#HelloTherePeople!

#TGIF! #Longweek. #LookingForwardToTheWeekend! 😎


Are you guys wondering if we have been bitten by the #hashtag bug? 😁 Well, nooooooo...It's just that it's #World Social Media Day today! 📢


Did you know that we spend on average 144 minutes on social media per day? 🤯


That's a loooooottttt of time scrolling and scrolling endlessly through the news, memes, photos and games.. speaking of games, this week, we're having a treasure hunt 😎 Not the kind that will require you to go outdoors (because hey let's face it, we're freezing at the moment 🥶🥶🥶).


Your mission this week is to find a word related to the Social Media world. To help you, we have hidden cues throughout the various sections in this Gazette. So, are you ready? #Find the cues. #Piece them together. #Guess the app 😎
