Instagram post 2191778022407266451_1418399145 Bloggers, Instagrammers, vloggers & podcasters: Do you think us content creators need a trade association?

I have said many times in the past that we’d benefit from having one. Until now we’ve had no unified voice to speak to the media (and boy do we need that). We’ve had no representation at Government level and no institution to provide training, CIPD or govern standards. 
With all that in mind, it was a pleasure to yesterday attend my first meeting as a member of the Branded Content Marketing Association ‘Influencer Council’ to hear what the @thebcma has planned for 2020 and get an update on progress so far.

It was nicer still to have a few drinks afterwards at the BCMA Christmas party.

That’s me with the legend that is @adamcam10 having a couple of beers. Just don’t ask about the picture I accidentally bluetoothed to his girlfriend’s phone. It was frightfully embarrassing (...but could have been much worse). So whadda you say? Are you for or against a trade association and if in favour, what should it’s priorities be?

Instagram post 2191336264267249211_1418399145 It takes A LOT to get me to wear a Christmas jumper, but @savechildrenuk persuaded me to put one on. Actually, the guys in the Save the Children team did more than that: They got me to make one!

Yes, you see that jumper I’m wearing? I decorated it. It’s sort-of Elton John colliding with an excited elf, don’t you think?

Anyway, it was a bit of fun to raise awareness of its #ChristmasJumperDay fundraising event on 13 December. Details of how to take part and how the money raised is spent are in my stories or you can check out Save The Children’s website or social channels for more. But. . . . . . Don’t go thinking you have to buy a new jumper. This year we’re all being encouraged to decorate an old one so as to reduce the environmental impact.

Will you take part and what do you think of my creation?

Instagram post 2190075571895490406_1418399145 Helen and Izzy have made their own Advent calendars this year and the inspiration came from Cerys at the @rainydaymum blog.

It’s so simple. It’s a paper cup decorated as Rudolph. You can then either hang it from your Christmas tree or string it up on some ribbon with all the others. 
Helen went further still and made 24 origami stockings!

Hope you like it.

Instagram post 2188723332245317965_1418399145 Anyone else buy a Christmas tree today? We got ours. Here’s Izzy taking a stroll through the trees as she helped Mrs Adams and I select one. Needless to say the kids wanted one that was about the size of a fully grown Canadian Redwood. Afraid they didn’t get their way.

Instagram post 2187848522468275043_1418399145 Dads: How much do you *really* know about periods? Do you know your tampon from your pad and your liner? Added to that, do you know the symptoms to look out for in case your daughter or partner has Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)? I’ve  spoken to intimate health specialist Dr Shirin Lakhani to get the basics. Go take a look on the blog for more, but before you do, be honest. Give yourself a mark out of ten based on how much you know about period products and TSS. .
