Top-performing post: I created a marigold wavy bob, which was shared by quite a few large accounts. I feel like it received this reaction because all-over yellows aren’t something a client typically goes for, but when they do, you have no choice but to make it awesome!
Favorite apps: PicsArt cleans up your content with minimal effort, FilmoraGo is really user friendly for videos.
