Hi Friends and Colleagues,
 
Happy Friday! Spring is right around the corner; I can't wait! I'm definitely ready to start preparing my veggie garden for the new season. In today's issue of Hip Happenings, in honor of National Unplugging Day, our team pondered if they could give up all technology for 24 hours and how they would feel about doing so. Plus, keep reading to meet one of our newest clients, Darling Baby Shop, and see the great media coverage we secured for our clients in the last couple of weeks. 
 
Cheers,

March 4th is National Unplugging Day, a day where you are encouraged to go
without your phone, computer, tablet, TV or any other technological device you use. Here's what the Three Girls' team had to say about going unplugged:
 
Erika-
I have zero problem unplugging! On the weekends I already try to go computer and phone free as much as possible. I love to cook so I definitely do a lot of that when I unplug, and it's also getting to be the time of year to get my veggie garden started again. I love playing in the dirt and planting seeds for new crops and that's something I find totally relaxing. When it's not raining I also am mesmerized by my 'outdoor TV' - a bonfire in our fire pit. I can sit for hours in a comfy Adirondack chair and watch the flames! If the weather isn't conducive to being outside I can always curl up in front of our fireplace and do some embroidery. 
 
Beth-
I could unplug, and I would barely look back! There's nothing I love more than wandering around the woods with my dogs, stargazing at night or cloud watching on a sunny day. If I'm indoors, I love playing board games and card games with Jake and we collect all kinds of cool and unique games! I would miss watching Netflix after a while though...!

Jenna-
I have a friend who used to celebrate his birthday at his parent's cabin where there was no cell service or Internet, so it was the equivalent of unplugging. Granted I was surrounded by friends, but I loved it! Going without technology for a bit really lets you slow down and appreciate the world around you. If I had to unplug tomorrow, I would read a book, craft something with yarn, take a walk/hike, do some drumming and play with my cats.
 
Natalie- 

To completely unplug I would need to plan majorly ahead for the day. When I go with my family to the beach it's so easy to not worry about my phone, being on my computer or watching TV. Without taking me out of my daily routine Netflix would be hard to give up and even not using my iPod at the gym would be difficult (maybe just annoying). 
 
Emily-
I'm not sure I could completely unplug. Going 24 hours without my computer wouldn't be an issue, but I relax by binge watching Netflix or playing on my phone (using social media, playing games or reading news), so 24 hours without TV or my phone would be really hard. I'd definitely need to make plans for the day to get me out of the house - and I'd need to know where I was going so I wouldn't need to use Google Maps to navigate!

- Our very own Erika Taylor Montgomery was included in a 
roundup on Business 2 Community. When asked what companies should
 be using to increase efficiency Erika suggested: "One great way to save time with social media efforts is to use a service like Hootsuite or TweetDeck to schedule all of your content. I always recommend setting aside an hour per week to write and schedule your social media posts through a social media aggregator such as those." Read more from the article here.
 
- Civil War Books and Authors featured Ghosts by Carrie Zeidman, a collection of modern images intertwined with imaginative depictions of war sites. Civil War Books and Authors notes the inspiration, "of invoking the tragic past by 'superimposing and digitally manipulating historical images of the past with photos of the present' came to author and photographer Carrie Zeidman during a visit to the Nazi concentration camps in Poland."
