31 Days of Horror Challenge

Day 7 - a horror movie you think no one has seen

Detention - 2011

I have several in mind but this is one of them and its more of a comedy horror than horror complete with a major and “didnt even see that one coming” plot twist towards the end.

Starring Dane Cook and Josh Hutcherson in pre-game Hunger Games mode and directed by MTV’s music video God Joseph Kahn. Extremely better than his first project Torque.

The film opens up with a character already breaking the 4th wall and giving you a guide of how not to be a total reject. You think this movie already going to start off with a Mean Girl and then it just surprises you by being the first kill within the first 5 minutes of the movie by a guy dressed as Cinderhella. A serial killer from a fictional horror movie within the movie. Think of the Stab movies in the Scream franchise. Already starts off with a parody of other horror movies so you think it wont be taken seriously. With the exception of the whole serial killer now on the loose and chopping off high schoolers with an axe.

The movie takes a toll and a plot twist at that as it derives to the science fiction genre. Told you not to take it serious. Complete with pop culture and geek references as well as a Time Machine. A FREAKIN TIME MACHINE IN A HORROR COMEDY!

NGL, the time machine is what sold me in the first place. Its a must watch if you’re feeling nolstagic and dont want to take any horror movie seriously.

Kill Count: 7

However, Jason needs to resolve a problem and his colleague misunderstands his instructions and stops the lift.

Then he meets another neighbor, the sexy Sarah Yates, and they have sex in the house. When Sarah returns to visit him, he says that their affair was a mistake since he is married and asks her to not come back again. On the weekend, his friend Milo Stone comes to help Don in the renovation. But soon the house shows supernatural events and Milo, Don and Liz learn that the place is haunted with a sordid past.

For @little-miss-sunny-daisy. I snooped and saw you were recently in the mood for ski lodge enemies to lovers fluff. This is very short and only a beginning, but I hope your day gets a little better <3

---

Caroline breathed out a sigh of relief as she stepped into the pleasantly heated lobby of the lodge, the biting cold that had been pricking at her cheeks disappearing as the door shut behind her. Katherine had convinced them to go all out on the accommodations, the pandemic waning out just before their final year of college meaning they'd all saved up the itch to have a swanky, wild getaway with no holds barred after two and a half years of Zoom school and staying indoors, and they'd selected a resort with luxuriously decorated logged cabins and a access to a wide variety of winter activities. She'd nearly turned it down, worried that they'd get snowed in and she'd miss a flight home for Christmas with her mom, but Liz had convinced her to sign on at the last minute after she'd gotten roped into working on Christmas. Their wider group of friends had all signed on eagerly as well, and Caroline was looking forward to a week of snowy coziness, especially since a certain someone had declined his invitation.

Her flight had been the first one of the girls' scheduled to come in, so she was the first one there by a few hours, and it was her job to get them all set up at the cabin. Her suitcase rolled on the marble floor behind her as she approached the well-groomed man at the front desk, who greeted her with a polite smile, his gloved fingers tapping at the keyboard as he confirmed her reservation and reached into a drawer to hand her a room key to the cabin she'd rented with her friends. "Though you of course have a small kitchen in your cabin, we do offer complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, and pastries in the main hall every morning. Your reservation comes with one free ski lesson for each guest, and access to the skiing and snowboarding area for your entire stay, as well as the gondolas and sleigh rides if you prefer more low key activities. We have a free shuttle to downtown that leaves once an hour, and I'm happy to provide restaurant or wine tasting recommendations, should you require them," the front desk worker said, handing her a glossy brochure that showed smiling families engaging in a variety of snow-related activities.

She stiffened when she heard a familiar laugh from the other side of the lobby, and turned away from the man at the front desk to look in the direction, grimacing when she saw the familiar face. A fire crackled merrily in the hearth on the far side of the lobby surrounded by plush armchairs and couches, and on one of those couches sat the most unpleasant person Caroline had ever met in her whole entire life, and she'd met some truly unpleasant people. Klaus Mikaelson was arrogant, condescending, snobby, and completely insufferable. He made fun of her coffee orders, mocked her taste in music, and challenged every single thing she said that he could find to argue with, his eyes infuriatingly alight whenever he got the chance to prove her wrong. He had texted her an article from The New York Times about how people who said 'like' in the middle of sentences were less likely to get hired at jobs out of "concern." He was an asshole.

He'd also made her come three times in one night when they both got drunk at the exclusive everyone-got-tested-first-and-had-to-present-verified-documentation New Years' bash she'd thrown the year before, and Caroline hadn't been able to stop thinking about it since.

And, worse, judging by his smug smirks and his eyes constantly lingering on her legs for what she tried to convince herself was entirely too long far too often while she feigned offense, she had a feeling he knew it.

What the fuck was he doing there? Katherine had told her Klaus had opted out!

"You and your other guests will be in Cabin Six, which is out that door and down the path to the left. Would you like me to call a bellhop to assist you with your luggage and show you the way?"

"Um--" she began, freezing when Enzo, one of the only traitorous friends she kept in her life despite also being friends with Dimpled Satan called her name from by the fireplace. "No. I can find my way on my own, I guess."

The front desk man smiled. "I do hope you enjoy your stay here."

"Thank you," Caroline said politely, taking the envelope that held the key cards to the cabin and turning to reluctantly head over to the group of boys who had already arrived. "What are you doing here?" she asked Klaus without preamble, ignoring Enzo's pout at his lack of greeting.

"I'm on vacation, love. Same as you."

"Katherine said you weren't coming," Caroline protested, trying to sound annoyed.

"I reconsidered and decided it wasn't to be missed," Klaus said with a dimpled grin. Caroline scowled.

"After he saw the finalized guest list of course," Kol drawled from beside him, his smirk not dampened by Klaus's glare.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Caroline asked, frowning.

"Never you mind, sweetheart."

"I told you not to call me that like, a million times. It's condescending."

"My apologies, Caroline," Klaus said, her name rolling off his tongue in a way that made her shiver. She reached up to loosen her scarf. It was weirdly hot in the lobby. "I'll be sure to address you as you wish."

"Thanks," she said curtly with a toss of her hair. "Well, I'm going to go settle down in the cabin, I guess. Kat's the last one getting in, but she said she'd meet us in town for dinner, and I checked the schedule and we could take the six o'clock shuttle," Caroline said, her tone businesslike. "If you're coming to dinner, I guess I'll meet you back here then."

"See you then, gorgeous," Enzo said with a grin.

"Yep," Caroline said dryly, turning and bracing herself for the cold outdoors again as she headed to the cabin, hauling her giant suitcase through the snow and already starting to breathe hard.

Klaus being here would probably suck, but she'd make the best of it. Sure, he could be annoying and distracting and liked to rile her up for a laugh, but maybe she could avoid him. She'd been mostly successfully doing it since the party the year before, despite his occasional attempts to catch her in the right place. It seemed her luck had run out. She'd just try to find winter activities he wouldn't be caught dead doing. He was probably going to do something pretentious like wine tasting or take walks to work on his photography portfolio for his minor, and she was totally happy to avoid both of those things. She'd just have hot chocolate while she read romance novels or watched Netflix in the resort lounge, or go swimming in the heated indoor pool, or spend time at the luxurious spa. She wouldn't even know Klaus was there.

After all, it's not like he'd come on the trip because she had changed her mind and decided to come at the last minute. He probably had better things to do than bother her. She hoped.

Klaus or not, this vacation was totally going to kick ass. She'd make sure of it.

💥 🙉 🌱 🔫 💚 for Liz, Rae, and Maria?

Thank you! 💜 sorry this took a little bit some of these i had to think about for Rae cause i forgot i haven’t fully developed her yet lmao. 

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

Liz - That would be anger. When she gets angry or annoyed and can’t let it out she has no idea what to do and that in turn makes her 10x worse to be around. She’ll snap at people, instigate people, anything to deal with her anger. Let’s just say Soap was very happy when they rescued Price from the gulag. 

Rae - Being energized. If she’s not out on a mission with Team Metal or doing something with her brother she feels antsy. Rae is very athletic and likes to be out and about, but being stuck on base with not much to do can prove difficult. It got to the point where her and Derek would spar when not on duty, just to get her energy out. They became good friends because of it.  

Maria - For her it would be sadness. Even before Mother Miranda she had trouble dealing with her sadness. Crying didn’t help that much, wallowing in her sorrows didn’t help, it felt like she just had to ride out her sadness and hope to see brighter days. 

🙉 HEAR-NO-EVIL - what is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone? 

Liz - She’s been through a lot and with her job not much would actually be the ‘worse thing she could hear’ per se. With that being said the one thing she cares about is her family, Ghost and their kids are her world if anything happened to them she wouldn’t know what to do. So hearing a doctor say any of them are terminally ill would break her heart, especially if it was one of the kids. Also hearing if Logan was K.I.A would be up there as well considering he’s the only one from her family she still talks to. 

Rae - That her brother didn’t make it. Her and Julian are twins, inseparable at that. They grew up together, joined the Army and Delta together, they’ve been through so much together and for her to lose someone she’s so close with would devastate her. 

Maria - That there’s no escape from Mother Miranda (which ended up being false in the long run thanks to Ethan). Being taken from her home, from her family sucked and she hated being there, she just wanted out. 

🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?

Liz - That one time when the family went up to Big Bear Lake for some snowboarding/sledding and ended with both Liz and Logan launching themselves off their sled cause they ended up going down the kill a little too fast. Both of them were fine of course, they just couldn’t stop laughing and it’s one memory Liz still cherishes to this day and can picture so vividly. 

Rae - Looking back on her life the one of many vivid memories she has is just playing in the backyard with Julian. Them running around, playing on the jungle gym, swinging on the swings, jumping through the sprinkler. Just being kids and laughing. 

Maria - When she was younger she would go on hikes with her parents on Cascada Urlatoarele to see the waterfalls. One time when she was around (7) years of age she decided to run down a hill to beat her parents and ended up tripping on a rock and broke her ankle. Her father carried her down the rest of the way and even though her ankle was throbbing and in pain she enjoyed every minute. 

🔫 PISTOL - do they trust people easily? how easily will they turn their back to someone? have they been backstabbed before? will they betray someone if given an ultimatum?

Liz - No, she’s not someone to trust people easily and can you blame her? If you’re in her inner circle she’ll never turn her back to them, everyone else though? Yeah she’ll do it without a second thought. Have they ever been backstabbed before? From the wise words of Price ‘you have to trust someone to be betrayed, I never did’. All depends on the ultimatum and who she’s gonna betray. If it’s people she’s close with than no. Her father and brother, oh hell yeah she’ll do that in an instant. As long as Rorke, Merrick and Keegan don’t get hurt because of it. She likes them. 

Rae - She doesn’t trust people at first, she has to get to know them to make that assessment. Turning her back to people isn’t something she would do unless absolutely necessary. No, she hasn’t been backstabbed before which she’s thankful for. She would never betray anyone no matter how much she might not like them, ultimatum or not. 

Maria - When she was younger, yes she did. Older Maria, no. She’s not one to turn her back away from someone easily, she’ll give them a few chances before she finally does. Have they ever been backstabbed? I would say no, she expects half the stuff that happened anyways so she wasn’t surprised. Yes, she would betray someone if given the ultimatum. 

💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?

Liz - Cuddling with her favorite person, alcohol and some cookies. 

Rae - Hugs, cheesy jokes told by her brother to make her laugh and their mom’s homemade lasagna. 

Maria - Baking, forehead kisses and a ton of cornete boieresti (boyar cones)

Raisman, Kim, Steinfeld (“Dickinson,” “Bumblebee”) and Reinhart (“Riverdale,” “Hustlers”) all play Angel recruits who are tested alongside Scott’s character Elena. “Aly of course represents not just an excellent athlete but also an advocate,” Cantillon said. “And Chloe is just a genius snowboarder, so we were super excited about her. Liz [Banks] knew Hailee from ‘Pitch Perfect 2,’ and Lili raised her hand. And we were like, ‘That’s amazing! We love her too!’ So that was just fortuitous. “Hailee and Lily, to me, they’re two chameleons,” Banks added. “I felt like that was also something important to ‘Charlie’s Angels.’ Like, we are everywhere. We might even be in a television show or creating your favorite music.

Elizabeth Banks on the Charlie’s Angels cameos X

[greatreward]

heavily inspired by marvel’s spider-man cartoon from 2017 plus comics and other media thrown in !

basics —

NAME: harold “harry” theopolis osborn ALIAS: hobgoblin → this is a secret ALIGNMENT: hero FC: david castañeda AGE: twenty-four years old OCCUPATION: ceo of oscorp industries → he’s a billionaire  MBTI: intp-a SPECIES: human → harry is mexican-american HEIGHT: five feet and ten inches LANGUAGES SPOKEN: english, spanish, french, asl FAMILY: alton osborn sr (great-great-grandfather, deceased), alton osborn jr (great-grandfather, deceased) amberson osborn (grandfather, deceased), norman osborn (father, estranged), emily lyman-osborn (mother), normie osborn (four-year-old son), peter parker (best friend) 

→ i’m changing a lot about normie. i’m going to say liz allan isn’t the mother so no future player is forced into playing her with children! if anyone keeps up with recent comics, all the red goblin and carnage events haven’t happened to normie here. thanks! it makes sense to ignore that canon since my harry has never been green goblin. so harry and normie are a very happy family all around. harry makes sure his son is never put in the middle of dangerous situations. the boy moved to star city with his dad! normie is four years old here so basically a toddler still. peter parker and mary jane watson are the godparents.

AFFILIATIONS: himself, spider-man, spiderfam HAIR COLOR: auburn EYE COLOR: blue EDUCATION: college degree  SEXUALITY: pansexual

powers/special abilities —

GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: his intellect is so high that it surpasses even that of his own father. MASTER ENGINEER MASTER INVENTOR HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT: he’s more equipped to fight while in the air on his glider but has been known to hold his own when his feet are on the ground too. EXPERT SWORDSMAN → He might be Human but Harry has created all of his gear himself. He designed the armor worn when he puts it on. Which might not be often as other heroes but his glider is usually always with him. → He enhanced some of his footwear (usually his boots) to form a glider under his feet whenever signaled to materialize it. This kind of resembles a snowboard but smaller. Harry can turn it on and off whenever he wants to — making it easy to get away from any situation. → His Hobgoblin suit is a bright orange with a hood and when pulled over his head will materialize a mask to cover his face. → His main weapon to use is his flame sword — a handle that emits a fire in the shape of a blade when turned on.  There are also smoke bombs carried with him when he goes out somewhere.

three headcanons —

Harry has some windows that can open from the outside installed in his office at Oscorp and also in his penthouse. They’re specifically for his best friend to use because Harry knows Peter prefers not using the front door when stepping in for a visit.  (This was discussed with Amanda!)

Growing up Norman paid more attention to his work and evil schemes than anything Harry was succeeding in. He would try talking to him about his day and be told ‘if this isn’t important it can wait, son.’ Sometimes Harry would act out and throw parties at their penthouse when he would be ignored. His way of saying ‘hey look at me! i’m here!’ Although it never quite worked to get him the recognition he deserved from his father. The parties never made him feel better from his experience.

He had a new assistant who takes her job quite seriously when it comes to managing Harry’s day-to-day. While he appreciates her dedication, sometimes wishes that she would allow herself some time to relax. He has also learned that his assistant isn’t fond of random visits they aren’t on the schedule. Harry tried to tell her that it’s quite alright and to move things around ... which doesn’t go over well.   Sometimes Harry just wants to sneak into his lab and keep his hands busy but his assistant has to always show up with reminders of his meetings and any other boring adult responsibilities. Why did he hire an assistant? Usually a question Harry asks himself quite often.

four personality traits —

+ ARDENT (Harry is passionate about everything that he tends to do in his life. Whether it’s protecting his friends, diving into creating an invention for himself or another hero, sitting in on one of his many meetings, and whatever else falls in between. He always puts a hundred percent into everything that he puts his mind to! Passion is everything to him.)

- PERTINACIOUS (Always determined and when faced with opposition will just encourage Harry to keep going. If you tell him ‘no’ he will do it anyway. This applies in all aspects of his life. People didn’t think a teenager could be the face of the company but Harry continued on despite that discouragement. He likes to prove people wrong so maybe that’s the reason behind his choices. It doesn’t always work out in his favor, forgetting that he’s only Human when trying to take in a dangerous for alone. Which results in injury for being so stubborn.)

+ VERACIOUS (You can always count on Harry to tell it like it is. He prefers honesty from those that are close to him.  Which means in most situations he’ll tell people how he feels in the moment.)

- SHOW-OFF. (Harry tends to try impressing people with what he’s capable of doing. His father never appreciated his talents so he tries  to show off his inventions to anyone who would pay attention. He tries not to be conceited but sometimes it can come off that way to strangers.)

character bio —

When the start of the ban had begun Harry was only seventeen years old. He became a superhero of his own design a few months before it became law and would call himself the Hobgoblin. His father had these plans for his son to carry on his vision of destroying the Spider-Man and anyone else that stood in their way. However, this isn’t how Harry wanted to use the technology he designed. The suit of armor and weapons were his own and wouldn’t allow them to turned against someone that was starting to become a friend. Harry hasn’t always been fond of Spider-Man at the time and often wondered why he was always poking around his business. After some time his mind had been changed and it inspired him to become a hero too. He didn’t care if Norman didn’t agree but Harry was proud of his decision.

He was a genius in every sense of the word, despite being a little foolish sometimes. Harry is far from perfect but has always kept his identity a secret. He couldn’t risk the public finding out considering his status as an Osborn. Eventually he would learn that his best friend is the web-head.

Fast forward a year to sometime after Harry’s eighteenth birthday ... there’s an accident and Norman is transformed into something else. He becomes the Green Goblin and no longer resembles the father that Harry once knew.  He struggles with accepting this but isn’t given the proper time to let it settle in before everything about his life changes. While Norman is missing and living the life of a super-villain, his son takes on new responsibilities.

Harry becomes the CEO of Oscorp Industries just a few months after turning eighteen. It was an adjustment for everyone because while there are some similarities between the two — he was a very different boss than his father had been. Maybe it was the fact Harry is a hero and not the bad guy ... which affects the priorities of the company. He tries not to worry about what his father is up to and tries his best over the years.

Harry is careful whenever going out as Hobgoblin, not making a habit of it being an everyday thing since there’s a ban on such activities. He can’t ever stand by and do nothing though because sometimes doing the right thing is more important. He doesn’t typically go on patrols either. Harry has been able to keep his identity a secret all these years.

Oscorp started building a new branch in Star City and Harry would relocate there to oversee it once opening up for business. He moves into a penthouse nearby to be close with his work. Harry doesn’t quite know what he’s in for, even after doing his research. All that he can hope for is to make a difference between the technology his company makes and his occasional stunts as Hobgoblin. Suppose with time we’ll find out how successful Harry is doing that.

featuring: OFC Evelyn “Evie” Collins x Steve Rogers

word count: 1625 words

rating: PG

warnings: cussing, shooting the bird

A/N: shout out to @celeb-fest for her beta work. 

I felt so nervous. Today was a big deal. It wasn't just Bruce's birthday, at least for me. Today has the potential to change my life. I've been incredibly anxious all day long, and now, it's go time.

Once I was done getting ready, I pulled Bruce's present out of its hiding place and walked out to the living room. Everyone but Bruce was there, waiting on him. I walked up to Steve, putting my arm around his waist as he kissed the top of my head. “Hey baby. You bring your present?” he asked. I nodded and held it up.

“Yep. Got it right here. I just want y'all to know,” I spoke up, grabbing everyone's attention, “that my gift is going to out-do all of yours, so don't feel bad.” There were ‘haha’s or ‘whatever’s in response.

“Dr. Banner is on his way here in the elevator,” F.R.I.D.A.Y announced. We all stood quietly, waiting for him to arrive. The doors opened and Bruce stepped out, slowly walking over to where we were assembled.

“Uh...good evening. Something I should know about?” he asked warily. We all laughed before Tony walked forward and handed him an envelope.

“Happy Birthday Bruce. We all got you something, and we're all going out for dinner tonight, in your honor.” Bruce smiled before opening his gift.

“You guys don't have to do that. A trip to Bora Bora? Thanks Tony.” The men embraced before Natasha and Sam walked up with their gift. “A bottle of the finest vodka and the finest bourbon. Thanks guys.”

One by one everyone gave Bruce their gift. Thor also gave him liquor, but it was for ‘the other guy’. Rhodey and Sam got Bruce snowboarding lessons and a chance to go skydiving. Wanda and Vision went in together and got him a full hour massage session. Steve, Bucky and Alice booked Bruce some time at a local boxing gym, their services included. Clint gave him a stress free weekend at his farm, along with pictures drawn by Clint’s kids. Finally, it was my turn.

“Alright everyone, glad y'all saved the best for last,” I joked as I stepped forward. Everyone laughed as I handed the present to Bruce, my heart racing and hands trembling slightly. He chuckled before pulling the wrapping paper off and opening the box. He paused as he read the front of the document inside, before he hurriedly sat on the nearby couch. My heart jumped up into my throat as he read more of the paperwork. After a moment, he glanced up at me, eyes brimming with tears.

“Is this for real?” He asked shakily. I nodded, sniffling as I tried to keep my own tears at bay. He looked back at the papers and smiled the biggest smile I've ever seen. He stood up and grabbed me in a bear hug. I hugged him back and we stood there, the rest of the team sharing puzzled looks. After a while, we broke apart, before Bruce picked up the paperwork and walked over to the bar, looking for a pen.

“Uh Bruce? What's going on? What's in the box?” Tony asked hesitantly. Bruce finally located a pen and began to sign the document, answering Tony as he flipped pages.

“Evie gave me the best gift ever,” he called over his shoulder. He finished signing the last page with a flourish and turned to face everyone. “These are adoption papers. As soon as these are filed, Evie will officially be my daughter.” There was a collective gasp, followed by an ‘aww’ from Wanda.

“That is the sweetest thing I've ever seen,” she cooed. I could see that most of the team didn't understand, so I explained.

“Growing up, I was passed around from relative to relative. By the time I would get settled in, I was dumped onto the next person. I don't remember my real parents, and all I know about them is that I severely cut in on their drug habits.” I looked over at Bruce and smiled fondly. “So, for Bruce to take me under his wing the way he did has meant the world to me. And since he has no children of his own, this is a win-win for both of us.” Nods and murmurs of agreement came from everyone.

“Well, it looks like we have more to celebrate than just Bruce,” Tony declared, clapping his hands. I shook my head as everyone made to board the elevator.

“No this is still just Bruce's day. These won't be official for a while, and that's even if they're approved.” Tony looked put out, and I grinned. “Don't worry Tony. If and when these are approved and certified, we can all celebrate then. Promise.” He smiled at that before motioning for me to enter before him.

Once we were all in, the elevator closed and we descended to the garage. Bucky, Alice, Steve and I all got into my Jeep, and we headed to the restaurant that Tony had reserved for us.

“So adoption?” Steve started. I chuckled before grabbing his hand.

“Yes. I didn't want anyone to know, otherwise I would have told you first.” I didn't think this would bother Steve.

“No it's fine. Just never saw it coming is all.” He squeezed my hand as he followed Tony through the traffic. I could tell he was still tense about something, as he avoided my eyes.

“Just think Steve. Now you have someone you can get permission from,” Bucky pointed out.

“Permission for what?” I asked, turning to stare at him.

“Buck…” Steve warned.

“Bucky, drop it,” Alice chimed in. He grinned at her before turning back to me.

“You're Steve's girlfriend right?” I nodded in confirmation. He snuck a peek at Steve before going on.

“James Buchanan Barnes, shut your fucking mouth before I shut it for you,” Steve growled, their eyes meeting in the rear view mirror. Alice slapped her hand over his mouth in an attempt to shut him up before he went too far, but he was able to lean away and keep talking, smirking at Steve.

“What's the one thing that an old-fashioned guy like Steve would want to ask his girlfriend’s dad for permission to do?” He looked back at Steve to gauge his reaction. I glanced over too, slightly alarmed at what I saw.  

“Steve, relax before you break my car,” I warned. He loosened his grip on my steering wheel before shooting Bucky a death glare. “Take her out? No he's already doing that. Uh…” I trailed off, thinking. “Oh, asking for her hand in mar-” Oh my god. There's no way. Bucky nodded at me knowingly as a literal growl came from Steve. Alice and I made eye contact, worried about the tension between our boys.

We had finally made it to the restaurant parking lot. Steve had barely hit the brakes before Bucky was scrambling out of the door. Steve put the Jeep in park, turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt and turned the lights off, all in a matter of seconds, before he too was out the door and chasing Bucky down. Alice and I slowly made our way to the rest of the group, watching the two super soldiers throw snow at and chase each other.

“What's going on with those two?” Nat asked as we walked up.

“Bucky let loose a secret and Steve's pissed,” Alice replied. Bucky came running back, Steve hot on his tail. I reached out and grabbed my boyfriend's arm, pulling him towards me, as Alice did the same to Bucky.

“Hey, you guys go ahead. I wanna talk to Steve alone,” I told them. He huffed in defeat as everyone walked into the restaurant, flipping Bucky off as he followed them inside.

“Sorry about that. It's been awhile since we played in the snow. We're not huge fans of it anymore,” he apologized, wrapping his arms around me to warm me up.

“It's ok. Look, if he was being serious, then you don't have to ask for permission. I know it's what men did in your day and age, but nowadays it's not something that's routinely practiced.” Steve was staring at the ground, not wanting to look me in the eyes. “The answer will be ‘yes’ regardless if you get permission or not,” I assured him, ducking to catch his eyes. A smile slowly crept over his face as he realized what I meant.

“That's your answer then?”

“Yes.” He swung me around before setting me back on my feet and kissing me. I smiled against his lips before pulling back. “I'm not into having an audience during moments like this, so I'm good if you are. But, if you had something planned out, go for it. My answer won't change.” He smiled before putting his arm around my shoulder and walking into the restaurant.

“It's good to know your answer and that it won't change. I did have something planned but, if you're ok with this then I won't bother.” He look crestfallen at the thought of not being able to get down on one knee.

“No I want you to do it. I can tell you'll be bummed out if you don't get to do it the way you wanted, so please, by all means, do it,” I offered. He laughed and nodded.

“Ok.”

“Besides, we need a ring first,” I pointed out. I glanced up at him and did a double take. He was smiling his wolfy smile again. “You already have it, don't you?” His smile got bigger before the hostess asked our names.

“Oh, we’re with Tony Stark.” She smiled and led us to the table.

MIDNIGHT IDEA* bus so I dont have to pay rent while going to school/studying to get the job that will allow me to work and live around the world. hense vegabonding after bussing. No roommates, no rent, no part time job money worries, small space, less mess, fewer distractions. I can work part time if I want to, not cause I have to. I can be close to school, no comute, close to my kichen, less money spent eating out. I feel the time for study is getting closer.

I like the idea of bus before boat, cause when I get land the bus is home base while I build. Then the bus is safely left on the property. The boat is a little less safe left in the water.

You’d think I would vegabond before biofuel, but i just got a craving…. then I got an incling, “maybe these arnt one time phases.” cause now i got another thought, I'm back to the vegabond route, but a more "stay-awhilebond" feelin. Like hop into communities with the intensión of staying a while, maybe better with this new "normal" places might want you to quarentine. But, boat life, Bus life, House life, Back-pack life. and they keep heluxing round and round. And there’s always new hobbies, interests, self discoveries and purposes. With constant sweet notes of good food, friendship, discovery. And never ending curiosity.

MIDNIGHT VISION: 1 am, drinkin water by the gallon…. a song comes on. I can’t hold it in. The bus bursts open and I pour my heart out down the empty street. Pirouette’s under street lamp spot lights, broken hearts to car hoods. Coming to an hour latter, looking around, ‘where am I?´ Time to choose a walking home song. A small space will be good for me. Forces me to get outta the house.

There’s no correct order, or direct timeline. Remove the 5 hinderances, and listen to what the moon says is best for you right now. Sailing also sounds better with a crew, thanks to Swell, by Liz Clark.

Recycle Sailing Fleet. Bee Bike Troup. The little book of Aquireing Knowledge series. 

Vegabond. Live, Work and Study in so many other countries.You can do this after 35 aswell. You can find amazing work oportunities that don’t require the permit, that will sponsor a permit, that wants to marry you. Or you’ll fit into the specialist or exeption section. You’re not necessarily looking for a typical, need a working vissa job anyway. Plus, some countries might not have this restriction, you never looked for your self.

We were talking with Josie the other day and we got on to the different types of lives on the security-adventure scale. For argument sake, we named 4 main ones. The people who never leave the towns they grew up in, the ones who do but settle some where, the ones who move every so often, keeping it fresh and the ones who never stop, who, say live out of a back-pack or travel the world on a bike, throwing them selves into the unknown. When she spoke of these people, my heart fluttered…..  

House sit, wwooff, work-away when the world alows open travel again. And maybe Do it by bike? As few planes as possible. LIVE in the cities of the world, get to know them, be a part of them. Know the public places, the baker on the courner, where the oldest trees and stairs are.

Entreprenuer. Have your own business. Work for your self. See one note Starters.

Homestead. Own Property out right. I will pay for everything up-front, all the money I save on interest by waiting will be trippled by keeping the money invested till there is more then enough for the propert, land and home development. Enough will be left over, and remain invested, to continue growing at a steady, live a comfortable life and travel as I wish, take what ever courses i wish rate.

Raise your kids here, with stability providing safety. Routine creating tradition that will be imprinted in them for ever, every pumpkin pie will make them feel their childhood in fall, and the excitment of starting school again. Let them grow conected to nature and their food. Atleast till 7. Then ask them what they want to do? wanna go to school in the city? wanna live in a bus and travel across the continent? Wanna live in a boat and sail around the world? Please learn another language, spanish is easy and lots of places different to us. 

Maybe kids raised in a bus or on a boat might could also be a good thing. After rocking Nera to sleep, for only less then an hour, it occured to me, a rocking boat or moving bus would be great right now.

Sail around the world with an electric assist bike and a survival libraray

Return to the nice place, with enough acres for privacy, gardens, animals, out door hot tubs, a green house, all within a food forest and be within walking distance of neighbours and a satisfying community hub. Some people watching spots and art events can be a comfortable scooter ride away. maybe this is the same place as the homestead. Maybe my parents are with my by this point.  

Bio Bus. I’ve been in the office 6 months now, and im starting to want a change. Change just might be my nature. So maybe it’s back to the bus. This time with Gatto, Pero, Pollo, bicicleta and creator machines. Traversing the continent selling soaps, teas, hot snacks wrapped in bees wax at ski hills, soaking potions, spa days at tree planter camps and tickets to movie nights.    

BLUE PRINTS:

Movement Space: soft matt 5x5, to emcompass my whole body’s reach in every angle. hand holds ancored into the floor for traction. ropes hanging from the roof for balance, suport. golf and tenis balls for massage.

Kitchen Hacks: design cooking area to be re-panted every few years cause it gets so dam dirty and change is a must. window sills for herbs to grow. sinks with water spouts that fill in the middle and swivel. counters with an over hang so you can sit. lots of different lighting options. Wooden counter top, i hate the sound of everything clanging on marble 

Ideal Community: lots of greenery, big old trees, bike and walk friendly, inviting public spaces, big enough that I want to go out and be apart of it, that i have places and people to visit and watch. A place with seasons. I don´t want to be hot and itchy all year round. A place where people steward the land, and shape it with Peter Pan’s elegant hands. No generic, shitty, fast food joints, only healthy artisian. Beautiful works of arcitecture harmanizing our day to day with nature. No junk advertisments.

together with her housemates and watch television then phoned her boyfriend earlier than retiring to a bedroom within the basement the condominium used to be a hub of endeavor and as probably the most residents had mislaid their keys it wasn’t exotic for the front door to be left open into the early hours some thing that shouldn’t have long gone omitted to a peeping tom like bundy no person in the apartment heard a thing that night they were not alerted to anything being mistaken except Linda’s alarm clock went off the next morning and her employers called to ask why she hadn’t turned up for work after checking her room her mattress was once uncharacteristically neatly made but there was no sign of Linda it wasn’t until the evening but Linda’s concerned mother and father alerted the

unless a lot later that night however they even searched her room after one among her roommates acquired three silent mobile calls after pulling back the covers of her mattress bloodstains had been located and some clothes were missing it was once becoming obvious plus someone had entered the house via the unlocked entrance door attacked Linda rendering her unconscious earlier than placing up her nightgown and gathering up a metamorphosis of garments before carrying her out into the night time to an unknown place from this factor no females inside the subject used to be reliable nevertheless unfortunately for some they have been unaware of this and that was once the case for Bundy’s next victim her title was Donna Gail Manson a 19 year old pupil from the Evergreen State

7:00 p.M.With the intention of attending a jazz concert held on campus regrettably she under no circumstances made it Donna vanished earlier than attaining the campus snatched with the aid of Bundy as she made her solution to the gig for her friends her no-exhibit and disappearance had been average of Donna and she wasn’t reported lacking except 7 days later just over a month later a young woman called Kathleen Cara da levo had an unnerving encounter with a stranger in the car park at the central State Washington institution the place she used to be a pupil it was once around 10:00 p.M.And Kathleen had simply left the library and began jogging to a vehicle when she heard the sound of whatever being dropped on the pavement she grew to become around to peer Bundy seeking to choose up

Kathleen became fearful and realized that she could also be in chance and after reaching the vehicle she made a hasty retreat she had an awfully lucky get away but it seems that Bernie was frustrated that his meant victim had escaped and so I went searching for an extra that unlucky woman was 18-12 months old fellow student suzanne elaine Runcorn who disappeared on her manner back from a dorm on

They are one of the nicest boards you can buy, both quality wise, and clout wise. Since Burton is one of the nicest boards you can buy, it is associated with clout. Therefore if you have a Burton you automatically look like an experienced snowboarder. Burton also has multiple lines within their brand. For example, they own Analog, who makes snowboarding helmets. Burton fits well into the marketing mix. Although their prices can be high, their product, placement, and promotion, are exceptional.

How to winterize your skin

New Post has been published on https://www.claritymakeupartistry.com/how-to-winterize-your-skin/

How to winterize your skin

The winter months are fast approaching, which means egg nog, family, holiday cheer, lots of food and …dry skin? Luckily, the last one doesn’t have to be a a part of your holiday season if you take our advice here at Got Beauty. Seasons change, and your skin care routine should change with them, so before you begin you Sugarhouse Christmas shopping, stop by Got Beauty to make sure your skins is looking fresh for this chilly holiday season ahead (because you know your aunt is going to take like…a thousand pictures of your face)!

In the winter time, its all about moisture and hydration. Since we live in a desert this is even more important! Consider switching up your moisturizer to something a little heavier for the winter months. Consider a moisturizer that has Phospholipids, or Hyaluronic acid in it. These moisture locking ingredients pull moisture to the surface of the skin and keep it there all day. Try Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Acid Serum. You can also apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp to lock in hydration. Dermalogica Clear Start Hydrating Lotion. Moisturizing, plant-based Squalane softens and nourishes while hyaluronic Acid provides instant relief of skin dehydration.

Also, and this should go without saying but stay hydrated ALWAYS! Even though you won’t be seating as much as the summer time, you need to drink 8-10 8 oz glasses of water a day to ensure your skin looks supple and hydrated. 

Invest in a humidifier, we live in a desert, so the dry air can really take a toll on your skin especially when we crank the indoor heat when it’s cold outside. If you sleep with a humidifier the body can take full advantage of this crucial time to heal itself and remedy dry skin. A humidifier will also help your moisturizer or night cream to work to its full potential. When you are using a really great moisturizer, you may not be getting the full effects of it because their isn’t enough moisture in the air, but a humidifier will definitely help.

Sunscreen is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer. Just because you can’t see the sun doesn’t mean it isn’t out there. Load up on your sunscreen especially if you are going to be skiing or snowboarding this season, the reflection of the snow amps up the harmful rays onto your skin. Try Supergoop’s broad spectrum sunscreen.

Increase your omega 3 intake with fish oil capsules, or if you’re vegan/vegetarian eat lots of avocados, raw nuts, chia or ground flax seeds. Salmon, spinach and kale are also excellent sources of omegas. These healthy fats help to maintain glowy skin and retain moisture. 

Treat yourself to a moisturizing mask once a week. We like GLAMGLOW’s Thirsty Mud Treatment. After your mask, you can increase circulation and collagen production on your face by using this Kitsch Jade Roller. 

Avoid harsh exfoliators and cleansers. They will make your skin feel smooth at first, but will cause more damage as they pull out necessary moisture when its dry and cold out. Dermalogica Essential Cleanser is a safe bet that wont strip the moisture out of your skin.

One of the most calming things you can do when it’s cold outside is relaxing bath. If you need a night in, try this herbal remedy to get more out of your bath than just stress relief. Boil  one cup of water, chamomile tea leaves, and a cup of rosemary, then toss it in your tub. Redness and dry patches will disappear with this simple concoction, and you won’t be spending a fortune to help your skin!

Stay warm this winter, and keep that skin glowing!

Engelberg – Switzerland’s secret mountain paradise

I’ve been to Switzerland many times over the past decade. My best friend growing up moved to Neuchâtel after college graduation and I’ve been visiting here there ever since.

My very first visit to the Swiss Alps way back when in 2008 in fact sparked a fire in me that has slowly grown into a great love for big mountains and pristine wilderness, and has carried over with me on my move abroad to New Zealand.

In many ways, New Zealand is like Switzerland, just with about a million less people and 5% of their efficient infrastructure. We don’t have mountains villages and elaborate gondolas and certainly don’t have fabulous mountaintop hotels that offer fondue and champagne any time of year – I wish. Though we do have pretty mountains and a perchance for extreme humility.

Liz, where are you going with this?

Ah right. Mountains.

So what I was getting at was that I’ve been to Switzerland a lot but I often go to the same area of the Alps – the Jungfrau and Interlaken. It’s a region I know and love very well, and with so many layers and hidden gems, you can go back again and again and feel like you’re discovering new spots.

But this last trip over to the land of fantastic cheese and chocolate, I wanted to explore some of the alpine areas I was unfamiliar with.

Cue Engelberg.

25 photos that will make you fall in love with Switzerland

  Unless you’re even better traveled than I am, or you are a freeride ski nut or you’re from India, you might not have heard of this incredible mountain mecca lorded over by the incredible Mt Titlus. Fair enough.

Probably the most popular freeride center in Switzerland (ie riding on natural un-groomed terrain), Engelberg attracts some of the best skiers and snowboarders around the world to its crazy-ass descents, along with other powder fiends to enjoy the colossal expanse of mountains right on the doorstep.

Why yes, I’ll be back here at some point for a shred. I love winter in Switzerland.

And randomly, Engelberg and Mt Titlus is an incredibly popular backdrop in heaps of Bollywood films. It is the Hollywood almost to Indian travelers. Like, heaps of group tours from India stop here for just one night. They go to Rome, Milan, then Engelberg, before heading off to Paris and then London. So random but cool.

The largest winter and summer holiday destination in Central Switzerland, Engelberg has it all. And even though it can be wildly popular, it has so many little haunts and corners to explore that you can easily feel like you can have the place to yourself.

It was early June when I found myself weaving along the picturesque switchback mountain roads leading up to the town of Engelberg from Lucerne, where I had just been staying. Mists settled on the tops of the peaks but the air was clean and fresh. Delightful.

I was so excited to explore a new part of Switzerland, especially one that I hadn’t heard of before.

The history and charm

Ready to check into the charming and historic Alpenclub in the center of town, my mouth just dropped open when I walked inside. What a cute hotel – it even smells old.

I am such a sucker for historical hotels, something we seriously lack in our modern and new New Zealand, and the alpine old cabin vibe that permeates every inch of Alpenclub wooed me as soon as I walked in the door and got my first whiff of it.

From the wooden walls and floors to the quirky additions to the creaky stairs, I fell in love with this place instantly.

For a really good cup of coffee, something not easily found in Switzerland (why?!), head to Kafikaufbar in Engelberg, a quirky and cute cafe that does good coffee and hot chocolate and local fresh pastries, though I’m fairly certain it’s cash only.

Nearby the other main attraction of the town is the Engelberg Monastery, a benedictine abbey founded in 1120. Nowadays it’s a school but it reminds me of something straight out of the Sound of Music, and it’s the beating heart of Engelberg.

Imagine going here as a kid. Wow.

The mighty Titlus and stunning alpine lakes

But of course the one and only way to experience the best Engelberg has to offer is to head up to the mighty Mt. Titlus which overlooks the town. Sitting high and proper at a whopping 3,238 meters, you can’t miss it.

The mountain is connected from Engelberg through an elaborate system of cable cars which allow you to experience it all however you want. While many chose to go straight up to the very top, it’s well worth taking the time to see what all the mountain has to offer.

It was a moody day when we went hiking around the incredible alpine lake of Trübsee, which is one of the cable car stops on the way up Mt. Titlus.

Often overlooked by those glamoured by the call of the top of Titlus, there are hundreds of kilometers of trails in the area, with something for everyone.

With moody clouds on the horizon and rain threatening, we had the walks around the to ourselves.

Last winter saw heaps of snow in the Swiss Alps and there was still plenty about even in June, which meant that some of the trails were still buried under snow.

But with the late spring and early summer meant that there were plenty of wildflowers dotting the landscape. They even have a dedicated alpine flower trail that you can follow around the mountains.

Misty mountains and azure glaciers

The weather packed in by the time we made our way to the last stop on the cable car at the top of Titlus above the glacier, and as much as I would have loved to experience the mountain on a sunny day, I don’t mind the rain and gloom.

For me there is something pleasant and comforting about the rain, who knows.

And I love how the mountains look as the peek through the mists and clouds. It makes them seem even bigger and more unattainable to me, and reminds you how little control you have over this wilderness.

The top of Titlus is a winter wonderland and well worth visiting even in the rain, especially in the world’s first rotating gondola. Switzerland, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re ridiculous.

At the top of Titlus, along with restaurants and plenty of activities you can also walk around inside the glacier, and trust me, it never gets old to see people who’ve never walked on snow or ice before slide their way around inside.

You can also walk across Europe’s highest suspension bridge, which I’m told has great views. Ethereal and spooky, it was fairly daunting to walk across it in the clouds.

Oh, and the cheese. All the cheese

I come to Switzerland for two things: cheese and mountains. And Engelberg has both in abundance.

While raclette and fondue are mostly winter delicacies, you can still beg some of the shops and restaurants to serve you them in summer, like at the Cheese Factory, which is connected to the monastery and where you can watch the local cheese being made. Heaven.

Have you been to Engelberg before? Do you love mountains and cheese as much as me? Share!

Many thanks to My Switzerland for hosting me in Engelberg – like always I’m keeping it real – all opinions are my own – like you could expect less from me!

How to Write a Badass Professional Bio for Every Platform

Maybe you just got a snazzy new job or a big promotion.

Or maybe you’re about boost your brand with a speaking gig or a blog contribution and your professional bio has gone the way of those tortilla chips in the back of the cabinet (a bit stale).

Either way, it’s time to chain yourself to your keyboard and write something we all dread -- a professional bio.

Writing about yourself isn’t easy. It’s a fine line between cocky and confident and you’re never quite sure when you’ve locked down the totality of your career and passions.

Full transparency: When I started at IMPACT in February, I had to write one of these monsters myself -- and to be honest, I don’t like how it came out:

“Jason is a journalist-turned-marketer passionate about how storytelling and targeted messaging create business-changing content.

As an Account Executive, he is responsible for implementing inbound marketing strategies that help his clients increase brand awareness, generate leads, and acquire new customers.

When he isn’t working, you’ll find Jason reading on the beach, hunting down mono vinyl, and playing guitar.”

I’m going to hit two birds with this post and provide actionable tips and advice that will help put your mind (and mine) at ease so we can write better professional bios.  

After all, this is some of the most important public-facing copy we will ever write. When done right, your bio can help expand your personal brand, build awareness for yourself and your business, or even win you new business.

Upon these words rest the fate of our entire careers.  

Okay, I’m being hyperbolic but you get it; Our bios are an important first impression and we often neglect them because it is uncomfortable to write about ourselves.    

Without further adieu, this is my guide to writing badass bios for every major platform.    

General Tips

Let’s start with some quick things you should, and shouldn’t, do no matter where the bio is going to be posted.

Things you should do:

Pick the Right Point of View

When deciding whether to write your bio in the first (I) or third (Jason Rose) person, the general rule of thumb is to consider who is introducing you.

Meaning, when your bio appears on a company page, you are being introduced by your company so it makes sense to use the third person.

Ditto for conferences or most publications. I know it makes you feel like Kanye West, but unless it’s explicitly requested, get those “I”s out of your bio.

On the other hand, when you are writing a bio for your social media profile, it is better to the use the first person. Here you’re perceived as the “publisher,” so you’re introducing yourself.  

Establish why you’re qualified (but be human)

It’s a tall order, but a good bio establishes your experience and qualifications, but also that you’re a human being complete with a pulse and a personality.

If an AI application could machine-learn how to write your bio by crawling job descriptions — you’re doing something wrong.

Have a human voice and tone that is professional enough to represent you from 9 to 5, but doesn’t completely betray who you are from 7 to 10.       

Even if you’re in a field that is very conservative, use human language and avoid jargon specific to your industry.  

Things you shouldn’t do:

Play Buzzword Bingo

It’s easier to learn from the don'ts than the do’s — so I will fall back on my sword.  

I think my least favorite thing about my bio is the sour note I played with this first sentence.

“Jason is a journalist-turned-marketer passionate about how storytelling and targeted messaging create business-changing content.”

Journalist-turned-marketer is interesting enough and conveys my career path but everything after passionate is a buzzword or a conjunction setting up another buzzword.

That’s not to say buzzwords don’t have their place. After all, they communicate to an audience that you’re in their tribe and have a shared language, but, when we take industry jargon too far, we are just hiding behind it and safely filling space.

It’s better to speak in universal terms that resonate with your community, but could be understood by anyone.  

When possible, break away from buzzwords and you’ll stand out from the sea of sameness.  

Be all tell, no show   

Someone as apparently “passionate about storytelling” as I am should know to follow the most golden of all story rules.

Show, don’t tell.

According to wikipedia, this idiom is credited to Russian playwright Anton Chekhov who said "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass."

You may be working with fewer characters than Chekhov, but whenever possible don’t tell someone who you are, show them.

Fellow IMPACTer Liz Murphy’s bio is a great example of this.

“As IMPACT's content strategist, Liz does more than wrangle commas. With more than 10 years of editorial and inbound marketing experience, she's obsessed with innovating new ways of creating amazing content that's absurdly useful and effective. (She also works with in-house contributors and clients as an editor, strategist, interviewer, coach, and sometimes therapist.)”  

What a great first note.

I started my bio with a screeching violin and this is Jimmy Page’s first bend in the Stairway to Heaven guitar solo (the moment that song no longer sucks).

Instead of telling you “I’m skilled editorially but can wear many marketing hats” with her first sentence, Liz showed you: “As IMPACT's content strategist, Liz does more than wrangle commas.

Bravo, Liz.    

Make it all about you

How dare you make your bio all about yourself.

Like any great copy, if your bio doesn’t explicitly its intended audience value, it’s dead on arrival.  

Using Liz’s bio once again as an example, “No matter which hat she's wearing, her goal is simple -- to empower organizations and thought leaders to differentiate themselves and drive measurable results through game-changing content.

Throughout her career, Liz has worked with organizations across a wide range of industries -- from cyber security and health care, to government sales and insurance.”

If I’m a business stakeholder reading this bio, I know what’s in it for me.  

Different Copy for Different Platforms

While the tips above are best practices no matter what, bios aren’t one size fits all and each platform has specific constraints and considerations.

Let’s discuss some of the most common and important:

1. The Company/Team Page

The most important thing to keep in mind when writing a professional bio for your company’s collateral is that you want to differentiate yourself, but within the value proposition of your company and in their voice and tone.  

To put it simply, you want to stand out but not too much.  

I think we all agree that consistent messaging is a must for any brand or business, but I still sometimes come across impeccably written websites with a singular voice and tone, until I get to the author bios.

Then, suddenly the organization feels like a collection of individuals, and no matter how interesting they all personally appear to be, they don’t communicate that this business is a united entity focused on providing me the product, solution, or service I sorely need.    

2. Blogs and third-party publications

The best advice I have to offer with blog bios is to ensure that it speaks directly to the subject you are writing about.

Think Aristotle’s ethical appeals. There is no ethos in using the limited inline space of a blog about quantum physics to share that you love to snowboard.

For third-party publications, you’ll usually have to defer to the style prescribed by the editor.

My suggestion: use the bio to sneak in a link back to one of your owned web properties.

Aside from that sweet link juice, this sends users who like your article to somewhere you have complete control of messaging and how they can engage with you.  

3. LinkedIn

LinkedIn caps your bio (called a summary here) at 2,000 characters.

This gives you plenty of real estate to stretch out and write more, but just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Keep it tight and only share as much is necessary to tell your story.

Also, be cognizant of what is visible before the visitor expands the module and clicks <see more>.

If you’re buying the good stuff, chances are no one is going to click show more.

Chris, our COO at IMPACT, does a great job in his LinkedIn summary of differentiating himself with his core principles and military background before the user has to click.

4. Facebook

Unlike LinkedIn, Facebook only gives you 101 characters to share your story.

It does, however, give you the unique option to set your bio as permanent or temporary in 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or custom increments. These temporary bios keep the information fresh and allow you to describe not just who you are, but what is most exciting in your career right now.  

For many of us, Facebook is largely a platform for our personal relationships, while professional networking activities live on LinkedIn, but if you’re building a personal brand, your Facebook page is an integral asset.

For tips and tricks about how to build a personal brand with Facebook, I defer to the always informative Neil Patel.   

5. Twitter

While I’ve made my feelings about my company bio clear, I actually like my Twitter Bio.  

The constraints (160 characters) and the short-hand of the platform provide the opportunity to get creative. It’s also worth noting that the platform is comparatively much less stuffy than LinkedIn, so feel free to have fun with it.    

Just don’t go full 2014 with MARKETER | WRITER | LOVER OF PANDAS or mention that you like to drink coffee.  

While I haven’t taken advantage, it’s a good idea to hashtag any industry relevant keywords to boost the discoverability of your profile, and don’t forget to @ your company!

6. Instagram 

Instagram bios force you to make due with 150 characters or less.

Given the platform’s users can’t put links into posts, that is one of the most important functions of the bio.

Like Twitter, make sure you include hashtags that lead to relevant galleries, or @ links that lead to your company’s profile.  

Think of your Instagram bio almost like PPC ad copy that you are using to drive people to content. You have to be short and savvy about how you use your space.

7. Speaking Proposals and Collateral

The great thing about writing your bio for speaking engagements is that you know the specific audience it should be tailored for.

So often we struggle with our LinkedIn/Twitter/Company bios because we are trying to be all things to all people.

To knock your speaking bio out of the park, learn all you can about the audience for the specific event or conference. Who has attended in the past? What was the most popular topic?

Uncover their needs (articulated or not), and tailor your bio messaging to demonstrate why you will be the speaker that’s forcing latecomers to stand in the back.  

I hoped this post helped you shed imposter syndrome (I’m projecting) and now you can write bios for any platform that put your best foot forward.

Renegade squirrel narrowly avoids death by snowboard at the Olympics

A squirrel with a death wish was nearly run over during the parallel giant slalom at the 2018 Winter Olympics on Saturday.

Austrian snowboarder Daniela Ulbing was in the middle of her run when a squirrel suddenly ran onto the slope just inches in front of her snowboard.

In typical squirrel fashion, the rodent came face-to-face with the moment of impact before deciding the slalom course was a bad place to be. It turned around only after nearly colliding with Ulbing. 

Though the moment was quick, it does appear that Ulbing spotted the squirrel, and possibly adjusted her path to avoid a collision. The world thanks you, Ulbing.
