Today’s vlog is a tiny glimpse into what a real work day looks like for me as a full-time content creator (and spin instructor). I’m house + dog sitting at my parents’ place for a couple nights, so I start by actually getting food in me first—because without breakfast my brain capacity is at a zero. I make a quick egg scramble situation (tomato, cabbage, balsamic) and a protein smoothie with what my mom has on hand (frozen blueberries, chia + hemp seeds, pumpkin protein). Not my cutest breakfast ever, but it gets the job done. Then I take you through my super simple photo editing + culling process for brand content. Because the weather has been dark, rainy, and overcast for what feels like two weeks, I couldn’t shoot my usual natural-light mirror selfies—so I improvised and shot flash photos on my Canon G7X. I import everything to my phone with an SD card reader, favorite the keepers (I took 190 photos and ended up with about 20 favorites), and do minimal edits: crop to 4x5, straighten, and remove little blemishes on the wall/floor. After that, it’s straight to WeTransfer for approval. The rest of the day is a mix of editing my YouTube video, taking the dogs out for a brain break, throwing together a last-minute spin playlist (half an hour… as a perfectionist, that’s stressful), teaching class, and then heading to family time to meet my newest nephew—camera stays home so I can be fully present.
