Trying to settle down in New York has not been easy! The clock is ticking as I try to find my next accommodation and the stress levels are rising so I decided to take the weekend off, de-stress and practice some good ol' self care and that to me means doing relaxing fun activities like doing my makeup, going thrifting, reading at the park, watching Girls, decluttering my closet and hanging out with friends.

I've been in New York for more than a month now and as much as I've loved it here one thing I haven't been able to sort out is eating a healthy and affordable diet in one of the world's most expensive and unhealthy cities. Whole foods cost a fortune, almost anything processed contains sugar (and sometimes even ingredients that are banned in Europe) and EVERYTHING is wrapped in plastic. Eating low waste is out of the question for the moment but creating a healthy and balanced meal plan in New York has been a challenge! In today's vlog I attempt to do just that, I try making meals at home, go grocery shopping and looking for affordable supermarkets, balancing work and health and I go down a research rabbit hole on the US food ingredients and additives that are banned in Europe and discover some in my own pantry.

I booked a one way ticket to New York and it's time to pick myself off the floor, unpack my suitcase, meet people and get inspired in one of the world's most impressive cities. Figuring out how to start life from zero in NYC while trying to have fun in the process. Journaling, going to bookstores, experimenting with thrifted outfits, going to see the Barbie movie and sharing my thoughts about it all in today's vlog.

In the most shocking turn of events (sarcasm) influencers sell out and lie to their audience.
A group of influencers is under fire for promoting Shein, the Chinese fast-fashion giant infamous for labor abuses and environmental damage, as an ethical brand. In sponsored posts and videos, influencers showcased their Shein-sponsored brand trip to Shein's innovation center. However, previous investigations have exposed Shein's exploitative practices, including low wages, long hours, and labor law violations. Despite controversies surrounding toxic chemicals, design plagiarism, data mishandling, and sustainability concerns, Shein's popularity among Gen-Z remains unmatched. Discover the latest controversy surrounding Shein and the ethical questions it raises in this eye-opening video.

Reacting to the first three episodes of Sam Levinson (Euphoria) and the Weeknd's series The Idol starring Lily Rose Depp and discussing the objectification of the main character Jocelyn, from her dialogue, the portrayal of her character through the lens of the male gaze and her being written more as a male fantasy than an actual person. Sharing my hot takes on the show and the reasons why, contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed the third episode. The Idol also features Jennie Kim from Blackpink as the character of Dyanne, Troye Silvan as Xander, the Weeknd as Tedros and Rachel Sennott as Leia. Also comparing The Idol to Mike White's HBO series The White Lotus and the gratuitous objectification to Quentin Tarantino's films.

In a wold that has reached peak negativity and doomerism I explore the brighter side of our civilization, look into art and culture during the renaissance era and draw parallels on how we might be at the beginning of a new renaissance, perhaps an even better more fair and inclusive one in a video that will remind you that perhaps things might not be as bad as we've all made it out to be.

What do disco pants, Jeffrey Campbell heels, yolo, Lana Del Rey and Skins UK have in common? They were all part of the 2009-2013 era of indie sleaze. A melancholic, blase, party culture born out of the great recession. Today, I rewind back to my experience during that era and delve deeper into how global disasters affect culture and why indie sleaze is coming back now.

"That girl" is an online trope used to describe the women that follow a specific regimen aimed at maintaining their hot and youthful image. "That girl" has recently received a lot of critique online for her habits, image, diet and routines, but is perhaps the critique of "That girl" far more insidious than her lifestyle is?
