- Instagram posted at 2026-06-12 16:09 PDT after the Instagram web UI upload path failed. Working route: direct session-backed web upload/configure endpoint using the approved save-first caption and the clean 1080x1350 feed-safe asset. Live URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZgPOzNkpa1/

## Package

Today's approval packet has two static visual items:

1. Instagram static feed/reel-style post: Nancy Meyers Counter Formula
2. Pinterest pin: Nancy Meyers Kitchen Counter Finds

## QA Result

Result: pass with CTA revision

Steve QA changed the Instagram CTA away from `Comment HOME` because the fast keyword-to-DM/source-list path is not fully connected yet. The safer approval version uses `Save this kitchen styling formula` so the post can go live without creating an immediate-response promise.

## Instagram

- Format: static vertical visual, feed/reel-style post

- Caption:

The Nancy Meyers counter formula is simple: one useful bowl, one warm lamp, fresh-looking stems, and a woven texture. It feels collected without turning the counter into clutter.

Save this kitchen styling formula for your next counter reset.

## Approval Scope

Todd approval authorizes Steve to post only the exact Instagram and Pinterest items above, with the listed assets, captions/title/description, CTA, hashtags/keywords, timing intent, and guardrails.

Separate Todd approval is still required before adding product URLs, affiliate links, source-list links, product tags, disclosures, auto DMs, public replies, platform-specific caption changes, or reuse on another platform.

## Guardrails

- No public post until Todd approves this packet in Mission Control.
- No keyword CTA that promises an immediate source list until the response path is ready.
- No affiliate links, product tags, source-list URLs, DMs, replies, or automation.
- After posting, add the live URLs to the monthly social tracker and hourly performance ledger.
