Natasha: I love all genres of music so it’s hard for me to chose but right now I’m loving Be Kind by Marshmallo and Halsey. It’s on repeat!

What advice do you have for Austinites looking to be successful in social media?
We know it sounds a bit cliche’, but be true to yourself, be kind to others and post with intention! We have found that being kind and helpful while treating everyone how you’d want to be treated, goes a long way! Also as a rule of thumb, post about things that you’re truly passionate about.
