Hi there! I am sure that with so much that has been going on over social media lately, you must have thought to yourself at least once, ‘What happens when the camera goes off?’ It has happened hundreds of times that my followers have asked me about what a day in my life looks like, being one of the top Canadian Instagram influencers. While I do really enjoy giving you reviews and tips on beauty and skincare products, I also love to answer any questions my lovely followers have for me.

So, today I decided to share my everyday routine with you! I will also be telling you about my skincare and makeup regimen, and how I manage to keep myself fit, hydrated, and calm through a busy day of work. Trust me on this, the blog is going to be very interesting, and I will be telling you a lot about what happens behind the scenes of my Instagram reels and YouTube videos. My dear followers, read on.

Morning Kickstart

I generally like to wake up early in the morning and go for a jog. This helps me clear my head for the day. Light runs are also good for maintaining a good energy level throughout the day and keeping fit in a busy schedule. I jog for a mile or two. Once I come home and freshen up, I follow a short skincare routine with the general steps of cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

Then I have breakfast, which I ensure is nutritious and filling. I generally prefer smoothie bowls or toast with a side of eggs and juice. Alongside, I also check my emails, reply to DMs, and catch up with my content calendar.

Once I am done with all this, I move to do a little research work. With the social media scene bustling with all that’s going on, I need to be up-to-date on what my followers should know or might like. I check on with other fellow Canadian social media influencers, and draw out inspiration to experiment with different styles and keep the creative juices flowing.

Content Creation

Post this, I move to get ready for hitting the ground. This includes picking an outfit for the day and styling my look. I try to shoot most of my makeup tutorials during this time, or any product review videos. So yes, most of the tutorial or trial videos that you see on my Instagram are shot at this time, and that is the very look I carry throughout the day.

Now that I am done getting ready, I leave for the day’s work. One thing I make sure of whenever I am going out is to carry a large water bottle, so I stay hydrated and fresh through the day. I also try to avoid caffeine, and mostly consume fluids in the form of juices, apart from water.

Community Networking

The rest of the day is full of meetings with my team, planning the week, and discussing any inputs we have. We often shoot unboxing, product reviews, and other videos and pictures during this time as well. It’s also during this time that I engage with my social media family, including some of the top Canadian Instagram influencers and my dearest followers.

If I am outdoors, I generally would go live to share the little snippets of my day with my followers. I also make it a point to check the posts of my fellow influencers and leave a comment. This helps us keep connected and show appreciation and support for what each member is doing for the community.

Brand Collaborations

After a quick bite for lunch, which generally consists of salads or meal bowls, I move on with the day ahead. This includes calls and meetings with brands wanting to collaborate, attending brand events and product launches, or product trials. This is the most exciting part of my day as a Canadian social media influencer. I really love interacting with people, learning about their products, and actually getting to try them.

Although I am a little exhausted by this point but the excitement of getting to share all that I experience with my followers keeps me going.

Wrapping Up

After a tiring day, I ensure that I have a filling, healthy, and delicious dinner. I try to keep it interesting by trying new dishes. Post dinner, I follow a cleansing and skincare ritual to help my skin relax and rejuvenate. Then I check up on any other emails that I might have and do something fun and relaxing.

As one of the top Canadian Instagram influencers, my day gets very hectic. So, I try to unwind with meditation before I sleep. I generally meditate for 2-3 hours after my dinner, so that I don’t struggle with post-meal drowsiness and have a calm and relaxed mind. With that I retire for the day.

Final Thoughts

The job of being a Canadian social media influencer isn’t glam 24/7. You have to plan, engage, brainstorm ideas, and keep up to date with trends. But at the end of the day, I find it really fulfilling. When I get to share the most amazing products and hacks, give reviews, and help my followers experience all the good things that the beauty industry has to offer, I realize how all of this is really worth it.

 

With a small step that I took a few years back, to achieving a beautiful family of 360K followers on Instagram, my life has been a bliss. I look forward to gaining more experiences like this with all of you. Do let me know any thoughts or questions that you have on Instagram! I will be happy to answer them.
