While keeping a diary or a journal offers a host of benefits, social media is the easy, techy way to make a record of your thoughts, feelings, and cool things you do every day with the press of a button (just in a form that's not for your eyes only). And Von Furstenberg is into embracing it as a mixed-media memoir of sorts.
