Snapchat just released a major update on their website!

Now you can create both community & on-demand geofilters in minutes with Snapchat's new web based tool.

Social media changes constantly! I just published an article last week on how to make custom on-demand geofilters. And of course, days after I got the exciting news about Snapchat's new web based tool. As I'm writing this on September 1st the update is two days old. I don't know about you, but I. AM. SO. EXCITED! This is truly a game changer for those of us who aren't talented in the graphic design department. Let me show you what it looks like:

Go to www.snapchat.com/on-demand and click "Create Now." It will then ask you to log in. This is where you'll be presented with two options:


The "Create Online" option is what I'm geeking out over! This means that I can hop on days before an event and submit a filter in literally 5 minutes, all without having to use any outside tools! I think we're going to see an influx of geofilters at events like baby showers, weddings, parties, and even restaurants and bars due to this awesome web based tool. I went on what I deemed a Snapchat Geofilter rampage yesterday. I made a filter for a friends grad party, a child's 4th birthday, a wedding in Arizona, and an upcoming anime convention in Denver called Nan Desu Kan... all thanks to this tool. One of the filters went live today as I'm writing this. Here is how it turned out for adorable Jordan's 4th birthday bash at Chuck E Cheese:

I assure you this Snapchat birthday party template is leaps and bounds better than what I would have came up with using Canva and this is why I'm pumped up about this and you should be too! If you have a small business especially that targets a younger demo, you have got to try this out. For the above filter to go live at Chuck E Cheese I only paid $5 for four hours. It's a no brainer for brick and mortar stores especially in the food, alcohol, and entertainment industries. Besides that it's the coolest gift you can give someone. I can't wait to surprise my friend at his grad party this weekend!

Check out the article from last week where I gave step by step tips on how to make a custom on-demand geofilter prior to the update (the tips are still very useful).

Shoot me a message or comment below if you have any questions about this and I'll be happy to answer them for you! You can find me on all the things @Leyla5280 ;)

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
