I think it is our responsibility to choose the people we look up to wisely. Someone once told me that your measure of greatness affects the way you live. We don't get to choose who the internet throws at us, but we get to choose who we spend our time on. Recent reflections made me unfollow and unsubscribe from so many people because it wasnt really beneficial for me anymore. I wanted substance and so many of the content on my subscription box didnt seem promising to give me anything. I had no more time to waste. Today Im giving you a glimpse of my computer screen. These women's platforms are the ones I go back every once in a while. I believe I am the way I am because of the way they are. Theyve inspired me in every way there is to inspire a person. I see bits of them in the woman I dream of becoming. 

Heyclaire 

Claire does things for herself and herself alone. Okay, maybe her cat Bruce too, but you get the point. She’s not blinded by followers/subscribers and always challenges herself to create better content. It’s always about quality over quantity. She’s one of the people I would always always always look up to. The independent, career oriented, go getter cat mom some people could only dream of becoming. I think once you learnt someone’s story, you get to understand them more and then you just have no choice but to fall in love with them. I have so much respect for the way she tells her story and the love & effort that goes through her content is just immense. I thought I couldnt love her more but 2016’s vlogmas proved me wrong. I don’t know. I just really love seeing genuine, sincere people.

Leonie Sii

Leonie is like a little baby that I want to protect at all costs. Once I read a comment on one of her post that says something like theyre reading someone else’s journal without their permission and I couldnt have agreed more. She puts her battles out there and it feels like having a sister who confides in you. Her honest words and the raw emotions they carry really touches me. I care for her as much as I do for my friends because she feels like one. Although we’ve never really exchanged words, let alone stories, I feel so close to her. And that’s the beauty of honesty, you never know who you inspire, who relates in you and who you provide solace for. She too has a deeep love for all things scandinavian and it’s so cute haha! And Leonie, how do I keep up with my Italian as you do with your Swedish? (Im talking about the language hahahahaha oops) HUHU thanks girl

Lavendaire 

I know human beings are mortals and we don’t have superpowers but girl, Aileen’s voice is so soothing I swear it’s magic. Aileen talks about going after your goals, organization and the konmari method, great habits, advice and she's doing a series called “The Artist of Life" wherin she interviews artists of different media.  Ive been trying to avoid watching youtube videos lately but I can never skip one of hers. I know it will be worthy of my time and more.

Sailorjennie 

Cant remember when or how I found Jennie’s blog but ever since I did, I kept coming back to it. There is something about her writing that makes me feel so at home but at the same time, a gatecrasher. It’s enchanting. She’s so honest in her words and there’s something in way she puts herself and her thoughts out there. Being vulnerable isnt as fearful, at least thats what shes made me realise. Her blog photos are mostly in black and white, but I barely noticed it because there's so much colour in her words.

Orion Carloto

Is it too early say that I'd die for this girl? Orion has been an inspiration to me for the longest time. I started following her on youtube and Im so grateful to have watched her become this lady killer that drives me to be better each day. She is anything but superficial. I would talk about her instagram feed, or her outfits, or her face, and dont get me wrong, I adore them but gee there are more things about her I want to address here. Orion is one of those people who makes me want to better myself everyday. To strive to know more. To feed myself with more knowledge and to grasp anything I can get a hold of. She makes me want to be a person of many layers. I think I could write a whole blog post about her to be honest haha! It’s just.. I love her, okay? I feel like a child who aspires to be like someone someday. I have to be constantly reminded that she’s only a few years older than me haha. And her tattoos.. Please.
