Social Media Trend June 2026
This edition of SLS comes to you from Lake Como, Italy!
A friend is getting married in Paris next week, so my husband and I decided to extend the trip to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary.
I have to admit, when we first got here, I felt a bit uncomfortable.
The ceilings were high and gorgeous, the view… stunning and gorgeous, even the air smelled gorgeous.
The staff was ever-doting. At least 10 Mandarin Oriental Staff greeted us within the first 20 minutes of being in the hotel, each of them overtly kind and gracious.
I felt like this place was maybe toonice for my bones.
I brushed the crumbs off the black T-shirt I was wearing.
I wondered if my sneakers were too American. I knew they were.
I want to tell you that I can’t believe I’d ever be here in this gorgeous place, at a gorgeous hotel for a vacation of my own volition.
But you know what?
That wouldn’t be true.
Because I dreamed this.
I envisioned luxurious European getaways since I was a young age. This is the type of trip I always wanted.
I can believe this.
Pinch me. It’s real now.
I’m settling in. I’m soaking it in. I am meant to be here.
Brian & I spent much of today reminiscing on the highlights of each of the last 10 years. It went like this:
2015 - Baby
2016 - Wedding
2017 - Moved to Jersey
2018 - New Job
2019 - Baby no. 2
2020 - We all know what happened that year
2021 - Hawaii vacation
2022 - New Job & Building Authentic
2023 - Going All-In with Authentic
2024 - ACN, & this Silly Little Social community we have here!
2025 - SLS Podcast
to Today… 2026
We’ve been so busy, building toward the life we want, that these years have flown by.
It got me thinking about the next ten years…
I believe that my next ten years will be more grounded, a little more intentionally slow, as we work toward optimizing what we have instead of starting from zero.
So I’m sharing this for you as an original content prompt to help you share your story, and to document now, so that future you can look back on all you’ve done.
What stands out for you in each year of the last 10 years? Defining highs or lows.
Have you stopped to think about if any of your dreams have come true yet? Was there a moment you had to question, do I deserve this amazing moment? (Like my crumbs on my shirt insecurity at the 5 star Lake Como hotel…)
In the next chapter 10 years from today, what do you want to be celebrating?
What is that ‘dream’ In the back of your mind that feels like it would so Incredible If It came true?
The view from Lake Como is gorgeous, but so is the view backward.
Pull out your phone, and tell the story of the authentic life YOU are building.
Future you is going to want to look back on all of it.
XO,
Lindsay
Social Trend of the Week
Watch My Body Change
What’s that one thing that makes you feel happy and energized? Use that as your starting point and show us what happens to your body when you stop consuming it.
This trend is funny because people expect a real wellness transformation, but what they get is you suffering without your thing. It could be coffee, matcha, boba, soda. Pick your poison. You can also surprise us with a real change if you actually have one, which gives people who already know this trend a fun twist.
Examples: Caffeine, Drinking, Sugar , Holiday, Runner
