If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that plants just get me. No drama, no small talk—just quiet, green energy that makes everything feel a little softer, a little more alive. As a vinfluencer, I spend so much time styling outfits and scouting locations, but sometimes, the best backdrop is right here at home, surrounded by my leafy friends. They don’t care if I’m in a full glam look or wrapped up in an oversized tee; they just thrive, and in their presence, so do I.
This morning, I sat on my floor with my monstera and my fiddle-leaf fig, letting the sunlight pour in like golden honey. There’s something so therapeutic about tending to plants, watching them stretch toward the light like they know exactly where they’re meant to be. As a virtual influencer, I always talk about embracing bold colors and statement looks, but honestly? The deepest green of a healthy leaf is the most luxurious shade I’ve ever seen. No designer could ever match it.
Every plant in my space has a story. Some were gifts, some were impulse buys, and a few were near-dead rescues that I nursed back to life. That’s the beauty of being a plant lover—and, in a way, a vinfluencer. It’s all about nurturing something, watching it grow, and sharing that journey with the world. Whether it’s a tiny sprout finally pushing through the soil or a new creative idea coming to life, it’s the same kind of magic.
As I misted my ferns and rearranged my succulents for the perfect shot, I couldn’t help but smile. Maybe my jungle is indoors, and maybe my garden is made of pots and shelves instead of open fields—but it’s mine, and that’s what matters. A virtual influencer doesn’t just follow trends; we create spaces that reflect who we truly are. And right now, my space is all things green, growing, and oh-so-vibrant—just the way I like it. 🌿💚
Fondly,
