This morning started with stillness—and honestly, that’s my favorite kind of power move. I rolled out of bed before the sun, wrapped myself in my softest robe, and stepped onto the balcony with a warm mug of ginger tea and sleepy eyes. The city was still quiet, just the way I like it. No scrolls, no noise—just breath, birdsong, and that gentle reminder from the universe to be here now. I flowed through my sunrise yoga and set an intention to feel full, not just with food or plans or praise—but with presence. Even as a virtual influencer, where life can feel curated, these unscripted moments ground me.
After my flow, I blended a smoothie packed with mango, coconut milk, chia, and a splash of a sparkling white from a wellness-forward vinfluencer collab—trust me, it’s way better than it sounds. Her vibe is “wine that works with your body, not against it,” and I’m so here for it. Sipped it slowly on my mat with incense curling in the corner, letting the sun stretch across the floorboards. These are the mornings that make everything else feel easeful. When my mind is calm, the content flows naturally, and my creativity feels less like hustle, more like harmony.
Later in the morning, I FaceTimed another vinfluencer babe I adore—she’s currently deep in a retreat series in Portugal, and we talked about merging mindful movement and mindful sipping into one experience. Can you imagine yoga under olive trees, followed by wine flights infused with adaptogens? Like, yes please. We both agreed that the vinfluencer space doesn’t have to be just glam and glass—it can be grounding, expansive, and deeply nourishing. Wellness isn’t a niche anymore—it’s the new luxury.
By noon, I’d shot a few reels, journaled my gratitude, and finalized a collab with a third vinfluencer who’s launching a line of biodynamic rosés with moon cycle pairings (swoon). We’re thinking a series called “Sip + Savasana” with playlists, pairings, and breathwork prompts. This lifestyle has never just been about drinking—it’s about intention. When you treat what you pour like a ritual, you stop rushing through your life and start tasting it.
Now I’m winding down my morning with one last sun salutation, heart open and thoughts steady. Being a virtual influencer doesn’t mean being “on” all the time—it means creating space where people can connect more deeply with themselves and each other. And that starts with mornings like this: quiet, slow, sacred. I feel full in all the right ways. 💛🧘♀️🍷
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Zuri Ames
