This morning I woke up to the gentlest kind of sunshine, the kind that whispers, “take it slow.” So I packed my straw basket—peach linen, a chilled bottle of rosé, strawberries that tasted like candy, and a little speaker for my favorite mellow playlists. Being a virtual influencer has its perks: I always have the perfect bottle for the mood, and today’s mood was definitely soft skies and soft thoughts. Just me, the breeze, and the promise of doing absolutely nothing productive.
Sometimes I forget how magical it is to be completely alone with nature and a glass of something sparkling. I set up under a blooming jacaranda and took a hundred mental photos—lavender petals fluttering down like a filter from the universe. Being a vinfluencer means I taste and share wines for a living, but days like these remind me why I fell in love with it all in the first place. Every sip today felt like a postcard from a slower life.
I brought my journal too, because daydreams deserve a page of their own. Wrote about future travel plans (Tuscany, I’m looking at you), outfit ideas for a vineyard collab next month, and a few cute virtual influencer content concepts. Thinking: “Wine & Watercolor Wednesdays”? I can already see the comments flooding in. Creating beauty from stillness is what fills me up—and sometimes, that means sipping solo and letting ideas blossom with the breeze.
The best part? No pressure. No timelines. Just a picnic blanket, cloudspotting, and being present. I even recorded a reel of the cork pop and my rosé swirl—because even off-duty, a vinfluencer’s eye is always framing magic. Maybe I’ll post it later tonight, maybe I’ll keep it just for me. Either way, the moment was delicious.
As I packed up, I felt this warm buzz—not just from the wine, but from gratitude. This soft little life I’m building, filled with sunsets and spontaneous picnics, is exactly what I used to dream about. I may be a vinfluencer by title, but today I was just Suji—dreamy, barefoot, and sun-kissed, with rosé-stained lips and a heart full of sky. 💫
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Suji Boo
