I've been working with Independent Arts since the summer and I've really enjoyed the variety of sessions they offer, from schools to care homes with a full timetable at their Creative Hub in Newport they really do benefit Islander's lives through the arts 🎨

✨ Meet the Team ✨
It’s amazing how the universe often gives you a little helping hand 💫 I am very grateful that we have been brought together 🥰
Some of you may recognise Sarah & Chloe, oh and that’s me in the middle 😁 📸🤱
My business is growing and I couldn’t be happier to have these two awesome humans helping me to make Forever Wild @ ❤ what it is!
I met Chloe at my first ever Baby Wild ❤️‘s session with Mariella, which is where she met Heather from The Birth Space - Hypnobirthing for the Isle of Wight and this kick started her journey into the creation of Carrying and Cloth - Isle of Wight Sling & Nappy Library. Chloe has always been a huge supporter of my business and I was delighted when she said she was able to help out with my sessions. Watch this space for more to come from Chloe - we are very excited 😆
Sarah's been coming to my sessions for about 4 years with Felix & Tabby. One day, whilst sat around the campfire, I was telling Sarah about how overwhelming I found social media! Sarah said that she had just started her own business Sarah's Socials and that was the start of our wonderful working relationship! Sarah totally understands Forever Wild at ❤ and has been such an amazing support. Working together has helped me free up time to concentrate on other things.
I met Sarah's Socials back in September after a mutual friend (the glorious Lizzie at Forever Wild at Heart!) put us in touch with each other. It was with a view to collaborate and I knew straight away we were both on the same page. We have the same attitude to work, the same goals and ethics. When you click like that with someone it makes a great job utterly brilliant!
This refresh of Sarah's logo keeps the colour palette she loves and her customers are accustomed to, whilst integrating her love of nature and putting a visual together that gives a nod to what Sarah's business is about, along with a strapline to complement her business.
Printed ethically on recycled stock, and I just love how the round corners on her cards tie it all together. A small detail but one that completely suits her brand and makes her business cards that little bit different.
New logo 😀

Great to meet the lovely Katy from Little Victories today.
We had a good chat about websites, graphic design & social media at The Bay Vegan Deli & Coffee House with some delicious cake ☕️
Working with other local businesses is really important to me especially when they share the same values 🌱
☀️ Happy Summer Holidays ☀️
If your children have finished school for the summer, don't forget to set your customers expectations, let them know if you have a little less time for your small business until they go back to school in September with a post & update your auto responses 📚
So as my children are now in full holiday mode it may take me a little longer to get back to you until September when routines return 🏝️
Enjoy the summer with your family & friends🍦

Insights are a great way for you to see which of your posts are performing well & not so well, it also lets you see when your posts are performing best so you know the times your audience are online 💻 📊
Using good quality images sounds simple but there are a few things you should check with the image you use.
📸 Are they in focus?
🏺 Can you see the product your promoting?
🖼 Is it too cluttered, can you focus on what you need to?
💻 Would a filter or some editing enhance the image?
✂️ If you're using the same image on multiple social media platforms, are they all cropped correctly?
🧍♀️ Don't be afraid to ask someone else what they think of the image.
Today sees the easing of more restrictions in the England, best of luck if you're welcoming people in to your business, enjoy being at school or taking exams with out having to wear a mask and embrace those hugs with loved ones you haven't been able to in over a year!
Satay safe 🤗
