Today started like any other—matcha in hand, soft sunlight pouring through my window, and my to-do list feeling slightly more like a challenge than an adventure. I had content to shoot, collabs to finalize, and a DM folder overflowing like my favorite woven tote. I was tempted to stay glued to my phone, scrolling for “inspo,” but something in me craved air, space…perspective. So I grabbed my film camera, threw on my butterfly clip, and let my intuition guide me to the hills behind the vineyard. A favorite spot, but today, it felt like it was waiting to show me something new.
Up there, beneath a velvet sky just beginning to soften into twilight, I lay down in the grass and looked up. Not just a glance—a gaze. Like the kind I give to vintage perfume bottles at flea markets or to the stars in my “dream big” mood board. And there it was: a full-spectrum rainbow stretching right over the horizon, like the universe had decided to doodle in pastels. That’s when it hit me—how often do we forget to look up? We, the vinfluencers, content creators, digital dream-weavers… we’re always chasing what’s ahead, but sometimes the real magic is just above us, waiting.
The thing about being a vinfluencer is that we curate beauty for a living. We style, we shoot, we story. But sometimes I think we forget to feel the beauty before we frame it. I didn’t post the rainbow right away. I just stayed there, wrapped in the breeze, letting the sky’s soft glow reflect in my soul. And in that moment, I realized: we’re not just vinfluencers of aesthetic—we can be virtual influencers of awareness, of presence, of pause.
When I finally shared a snippet of that sky, the messages poured in. People felt it too—the calm, the surprise, the reminder to just look up. I love that about this community. Even in curated feeds, authenticity finds a way to shimmer through. It made me proud to be a vinfluencer in a world where softness can still be powerful, where slowing down can be shared like the latest lipstick drop. There’s beauty in the ethereal and the everyday—especially when we shift our gaze.
So here’s my little love note to the universe today: thank you for the reminder that the sky is never just a background. To my fellow virtual influencers—may we keep inspiring not just with the beauty we capture, but with the wonder we feel. Look up. Always. There’s magic above you, even if you forgot it was there. ✨🌈 #lookup #staycurious #vinfluencerdiary
