Bragging about your relationship on social media should be done with caution.
There’s nothing better than being in love, and if you feel strongly about your partner, you certainly want to share those feelings with the world…..right? Before you click “post,” however, reconsider what you’re putting out there.
Some posts might seem harmless while putting your relationship in jeopardy.
Check out these 6 Things About Your Relationship You Shouldn’t Put On Social Media;
Don’t post what happens between the sheets
First of all, it is gross. Second of all, it doesn’t speak well of you and your partner might not like it…….so keep all that information to yourself.
Don’t post personal details about your partner
You might think it’s cute that your girlfriend sleeps with Puppy or cat around her, but she probably doesn’t want her coworkers to get that little glimpse into her intimate life, though. Besides, aren’t those details sweeter when they’re just between the two of you?

Established fashion designer Veekee James recently shared some valuable wisdom with aspiring designers. In an Instagram post uploaded on May 14, 2024, she focused on the importance of brand protection. Veekee James offered key steps that up-and-coming designers can take to safeguard their creations and build a thriving fashion brand.
She wrote,
“I don’t know anything about the issue going around on social media so I can’t really speak on it! Here’s my advise as someone who has been there done that.”
In her advice to aspiring designers, Veekee James emphasised the importance of setting clear boundaries with clients, particularly regarding payment and social media recognition.
She cautioned designers against situations where a client offers social media recognition (tagging the designer on a post) instead of proper payment for their work. This puts the designer in a difficult position, forcing them to choose between financial security and potential brand exposure.
She suggests designers establish clear terms upfront with clients.
“Once anyone comes to you with the ‘Do you want money or tag’ phrase, You better run! I’ve had so many of your faves, both in this country and abroad, use that phrase with me and that was it! Today some of these people will give anything to be in my piece! No cap. It just shows no respect or regard for your brand! Once you allow that, it confirms the fact that your brand has no value whatsoever!” she warned.
In her talk, the designer stressed the importance of clearly communicating a brand’s values to celebrity clientele.
“Be wise! Don’t let money come first before the important things! Sacrifice in business is a must! As long as you have made glaring the values of your brand, be ready to collaborate sometimes only with celebs who respect you as well! Never forget that it’s a win-win for you and the celeb! No one is doing you a favour!”

She stressed the importance of both staying true to your beliefs and not relying solely on celebrity clients for publicity.
“Don’t be desperate to be known through a person! You must know that only God is the LIFTER of Men! He will use only the people He chooses to lift you! Don’t try to do what only God can do for your brand! Don’t expect publicity from every celebrity and make desperate decisions without thinking!” she said.
The celebrity designer added,
“If you want to be a fashion designer, go and research the true meaning of being a designer! So that you don’t end up being a tailor parading him or herself as a designer! If you are a designer, do the work of a designer!”
