Something that might not be so obvious is that I struggle with social anxiety. My vlogs might make me seem like a pretty outgoing person, and to some extent, I would say I am. However, I still experience anxiety when I’m out in public, especially when I’m alone or recording a video. I actually started vlogging as a way to help manage that anxiety, gradually build my confidence, and become more comfortable with putting myself out there.
My days are usually pretty long. Aside from being a student creator, I’m also an athlete, so finding a balance between everything can sometimes be challenging. A typical day usually starts with morning training, followed by schoolwork or editing videos, and then classes. I usually leave the evenings to catch up on any unfinished work, although more often than not, I try to use that time to wind down and relax.
Since most of my videos follow a “day in the life” format, I don’t necessarily have to set aside a separate time to film. I can simply document parts of my everyday routine as they happen, which makes creating content a little easier to fit into my schedule.
My personal mantra is, go with the flow because everything happens for a reason.
My style is relatively simple, although I do like switching things up from time to time. Given the hot and humid climate, I usually gravitate toward comfortable and lightweight pieces. Most days, you’ll find me in a pair of baggy pants and a T-shirt. If I’m going for something a little more dressed up, I’ll opt for a Henley shirt or a polo paired with sneakers.
After receiving the sandals from havaianas, I’ve also found a way to bring together the casual and slightly more dressed-up sides of my style. Their sleek design makes them versatile enough to complement both looks!
The first things that come to mind when I hear havaianas are sleek, simple, and, oddly enough, family. My family, especially my mom and aunt, have been longtime havaianas wearers. I remember them wearing the brand ever since I was a kid, and they still own quite a number of pairs today. Because of that, I’ve always associated havaianas with them. It’s one of those brands that has been a familiar part of my life for as long as I can remember.
