Hi friends! It’s been a whirlwind of a few days, beginning with my Instagram account @sandyalamode being down!! It was Monday morning and I was laying in bed being kind of lazy, doing some online shopping and Instagram scrolling. When my Instagram started like flashing weird and then it a message came across saying they had to review my info and if they can confirm it, I would be able to access my account within approximately 24 hours (it has currently been like 30 hours now)! I filled out a few forms where I said thought the deactivation was a mistake, I sent in a mug shot (basically) and my driver’s license. I also chatted with someone through my FB ads account and he actually called me and said that I did all the right steps and it could take up to 5 days to get my account back!! I have NO clue why it was deactivated in the first place, which is pretty frustrating, but now I guess I just wait!? :/ Mentally, it’s been a little hard on me, but I am trying to stay busy. Part of me was scared that I will never get it back (and I mean I am not 100% sure I will cuz I have no reason what I did?!?!), but trying to stay positive. It is hard though, when I rely on Instagram income to provide for my family… and we have taxes due and an upcoming house remodel. And I also know that in the grand scheme of the world, there are way bigger problems going on. It’s just been tough all around and my heart goes out to everyone struggling in any way right now.

In the last 2 days, we have had a couple more meetings for our kitchen and bathroom remodels and it’s exciting, but is also giving me a headache too a little bit. We nailed down tiles, but then you have to think about the direction of the tiles and the finish and now we are on to making hardware decisions and it’s all SO overwhelming haha!!!  

So anyways, while I wait for my IG account to come back, I guess I at least have my blog where I can talk to you all and recap recent outfits!!  I also have my LTK account where I will still be posting outfits and daily deals too!! And my Poshmark account (@sandyalamode) if you want to buy any of my gently used (some new) clothing!! I should probably think about doing more on my TikTok (@sandyalamode) or starting up a newsletter again, in the event this happens again. :/
