:: GirlUp + Pippit!

June 7, 2014

I wanted to tell you about two really interesting new things! Because I think they are SUPER great! And I know you want to know about great stuff! Let’s go!

1. GirlUp

My friend Hailey Bartholomew shared a video (or two!) she made for GirlUp. GirlUp is SUCH A GOOD THING. It makes me feel VERY EXCITED to read about it. Have you heard about it? GirlUp teaches our girls about the challenges OTHER girls in developing nations face.

The program discusses the lack of education, healthcare, food and equality many girls experience and focuses on encouraging OUR girls to find ways to help. There’s a whole awesome GirlUp club initiative that schools and groups can sign up for. (OF COURSE girls want to create their very own club to help other girls!)

Over 370 000 girls are part of GirlUp and the BIG message is that we can all make a BIG difference if we just GET STARTED! I hope you get the girls in your life started!

2. Pippit

Created by Joy from the blog Oh! Joy and Naomi and Josh from Love Taza, Pippit could just be the next Facebook and Instagram all rolled into one! It’s very new at the moment, so it’s not quite as sprightly as it will be, but I am in love already.

It’s a social media platform with a difference. Yes, you can add images with captions and plonk a filter on them too (just like Instagram!) but the bonus is that you can also add LINKS (via a feature called DOTS!) and send people off to your blog, someone else’s blog or another website.(Instagram TOTALLY missed the boat on that!) You can also add friends and view/like/comment on other people’s photos/posts (called PIPS!) too.

Pippit has other useful features like Analytics (to show you who’s been clicking on your Pippit stuff) and a great category function so you can sort through all the pretty PIPS easily!

Follow me there if you join! My username is meetmeatmikes!

Happy weekend, lovers!

x Pip

    I’d like to thank you for the efforts you have put in penning this blog. I am hoping to view the same high-grade content by you later on as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my own site now ;)…
