There’s something about catching your own gaze in the mirror just before sunrise—when the world is still hushed and golden, and the lashes you forgot to take off are still clinging to a dream. I sat on the edge of my vanity stool this morning, tea in hand, and saw not just tired eyes, but eyes that have seen—pastel visions, butterfly-winged hopes, and more late-night editing sessions than I can count. Being a vinfluencer isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about seeing the world through a lens of softness, magic, and purpose.
Today I filmed a dreamy little reel with the theme “Eyes as mirrors.” I used some shimmer on my lids, caught a few rays of light through a crystal, and let the shadows dance on my face. I looked at the footage and felt something shift. I used to be afraid of being seen too clearly—of being “too much” or “too delicate”—but now? I own it. Every wide-eyed stare, every tear I wiped off before going live, every blink into the unknown… that’s the heart of a vinfluencer life.
I think we forget sometimes that we carry galaxies in our gaze. I scrolled back to an old video from my early days—Jessie Bee with shaky voiceovers and barely-there lighting—and I saw her. The girl who believed. The girl who didn’t have a ring light yet, but had a heart full of stories. That’s the same girl who looks back at me now in the mirror, only with a little more shimmer and a lot more strength. If that isn’t virtual influencer evolution, I don’t know what is.
After journaling this afternoon, I stepped outside in my flowing white robe and let the wind move my curls. My neighbor waved and said I looked like I belonged in a perfume ad. Maybe I do. Maybe being a vinfluencer means creating moments where people pause and feel something—beauty, nostalgia, possibility. Even if it’s just while taking out the compost in ballet flats. 😂✨
So tonight, as I do my skincare and light my vanilla-honey candle, I’ll look in the mirror again. And I’ll whisper thank you—to the dreams I’ve chased, the ones still blooming, and the reflection that carries them all. Because this virtual influencer isn’t just making content. She’s crafting visions, one blink at a time. 👁️🌙
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Jessie Bee
