Testing Logo
Okay, so I'm testing out this logo. This is sort of the direction I am heading. I like the chameleon idea as it means change. I seem to be in constant change, just like the internet, just like life. What do you think? I've working to long today, this image is not the final product. I just wanted to try it.

You see for over a year now I have been experimenting with Social Media. Watching. Testing, Repeating, Changing. So many things keep changing. Anyways I have multiple blogs and I tried driving traffic to them to see what was the best way and at the same time tried to find ways of promoting myself and others. It's been an interesting year I must say.
One thing that I decided last year was to start calling myself Zipolita. You see Tina in Spanish means Bathtub! Cute eh! But if I wrote that for my blog AdventureZ in Mexico, which originally could have been Adventures of Tina (Bathtub), well you see my point. It's not to cool. That's not to say there are not lots of Spanish/Mexico woman named Tina. In Mexico some people like to call me Cristina. Which is not my name...Christina is, but they don't usually spell it that way there.
I have a blog by my name Tina Winterlik. It does okay, I have had the most traffic on it. But the name Winterlik, that's another issue, not to catchy, hard to remember, unique yes, but people can never spell it right, always putting in an "n" or "c" at the end,...winterlink, winterlick....Nope! these are not my names. So I need a new name.
I thought maybe I could use my daughter's name- Angel name for some things...name my blogs after her...my dad named his boat after me...
Originally Adventurez in Mexico, the blog was called Adventures of Angel but that I found confused people, they didn't know what it was about. So upon return home from Mexico, I made that blog private and started an entirely new one "Adventurez in Mexico!" I used a z as Adventures was all taken.
I knew I would need to promote it with Social Media and I was learning it as fast as everyone else, plus I took a course in it at Emily Carr called "FIND YOU SOCIAL MEDIUM" and I thought I could figure it out. I had started a blog called Social Media Super Hero. This was to attract as much attention I could get. On that blog I tried to let people know I could help them with Social Media. I didn't grab the facebook page though, so just so you know that's not me. I did grab Facebook pages for Adventurez in Mexico, Tina Winterik, Tina'z Social Media Workshop and Zipolita.
As I said I have multiple blogs and what I wanted to do was bring them all together under one roof. I liked the name Zipolita- Zipolite is so beautiful and "ita" means small when you add it to a word in Spanish. So I always say I carry a little of Zipolite in my heart everywhere I go. So I started calling myself Zipolita online everywhere.
I liked the Z idea, and so I added a Z to everything. Like the N in Nike I am trying to emulate what works. Adventurez in Mexico, Tina'z Blog, Tina'z Social Media Workshop, Zipolita...so I was getting there.
I figured out that blogger would let me link my blogs all together using tabs, ...most of them. But then something went wonky and some links didn't work.
During all this I came up with this fabulous idea to create online workshops that teach Social Media to Stay at Home Moms! but I worked too hard and got sick...and I put it on the back burner. That was a year ago. I'm a single mom who was homeschooling and dealing with all sorts of issues and just put in too many hours to be healthy. But I haven't given up. I'm healthy and things are coming together. Winter is over!!! Almost! and spring is on it's way and it's a whole new ballgame :)
So I am pulling that idea out again and I have a new plan and I'm going to plough ahead!!
First things first! BRANDING! This has been the big stalling point! Choosing the colours and the logo has been hard. I am still fiddling with it, but it's coming along nicely. As I tweek things I will keep you all up to date of my latest endevours. In just the last two days I have accomplished alot
My two blogs to watch will be Adventurez in Mexico and Zipolita'z Social Media- which I renamed
My plan is to finish my short film but I am going to break it down though into 30 minutes each and add extra footage and narration to make them more interesting and informative.
I'm going to give away free Wallpapers and E-cards for people who visit my site (see below)
On my Zipolita'z Social Media I plan on finishing all my videos and posting them for free and then letting everyone know I am available for Social Media Services.
I have other fabulous plans too but this is all I'm going to share at the moment. As it is it's quite industrious and I sure hope I conquer it. Time will tell. I appreciate you support. Thanks for dropping by.
And to say THANK YOU here is a lovely photo I took in Zipolite.
You may print it for PERSONAL USE ONLY. I hope you enjoy it.
With love from Zipolita aka Tina Winterlik

- So now you will see that this blog, Zipolita, links to all my other 8 blogs and they link back to here.
- All my blogs have a tab to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkedin, Google+(coming)Oops forgot, Faa-Fine Art America
- All blogs have the same Header text and mention Zipolita in some form
- My twitter background now matches my Zipolita blog colours/font

Awakening Signs From Free Your Mind 4evr

This is from Youtube Channel FREE YOU MIND 4EVR freeyourmind4evr
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKoQ3lNlRFA&NR=1
More Awakening Signs include:
-A feeling that something has changed within you
You simply feel different, you may not look any different but you know something has changed internally. Your old ways are falling by the wayside and the real you is starting to emerge.
-An increase in occurrences of coincidence
Better known as synchronicity, favourable people and beneficial circumstance start to appear with exactly what you need. Answers to questions are revealed to you through signs and messages. Synchronicity is a sign you are on the right track and that you are aware of these miracles happening around you. The more you notice and take heed, the more they appear so show appreciation for the guidance you are receiving.
-Quicker manifestations
Spiritual awakening raises your vibration; this involves a release of blockages which allows abundance to flow to you. Being in alignment with a higher vibration results in quicker and more beneficial manifestations to be received by you. Be aware of your thoughts so you get what you really want or better.
-Paying more attention to the details of daily life
-A desire to enroll in a classroom of "higher" learning
-Seeking new friends and groups who are interested in the Integrated life of the spirit (meaning balance in mind-body-spirit)
-Going to new places and moving outside of your comfort zone
