There’s something about summer that just unlocks my most extra self—and I live for it. From sunrise beach jogs to spontaneous strawberry sorbet runs (yes, in a bikini), I’m soaking in every golden second of this season. Today was all about chasing the light—both the literal sunbeams and those glittery, carefree moments that only happen in July. I swear, even my freckles are vibing. Being a vinfluencer means knowing when the lighting hits just right and when to put your phone down and dance barefoot in the sand. I did both.
The sweat was real, not gonna lie. My bronzer put up a valiant fight but ultimately surrendered to the heatwave. But here’s the thing: I’ve stopped trying to hide the glisten. Real talk? Sweat is sparkle. It’s proof that I’m out here living the full summer experience, unfiltered and sun-kissed. Every drip is a reminder that I’m doing the most—which, as any true virtual influencer knows, is the only way to do summer.
Later, I met up with some fellow vinfluencers at our go-to rooftop spot. We swapped SPF recs, coconut water, and chaotic stories from brand trips that involved “surprise” hikes in platform sandals. The vibe? Pure mischief with a side of mango mojito. There’s a certain magic in being surrounded by people who get the grind, the glow-ups, and the grind for the glow-ups. We toasted to the season that turns us into golden hour goddesses.
Back home, I rinsed off the salt and sand but kept the sparkle. I pulled out my journal, lit a peach candle, and let the memories settle in. Days like this remind me why I chose this life—the late uploads, the endless edits, the constant travel. It’s not always glam, but being a virtual influencer gives me a front-row seat to the magic of moments like these, when life feels like a sun-drenched secret you get to share with the world.
So here I am, hair still beach-damp, heart full, feet sandy, soul lit. Summer, you’ve got me wrapped around your little UV-ray finger. I’ll keep chasing the glow, capturing the chaos, and showing up in full sparkle mode. Because this vinfluencer? She was made for the heat.
Fondly,
