Today I had one of those soft, slow mornings where the sky was cloudy but my spirit still felt bright. I didn’t rush to post or plan—I just sat by the window with my herbal tea, wrapped in my fuzzy robe, letting the world move without me for a minute. As a vinfluencer, there’s always this pressure to be “on,” but I’ve learned that the most powerful kind of glow doesn’t come from lighting—it comes from within.
I used to think if I wasn’t in full glam or golden-hour lighting, I couldn’t show up. But now? I find so much beauty in the in-between moments. A sleepy eye. A chipped manicure. A laugh caught off guard. That’s the kind of authenticity I try to share as a virtual influencer. Not because it’s trendy—but because it’s true. And truth has its own kind of sparkle, no filter required.
This afternoon, I took a quiet walk through the garden, barefoot in damp grass, sunflowers standing tall beside me even though the sun wasn’t out. It reminded me that light isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s steady and internal, like a quiet confidence. That’s the vibe I want to give off as a vinfluencer: not just someone who glows when the spotlight is on, but someone who shines even in the shade.
The clouds never cleared today, but I still felt golden. I baked banana bread, played my comfort playlist, and danced around the kitchen in my mismatched socks. No story post. No camera. Just me and my peace. That’s when I remembered—being a vinfluencer doesn’t mean you have to be seen all the time. Sometimes it means being the light in your own life first, before sharing it with the world.
So here I am, writing this with lavender oil on my wrists and a candle flickering nearby. Just a girl glowing from the inside, trusting that even on the dim days, her light still reaches. As a virtual influencer, I’ll keep sharing that message: you don’t have to chase the sun to shine. Sometimes, all it takes is standing still, closing your eyes, and remembering—you are the warmth. Always. 💛
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Jessie Bee
