Hi everyone 💗
I’ve been trying to get more consistent with reaching out to brands for PR/UGC opportunities, but I keep running into the same issue…
I spend time looking for emails, but a lot of them either:
bounce back
aren’t the right contact
or I just never hear back
I know PR lists are usually not “easy access,” but I feel like I might be missing something in the process.
So I wanted to ask:
👉 how are you actually getting on PR lists?
Are you:
finding specific emails somewhere?
using platforms instead?
getting added after collaborations?
or mostly through DMs?
I’ve been building my portfolio and reaching out consistently, but I’d love to know what’s actually working for you guys right now.
Any tips, strategies, or even mistakes to avoid would help a lot 🙏✨

Hi everyone! 💗
I’ve been building my workflow as a UGC/lifestyle content creator and wanted to share the tools I personally use almost every day (I’ll attach a screenshot too 👀).
Right now my go-to apps are:
Canva (for quick designs + portfolio updates)
Lightroom (for clean, aesthetic edits)
CapCut & InShot (video editing depending on the vibe)
Mojo (for IG stories/reels templates)
Notion (to organize campaigns, deadlines, ideas)
Pinterest (for content inspiration & hooks)
Linktree (to keep everything in one place)
Dazz Cam (for that vintage/film aesthetic ✨)
I feel like these cover almost everything: planning, filming, editing, and publishing.
But I’m curious—
👉 what tools are you using that actually make your workflow easier or help you land more collaborations?
I’m especially looking to improve my system for:
tracking campaigns
creating faster content
making more aesthetic/high-converting videos
Would love to hear what’s working for you 💭
After about 7 years without drawing mandalas, I recently felt drawn to create one again, very naturally.
While I was drawing it, I experienced a kind of mental quietness, but also a sense of releasing internal energy or emotions.
Now I’m curious about something deeper.
I’d like to understand if this mandala could have meaning beyond aesthetics — maybe from a symbolic, energetic, or spiritual perspective (not just basic psychology).
What stands out to me:
- The symmetry and repetition in the pattern
- The dominant use of colors like orange and pink
- The strong sense of a defined center
If anyone has experience interpreting mandalas from a more advanced perspective (symbolism, spirituality, etc.), I’d really appreciate your insights.
Thank you 🙏
