For those meeting you for the first time, how would you describe yourself and your content in three words?
Authentic, glam, and evolving.

What originally inspired you to start creating content?
I started creating content because I’ve always loved beauty and storytelling. At first, it was just me filming in my room, but once I realized my experiences, routines, and glow-up journey were helping other girls feel confident, it turned into something way bigger than me.

What’s one thing your audience might be surprised to learn about you?
People see the glam, but I’m actually very routine-driven and disciplined behind the scenes. My life runs on schedules, content planning, and business building.

How would you describe your personal style on vacation versus at home?
On vacation, I’m very elevated — bronzed, effortless glam. Flowy fits, statement looks, full hair and makeup. At home, I’m more cozy but still put together: matching sets, slick hair, minimal makeup, but still that clean-girl energy.

What does having your very own magazine feature mean to you as a creator?
It honestly feels surreal. I started posting with no expectations, so seeing myself in a magazine is one of those full-circle moments that reminds me how far I’ve come.

What were your first impressions of Puerto Vallarta?
The views immediately got me — the mountains, the ocean. It felt peaceful but also inspiring at the same time.

What moment from the trip made you stop and think, wow, this is special?
Definitely the last sunset dinner with Skechers overlooking the water. Everyone was dressed up and just enjoying the moment. It felt unreal.

Favorite look, outfit, or glam moment from the getaway?
My bronzed orange dress on the last night — definitely!

Which part of the experience made the best content for you and why?
The beach shoots. Natural lighting, ocean backdrops, and the mountains — it was an extremely gorgeous view that pushed me to become even more creative.

How did this trip inspire you creatively?
Being away on vacation always inspires me creatively. Stepping away from the usual hectic everyday life and getting to relax and enjoy the scenery makes such a difference.

What was your favorite brand or partnership moment during the trip?
Definitely Pixi Beauty. I love all of their products and their color scheme.

How did being surrounded by other creators impact your experience?
It was very motivating. Seeing everyone’s work ethic, filming styles, and creativity made me want to level up even more.

What is something you learned about content, travel, or yourself on this trip?
I learned that balance is everything. You can create amazing content and still be present — it just takes intention.

How do you balance staying present while still capturing content on a getaway like this?
I like to batch content. I’ll film during glam or scheduled shoots, then put my phone down and actually enjoy the experience afterward.

What is your go-to tip for creators who want to elevate their content while traveling?
Plan your looks ahead of time and study lighting. Golden hour and outfit coordination make all the difference.

If you had to describe this Puerto Vallarta experience in one sentence, what would it be?
A dreamy mix of luxury, creativity, and unforgettable memories.

What was your most unforgettable meal, view, or location from the trip?
I ate steak every night — lol — but definitely the last night with our own personal BBQ-style dinner.

How does this experience compare to other influencer trips you’ve been on?
This one felt very intimate and aesthetically curated. It was actually my first influencer trip.

What’s next for you — any exciting projects, goals, or destinations coming up?
I’m focused on expanding my brand, growing my YouTube, and working on new beauty and lifestyle projects. Definitely more travel and brand collaborations coming soon.

What was your favorite part about the Velas Vallarta resort?
The hospitality and the scenery. Everything felt luxurious but still warm and welcoming — the perfect environment to create and unwind.
