If you follow us on social media (hint, hint), you’ve probably seen some of the year-in-review questions Upswept has been posing. One question was particularly convicting for me: did you take enough time to rest this year? Anyone reading this right now probably has a lot to do and very little time to just sit […]
If you’re keeping up with the wild world of social media, you may have heard about Instagram testing hidden “likes” in select countries earlier this year.
