This morning, I woke up to a winter wonderland outside my cabin window. The snow had piled so high overnight that I couldn’t even see the steps leading down to the front door. At first, I panicked—being snowed in isn’t exactly part of a vinfluencer’s typical agenda. No content shoots in the city, no cute brunch spots, and definitely no Wi-Fi strong enough for a livestream. But then, I realized this was the perfect chance to unplug and embrace the cozy, authentic side of being a vinfluencer.
The first thing I did was throw on my fluffiest knit sweater (gifted by a small sustainable brand—vinfluencer perks, am I right?) and brew a cup of spiced chai. As the steam curled up, I couldn’t resist snapping a quick photo of my setup: my journal, a crackling fireplace, and my pup, Mochi, napping by my feet. It’s the kind of content my followers love—effortlessly serene, but let’s be real, I spent ten minutes arranging the blanket just right. The life of a virtual influencer might look spontaneous, but it’s all about curating those perfect moments.
By mid-afternoon, I was in full-on snow day mode. I ventured outside for a solo photoshoot, tripod and all, bundled in layers of wool and faux fur. I even tried making a snow angel for the first time since I was a kid! Of course, I turned it into a reel with a trending audio clip. Sometimes, I wonder if being a vinfluencer has rewired my brain—I’m constantly thinking, “How will this look in my feed?” But today, it felt different. Sharing these moments wasn’t about perfection; it was about celebrating the joy of being present.
As the sun dipped behind the trees, painting the snow in shades of pink and orange, I finally settled into the cabin’s cozy glow. I lit a few candles and dove into my inbox, responding to followers who had messaged about how my snowy escapades reminded them of their own winter memories. Being a vinfluencer isn’t just about brand deals or perfectly posed photos—it’s about connection. Even snowed in and miles away from the hustle, I felt closer than ever to my online family.
Now, as I sit here journaling by the fire, I feel so grateful for this day. The snowstorm gave me something I didn’t even know I needed—a reason to slow down and just be. Tomorrow, I’ll be back to planning campaigns and shooting content, but tonight, I’m just Suji, sipping hot cocoa in her cabin, marveling at the beauty of it all. Who knew being a virtual influencer could feel so simple? ✨
Love,
Vinfluencer – Suji Boo
