Snapchat just released a major update on their website!

Now you can create both community & on-demand geofilters in minutes with Snapchat's new web based tool.

Social media changes constantly! I just published an article last week on how to make custom on-demand geofilters. And of course, days after I got the exciting news about Snapchat's new web based tool. As I'm writing this on September 1st the update is two days old. I don't know about you, but I. AM. SO. EXCITED! This is truly a game changer for those of us who aren't talented in the graphic design department. Let me show you what it looks like:

Go to www.snapchat.com/on-demand and click "Create Now." It will then ask you to log in. This is where you'll be presented with two options:

The "Create Online" option is what I'm geeking out over! This means that I can hop on days before an event and submit a filter in literally 5 minutes, all without having to use any outside tools! I think we're going to see an influx of geofilters at events like baby showers, weddings, parties, and even restaurants and bars due to this awesome web based tool. I went on what I deemed a Snapchat Geofilter rampage yesterday. I made a filter for a friends grad party, a child's 4th birthday, a wedding in Arizona, and an upcoming anime convention in Denver called Nan Desu Kan... all thanks to this tool. One of the filters went live today as I'm writing this. Here is how it turned out for adorable Jordan's 4th birthday bash at Chuck E Cheese:

I assure you this Snapchat birthday party template is leaps and bounds better than what I would have came up with using Canva and this is why I'm pumped up about this and you should be too! If you have a small business especially that targets a younger demo, you have got to try this out. For the above filter to go live at Chuck E Cheese I only paid $5 for four hours. It's a no brainer for brick and mortar stores especially in the food, alcohol, and entertainment industries. Besides that it's the coolest gift you can give someone. I can't wait to surprise my friend at his grad party this weekend!

Check out the article from last week where I gave step by step tips on how to make a custom on-demand geofilter prior to the update (the tips are still very useful).

Shoot me a message or comment below if you have any questions about this and I'll be happy to answer them for you! You can find me on all the things @Leyla5280 ;)

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
