrenaline rush it gives me when I'm going down a huge hill! I'm looking forward to hitting the slopes this season! βοΈ"
Lately, it seems that everyone has their eye on Twitter, and rightfully so. Recently, Elon Musk outlined his potential plans for the platform which include allowing longer video clips to be attached to tweets, a creator monetization program, soon-to-be-launched encrypted DMs, Longform Tweets called Twitter Notes that allow for up to 2,500 words, and more. Curious about what'll happen next? We'll keep you informed as the developments roll out!

For this month's LASK Look Ariel shared one of her favorite accounts to follow: The Dad (https://www.instagram.com/thedad/)
"Becoming a parent puts you into very unusual circumstances that only other parents will understand, so it's fun being able to laugh about it with others that get it. I also think it is a great reminder for those of us in the trenches that the majority of the things we go through with our kids are almost always something we can laugh about and not something to stress about."

For this month's LASK Loves Ariel shared her favorite way to unwind: crocheting.
"I learned how to crochet in middle school and although I was good at it, I didn't really keep it up. Then in high school, my boyfriend (who is now my husband) found out I could crochet and asked me to make him a beanie; and just like that, I realized that I really liked making things. Since then I've grown this passion into a side hustle and love to do it in my free time as a way to relax!"
Happy Birthday to the boss lady herself: Jen! We are grateful to have such a dedicated leader who is constantly working on bettering herself and those around you. The LASK team hopes you have the best day and your most amazing year yet! π

This month Ashley shared on of her favorite accounts to follow: Ghoulia Childs (https://bit.ly/3f9EOYT)
"One Instagram page that never fails to put a smile on my face is . As a baker myself and someone who likes to play with Halloween and horror themes in my baked goods flavors or subscription/gift boxes, this page is a never-ending source of inspiration. The treats are so fun to look at and they never cease to kick my own creativity and imagination into high gear."
Cheers to 12 years of LASK! π It has been a wild ride growing this business and it just keeps getting better and better every year! π

Keeping up with personal and business Facebook accounts can become quite the chore. However, the Facebook Accounts Center is a more simplified hub for the everyday user who doesnβt need all of the bells and whistles of the Meta Business Manager or Business Suite, but would still like a streamlined management system for multiple pages. Accounts Center helps organize and consolidate all of your pages into one place and allows you to switch between Facebook and Instagram accounts without navigating to your phoneβs home screen, multitasking menu, or app drawer.

Staying up to date on updates to Instagram as a platform is as important as knowing what kind of content is trending. Here is a quick summary of IG's latest updates:
1. Instagram now allows you to pin posts. You can now choose 3 posts to pin to the top of your profile.
2. The Instagram algorithm is prioritizing original content. IG is now trying to differentiate itself and other social media platforms, which is meant to discourage users from reusing TikTok videos.
3. Instagram is moving towards being a new video-based social media platform. The algorithm update is more in favor of video content (especially Reels), so the platform has added a few features to make creating videos easier, including:
- Instagram templates give creators new content ideas and cuts down the time it takes to create content.
- Reels can now be up to 90 seconds. Great for tutorials, vlogs, and more.
- Engagement stickers for Reels. The same stickers that have been available on Stories can now be used in Reels!
4. Instagram shows DM response time. This update is to encourage users to be more actively engaged with followers.
Which of these updates do you think you will benefit the most from? Tell us below π

Chef Vinny has poured his heart and soul into this business and we are excited to join his team and watch this amazing business continue to grow and flourish.
For this month's LASK Loves, Ashley shared her favorite fall food with us:
"I am a huge fan of fall flavors of every kind. They are warm, and rich and remind me of chilly days in Colorado as a kid playing in crunchy leaves on chilly days. But aside from all the amazing pumpkin and apple-flavored desserts that I love, my very favorite fall recipe is my ultimate Colorado comfort food: Pork Green chili made from freshly roasted hatch chiles. It's not your run-of-the-mill chile verde. It's more like a stew and it's amazing. I grew up with it and it is like a warm hug in every bite. So good!!"
Had so much fun putting this reel together for our clients Fleet Feet SoCal: Agoura π ...clearly!
For this month's LASK Look Megan shared about one of her favorite accounts: (https://bit.ly/3xRExjN).
"I love Kelly on Just a Taste, she's a local mom who creates delicious recipes that are easy, manageable, flavorful and, most importantly, successful. All too often, I find myself trying new recipes and they just don't work! Bland, too intricate, no rise, soupy, etc... Give her recipes a try: fun and exciting appetizers, easy weeknight dinners, yummy desserts, whatever you are looking for. Oh and if you comment a question to her on a recipe (website), she answers π"
