Vickie is a college student, avid bullet-journalist, and #studygram influencer. In this intimate blog post, she describes how she got over her bad social media habits with a few simple life changes.  Life is overflowing with digital distractions and the pressure of having to keep up with a fast-paced, always-on mentality. Notifications about comments on your new Instagram post, distracting chats and messages, and an endless supply of stories can really eat away at your productivity.

If you’re on the fence about disconnecting from technology and maybe even taking a digital detox, don’t be. Wanting to take a break is a perfectly natural response to the sensory overload we face on a daily basis. Our brains aren’t built for being constantly wired in, and taking a break is not only important, it's necessary. >>> Take a digital detox with Flipd <<<

Have you ever thought about the time you spend online? I mean really thought about it — from the moment you wake up by your phone's alarm to the minute you go to bed, your phone is probably with you. You're always plugged in, you're constantly available, and, if you're like most people, you never disconnect.  Don’t get me wrong, technology is a beautiful thing. As a social media blogger and influencer, I get it 100%.  But what if you just unplugged every once in a while? >>> Try Flipd and take a social media break <<<

Social media has radically changed our lives in a short amount of time. In little more than a decade, it’s allowed us to connect with people all over the world and to stay in touch with close friends. It’s become an essential tool for communication and for sharing lived experiences. It's literally changed the way we interact with each other.  But in that short time, it's also become all too clear that social media has its dark side too. Beyond the online trolls, social media can have a negative impact on our lives if we don’t create healthy boundaries between our on and offline realities.

Hayley is a social media influencer, blogger, and life-long academic, currently earning a Bachelor of Public Health. In this post, she shares practical ways to unleash mindfulness into your daily life.  I was first introduced to mindfulness in a third-year mental health class at my university. Everyone entered the room, found a seat, and did what most university students do when they enter a lecture hall — open their laptops, pull out their phones, and scroll through their social media feeds.
