WHAT IS HAYLIE’S DAILIES?
Haylie’s Dailies is your online destination for a daily dose of creative content curated just for you. What does this mean? Every day I will create or source a new happy, fun, positive Instagram post for you to enjoy—whether it’s a photograph with a story behind it, a funny joke, a highlight of a business I enjoy, an inspirational message, a fun video, a delicious recipe, etc.
WHAT IS A DAILY?
A Daily is the post of the day. Meaning, every day I will post one Daily on Instagram. Sometimes a post will expand over to my blog where you can take a deeper dive into the content behind the post.
CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE?
Well sure! One day I might post a guide to living in a new city, while the next day could be a joke like, "What did one plate say to the other? Dinner's on me!" (Ba-dum-tsss!) The next day I might post the best hashtags to get your dog noticed on Instagram, and then follow that with a good drink recipe. And of course there will be themes throughout the week. (Terrible Joke Tuesday anyone?!) I'll keep it fresh and fun, and we’ll all have a good time together.
WHEN YOU SAY YOU WILL “SOURCE” A POST, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I love creating original content, and I’m excited to bring a lot of that to Haylie’s Dailies! Unfortunately, my name doesn’t rhyme with “weekly” and I want to make sure my posts are filled with quality content. Therefore, I’ll also be sourcing creative content from other creative humans around the web—linking credit back ALWAYS of course! All content will fit with my brand and I’ll only post content you will enjoy.
HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BLOGGERS?
I LOVE following bloggers and reading articles online. I so deeply appreciate and respect the creativity that goes into developing something from scratch. So how am I different? Well, you won’t see me standing in front of a mirror in the latest trendy clothes and makeup...but that’s only because I’m not fashionable and still put my eyeshadow on with a Q-tip...no one wants to see that. So instead, I will sit back and watch all of those amazing and creative humans while I run Haylie’s Dailies! Haylie's Dailies brings you a post every day. You never know what type of a post it will be, but I can promise you it will be worth checking back on a daily basis.
WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND HAYLIE’S DAILIES?
Two words: creative outlet. (Okay, maybe I need more than two words to explain this one…)
When I was just a young gal my class was tasked with developing a newsletter. This assignment was perfect for me and I titled mine "Haylie's Daily’s." (Pictured below!) I used to write for hours and hours developing creative content for my fake little newsletter that directed readers to my fake website. I think the most popular beat among my Beanie Babies was:
“It's Parachute Day in gym class. A guide to why this is the BEST DAY EVER!"
I guess this was kind of like my first blog… Man, I’m so ahead of the times! #blessed
In December 2019 I decided it was time to rebrand (obviously, lol!) and make the now-titled Haylie’s Dailies a reality. My thoughts, words, and branding are a little more grown-up, but maybe I'll throw a parachute post in here for old times’ sake...
So cheers to manifesting this little creative outlet 20-some years later and hopeful growth for Haylie’s Dailies in the future! Thanks for coming along for the ride!
The OG “Haylie’s Daily’s” - please read the above newsletter to be thoroughly entertained. ^^
WHAT IS YOUR CREATIVE BACKGROUND?
I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by creative people throughout my entire personal and professional life. My mom is a multi-faceted artist and my dad is a creative copywriter. I’m a marketing gal and I’ve worked at a big city magazine in Boston, a national digital marketing agency, a podcast, and more. I also have a side hustle with a colleague where I write creative copy for websites, marketing campaigns, etc.
The OG Haylie. Look how creative I am!!! I have paint on meeee!
