As a business owner, creating content for social media platforms can be difficult, especially if you aren’t equipped with skills in graphic design, photography, or videography. That’s why I created this list of 5 foolproof and free-to-use apps that will help you boss babes create and organize engaging content for all of your social media accounts:
1. Spark Post
This app, created by Adobe, allows you to create stunning graphics and videos that can be used for your social media platforms. The app includesprofessionally designed templates for any social media platform.I personally use this app to create animated video graphics for my Instagram stories as well as engaging animated content for the social media profiles of my clients.

Pexels provides thousands of HD, top-quality, stock photos and videos on its platform.

This app helps save time by letting you plan your Instagram posts ahead of time on their app. UNUM’s open grid format allows you to visualize exactly how your Instagram grid will look before you post.

5. VSCO
Want a quick and easy way to edit your photos before posting them on social media? VSCO is the app for you! If I don’t have time to edit my photos using Adobe Lightroom, an easy, time-saving alternative is VSCO. I usually use VSCO to adjust things like the cropping of the photo, exposure, highlights, shadows, sharpness, etc. The app also includes tons of moody filters to add to your photos if you’re into that!
Creating engaging social media content for your business or personal brand starts with finding, utilizing, and leveraging the right resources and programs. All of the social media apps mentioned above are free and easy-to-use resources that you can utilize to help you achieve your social media goals.
As a business owner, treat your social media profiles as if they were your babies. If you had the choice, you would feed your baby only the best, most organic, nutrient-packed foods, right? The same thing applies to your social media feeds. Only showcase your best, most organized, idea-packed content. This is the content that will resonate with your audience and promote engagement.

Hello Boss Babes!
I’m Nicole! Owner of NV Esthetics.
I specialize in manicures and pedicures and would like to take a minute and discuss hand and foot care/maintenance with you.
Our winters are long and not so nice to our hands and feet often leaving them ignored.
So here's some TIPS!
Most important is to schedule regular manicure and pedicure appointments every 4-8 weeks. Adding a warm paraffin treatment will help improve circulation and sooth aching joints as essential oils will help to soften and hydrate rough dry skin.

After any manicure or pedicure home care is so important. Massaging a rich foot cream before bed is great way to keep heals from cracking and to help already cracked heals.
I love Gehwol salve for cracked skin as a nice rich medicated cream.

Don’t forget about your hands! Cuticle oil and rich hand cream is what those dry hands need.
After applying hand cream massage into the cuticle to help stimulate healthy nail growth. I love the hemp lotions as they come in such a variety of fragrances that it's hard to choose just one!
Keep those hands and feet hydrated and healthy.
Cheers,
Nicole
