      A chat about social media with the amazing Rebecca

      fredag, 19. februar, 2021, 2:52 PM

      Hello there!

      I`m back with an interview with my dear Instagram friend Rebecca! We all love social media and I`m sure you have had thoughts about the affects it has on your life whether good or bad! I know for sure that I have been looking for ways to use social media in a repossible way so that it does`nt affect my mental health, because I have been there and had to take longer breaks from it to get back in touch with myself and my prioriteres.

      So without further ado here is the interview I did with Rebecca. I love talking about social media with her because she says things that my mind thinks and knows but I’m unable to put into words, she is amazing and you guys should check her out on Instagram and on her blog!



      Hey Rebecca could you please tell us a little about yourself and your relationship to social media.

      My name is Rebecca Melodee Ndigaye, I’m 30 years old and have been an avid user of social media since around 2007 when Facebook, Tumblr and MySpace were booming. ​I run a digital agency where I do social media management, content creation and digital consultancy for businesses in Copenhagen, Denmark.

      1. How would you describe an unhealthy relationship with social media?

      I love social media, and just as there are pros, there are cons.​ ​I’d say when you consume more than you create without genuinely engaging with accounts that you follow – scrolling aimlessly, comparing, procrastinating and escaping reality with social media. We all take part in escapism by reading a book, watching a movie etc. but when it reaches the point where it’s the first thing you see in the morning, a necessity during the day, and the last things you see at night, then that’s unhealthy. There’s only so much information, and “inspiration” you can be bombarded with before it becomes passive, not adding any real value to your life but taking away time, and actually decreasing your attention span.

      2. Is there a way to use social media mindfully?


      There are quite a few,but to keep it short I’d say;​(1)C​ ontent has a life span of 48 hours. Create whatever you want, put it out there and let it do its thing. Share content for community, and not popularity. I think that our motivation determines how we feel when we’re on these apps. If it’s not about the likes, shares and comments and you’re genuinely proud of a piece of content then the lack of them won’t matter - your joy is intact because you’re validated through the process and fun you had creating, or reminiscing that moment/place/thing you chose to share. We make social media about other people, but it’s all about you. You are your content. In the process you’ll find your tribe. Even if that’s 5 people ​(2)​ ​Know that your worth is not tied up with social media numbers ​(3)​ ​Show up when you feel like it. It takes the pressure off of constantly having to be on these apps. There are so many “social media experts” making money off of telling people when to post, and how the “algorithm has changed”, and it’s nuts ​(4) ​Follow the people that inspire you.

      3. Do you think that social media can cause us to become less aware of our mental health?

      Most definitely. You’re submerged in information from the time you wake up, till you go to bed . . . that is if you aren’t stuck on your phone. When it gets really bad, social media can be addictive. There are numerous studies that show that there is a direct link between social media and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation as well as self harm, the latter because we’re made numb. Our minds aren't equipped to process a dancing cat, to then a homeless man, a new single from Beyoncé, to your best friend grocery shopping, social injustice, and then a cute outfit all within 3 minutes. ​In general terms​ – we lose the ability to feel, the emotional intelligence and capacity to express ourselves, and then go to extremes to feel alive, or not wanting to be alive. When we are happy on social media, it’s instant gratification, and then it’s gone in a few minutes, because you saw something that made you feel less than, and then we have to stimulate ourselves, and that’s how the wheel keeps turning and the mind wanders, in these times, than can lead to a harmful place if social media isn’t used with care.

      4. Do you believe in taking breaks from social media or is it better to create and use a strategy on how to use the platforms?

      There is no right or wrong. Take a break, have a strategy - just make sure you look up from your screen once in a while. I left Instagram for two years, because of the negativity on the platform. I understand that that’s a bit much, but it goes to show, social media isn’t everything there’s life outside of these apps. Even having one day, or the weekend where you aren't on social media frees up your mental space. There is genuine FOMO (​fear of missing out​) I get that, but whatever was posted will be there when you get back on the platform. Some people are scared of breaks because they don’t want to “lose followers” or their connections. When someone unfollows you, they aren’t genuinely interested in your content, and that’s completely fine. Let them go and be grateful for the time that you were able to inspire them, and focus on those that are present. At the end of the day, there is a subconscious need for us to be “liked” and appreciated on social media, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of your well being. Scheduling tools like Later, Planoly and the likes are great because planning and posting in real time can be taxing if you do it often. Decision fatigue is real, and you don’t want to waste precious brain energy on posting on the gram. I do a combination of both, and I show up when I want to, but always with value.

      5. Social media can bring a lot of joy to people especially during this pandemic. What are some of your best tips to not stay glued to the screens these days?

      (1) ​Plan your days ahead, or at least the day before and schedule out times where you’ll be on the platform, and why - to engage, to post, for inspiration? ​When you have a purpose, you become intentional (​ 2) ​Get on the platforms after your morning routine so you aren’t bombarded with impressions first thing. The feed knows no boundaries, so you have to create and stick to yours (3) ​Fill your day with activities that don’t require your phone. Maybe start with an hour, then be on the phone for 10 minutes, and continue as you feel led. ​(4)​ You are in control – you don’t have to follow any and everything. Turn off your notifications, and mute as many accounts as possible. Have a scroll through who you are following every two weeks. If you don’t go back to any of those accounts, unfollow. Be selective. . . Not as in “I only follow the cool accounts” but more, do I genuinely interact with this account? They could be creating great content, but that doesn’t mean that it’s for you. And remember ​that​ when someone unfollows you. It’s not personal. It’s just social media – treat it with a light heart, it could literally crash and be gone any second. Create and consume what you see as valuable to make you happy, whatever that is. Be social. Social media was meant to connect, not collect people.

      Oh I love that so much [ social media was meant to connect, not collect people ]

      Thank you so much Rebecca for doing this interview, you are truly amazing and there is so much value in your replies that I’m sure alot of us can and will benefit from.. Thank you

      To everyone who has taken the time to read this post thank you
      Until next time
      Love Hosannah

      #AD || DISCOUNT CODE BELOW


      Hello there
      It’s been awhile since my last blogpost, but here I am again. Yes it`s me Hosannah I have Cut all my hair off since you last saw me and I love it! I hope you are all coping and staying safe. I’m doing my best to not give up hope that this will all soon be over with, so we can go back to living more freely again.

      Is’nt it funny how we can confidently share a picture in our bikini, but when it comes to underwear if feels like we are exposing ourselves or is it just me?

      Well I got over it!
      I have been testing out this triangle bra and 80 den tights from @organicbasics and I’m ready to share my opinion on both pieces with you.

      By now you all know I’m a thrifter and I thrift everything! and no I don’t thrift used underwear, but you can find brand new underwear at the thrifted store and those are the ones I go for.

      But not everyone is like me! I wanted to test out the @organicbasics products to have a sustainable brand to reference you to if you don’t want to thrift underwear and you are looking for a sustainable and etchical brand to support!

      To do so, I choose to test the brand out for myself first!

      @organicbasics was kind enough to send me 2 of their items to test out so lets get to it shall we.

      • Re- tights Black 80 Den — I am about 158 cm and I wear a small medium in pants, so I went for the size medium which Turned out to be a little too big but they are still wearable. I went With 80 den isted of 20 because I love the thickness and they are a perfect layering piece during winter. I love the fact that they have a High rise so I can cover all my stomach area with them while wearing a dress perfect support! Oh and I have acutually never thrifted tights in all the years I have been thrifting so now I have 2 brand new pair ( the tights come in a pack with two pairs) that will keep me going for years! Because my old ones are tired and filled with holes. I would totally recommend them. Amazing quality!

      • Organic triangle bra - here is the thing I have big boobs and I have always had a rough time buying the right size bras until I started thrifting! My favorite shape when it comes to bras are the demi cup and the full cup. I knew I was taking a risk getting a triangle shape bra because of the size of my boobs. The size of my boobs vary due to which time of the month it is but the ones that fits the majority of the time is a 80C remember these bras are thrifted and I don’t know if the size in them would be the same size as todays size. I got the triangle bra in size L and if I took a bigger size they would be too big under the bust when I close them.

      Would I recommend this bra to persons who have large loose boobs like mine? Yes and No!

      * Yes if you are wearing them out to dinner and won`t be super active or bending down alot. They are so comfy and soft you won`t even notice you are wearing them because they are comfortable on your skin.

      * No if you are wearing them around the house are doing anything that requires alot of movement because then you will be “ picking up” those boobs and putting them back in place constantly haha.

      * I do recommend them 100% if you have smaller and firmer boobs than mine.

      USE DISCOUNT CODE FASHTHRIFTSOB TO GET 10% OFF your order! Can be used worldwide :-)

      If you are not already following me on Instagram please do. I post 3 days a week monday- wednesday and friday and you will see me posting in my stories everyday max 10 stories a day. I will also be posting a video of me wearing these 2 items in my story so you can see them in action get more info about them and what they are made of. You don`t want to miss it.

      You can read all about the materials and how and where these item are made on Organicabasics.com



      Wishing you all a happy new week
      Love Hosannah

      Planning my first winter capsule  & making it personal

      onsdag, 11. november, 2020, 10:30 AM

      Hello is there anybody out there?

      Haha it´s been a while since my last blogpost, but here I am again after months. I hope I still have some readers in here and if not, this will just be a fun post for me to look back on. Anyway I wanted to let you guys in on how I´m planning to do my first winter capsule wardrobe with a personal twist to it!

      I am doing my first fall capsule as we speak and I have learned alot so far! if you are not following me on instagram I would love for you to do so, because I share so much there and very little here . Back to what I was saying about my fall wardrobe! I have made an IGtv where I shared my fall capsule and how I´m acheiving it. Although it has been fun to try I have made a few mistakes and I have learned that there are a few things I would rather do differently, so that it matches my personality and lifestyle.

      If you don´t know what a capsule wardrobe is it is:

      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      Jump to navigationJump to search

      A capsule travel wardrobe

      Capsule wardrobe is a term coined by Susie Faux, the owner of a London boutique called "Wardrobe" in the 1970s. According to Faux, a capsule wardrobe is a collection of a few essential items of clothing that do not go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers, and coats, which can then be augmented with seasonal pieces.[1] This idea was popularised by American designer Donna Karan, who, in 1985, released an influential capsule collection of seven interchangeable work-wear pieces.[2]

      The term is widely used in the British and American fashion media, and has been the subject of several popular television series. The term has come to refer to a collection of clothing that is composed of interchangeable items only, to maximise the number of outfits that can be created. The aim is to have an outfit suitable for any occasion without owning excessive items of clothing. This is usually achieved by buying what are considered to be "key" or "staple" items in coordinating colours


      Here is how I´m planning to go about my winter capsule:

      1. Instead of chosing a certain number of items for the entire season I will be chosing a certain about of items for 1 month at a time, which means that as soon as the month is over I will look through the items remove items I have´nt worn or items that does not fit the occasions for the next month. for example : In december I´ll need a dress for christmas eve. I could of course chose to wear the same dress for next month New years eve, but I love to dress up on New years eve and I like to stay comfy for christmas eve, so this dress from my december capsule won`t be necessary to bring along with me in January´s capsule therefore I will remove it and make space for a new item in january. I think by doing it this way, there won´t be boredom with items and it will feel much more refreshing for the entire season plus if you have a huge wardrobe like I have you will get to test out more items and figure out which items you really enjoy wearing and which items needs a new home.

      2. Making a mood board with looks for each month is something I will be doing. My style is forever changing and I love to experiment with different styles/looks. Right now I´m crazy about mixing feminine pieces with masculine pieces, so I have created a mood board for that style and then I will create a mood board for every month of winter with the pieces I wish to style for the month. This gives me an idea of which pieces I should add to my capsule for the each month.

      3. Disciplining myself is something i want to focus more on. I thought that creating a capsule wardrobe would mean less thrifting, but unfortunatly It did´nt held me back at all. I still went out and thrited some amazing pieces if I must say ( I´m kinda not sorry about it) But I don`t need to be going thrifting for every season and maybe when I become pro at capsule wardrobe I wont feel the need to go thrifting as often. It´s a journey! becoming more sustainable is a life long journey, noone is perfect and I will not shame myself for thrifting. Instead I see thrifting as a very good thing for the planet I´m saving alot of clothing from ending in landfills while supporting a good cause.. Anyway I still need to cut back and thrift more intentional. This really takes selfdecipline because I LOVE THRIFTING its my favorite thing to do to have fun!

      So there you have it! these are some of the actions I´m taking to create my first winter wardrobe. If you have any tips on capsule wardrobes let me know in the comment below.

      Have a great day

      - Hosannah
