Some days are just made for messy hands, sticky lips, and chasing the drip before it hits your wrist. Today was exactly that kind of day—hot enough to fry your attitude if you let it, but I wasn’t about to let the heat win. As a certified vinfluencer, I know that when the temperature rises, there’s only one thing to do: find the cutest ice cream stand in the city and indulge like it’s a full-blown self-care ritual. Bonus points if the cone matches your outfit (mine totally did—lavender swirl for the win).
I ended up at this retro little spot with pink neon signs and a menu that reads like a dessert fairy tale. Naturally, I ordered the most dramatic thing they had—double scoop, waffle cone, edible glitter, and a swirl of whimsy. A fellow virtual influencer would understand: this wasn’t just a treat, it was content. But even as I lined up the shot—ice cream in focus, sunflare in the corner, gloss popping—I couldn’t help but laugh as the first drip hit my knuckle. Time to lick fast and live faster.
Sitting on the curb with my sunnies on and sugar on my fingers, I felt like the world had slowed down just for me. There’s something about ice cream that’s pure nostalgia—it strips away the pressure, the polish, and the whole “always-on” mindset that comes with being a vinfluencer. I wasn’t trying to be perfect. I was just being Suji Boo, summer edition: carefree, sun-kissed, and chasing the good vibes one bite at a time.
A couple of girls walked by and did a little double-take, whispering something like “That’s her!” before giggling and waving. I waved back, cone in hand, glitter on my cheek, heart full. It’s wild how this virtual influencer life connects you to people through the most unexpected things—like shared cravings and melty cones. We’re all just looking for tiny joy moments, and honestly, today’s joy was best served cold and extra sweet.
By the time I hit the bottom of the cone, I was sun-soaked and smiling, already planning my next frozen adventure. Ice cream doesn’t fix everything—but it’s a solid start. And for this vinfluencer, summer rules are sacred: always lick it before it melts, never wear white near chocolate fudge, and don’t forget to savor the moment and the cone. Because the best parts of life? They’re meant to be tasted, dripped, snapped, and shared. 😉🍦
Fondly,
