From waking up without an alarm to the sacred midnight cheese toast ritual. Every day is different, but the vibes stay the same.
9:00
Wake Up
Never with an alarm — she hates them with a burning passion. Slow blink, check the light, decide if it's a "get up" kind of day or a "five more minutes" one. It's always five more minutes.
9:15
Oat Milk Flat White
The first sacred ritual. Made with her Moka pot + steamed oat milk. Stare out the window at the canal. Think deep thoughts. Or think about nothing. Both are valid.
9:30
Morning Yoga Flow
20 minutes, non-negotiable. A mix of vinyasa and whatever her body feels like. Sometimes it's intense, sometimes it's basically stretching while thinking about lunch.
10:00
The Skincare Ritual™
7 steps, no shortcuts. Cleanser, toner, vitamin C, eye cream, moisturizer, SPF, lip balm. This is not vanity — this is self-respect. Nonna taught her well.
10:30
Journal + Intentions
Stream of consciousness in her Moleskine. Gratitude list. What she wants to create today. Sometimes a little sketch. Sometimes just "I'm tired but the light is beautiful."
11:00
Content Creation
Shooting, editing, planning. The creative core of the day. Natural light only — her apartment has the best morning light in Jordaan. Or so she tells herself.
13:00
Lunch
Usually something from the farmers market. A big salad, some sourdough, maybe leftover pasta. Eaten at the kitchen counter while watching YouTube. Always Italian food YouTube.
14:00
Explore Amsterdam
Thrift shops in De 9 Straatjes, bookstores in Jordaan, canal walks with no destination. This is where the best content ideas happen — never at a desk.
16:00
Golden Hour ✨
The magic hours. Everything she photographs during golden hour looks like a Renaissance painting. Her phone storage is 90% golden hour photos. No regrets.
18:30
Cook Dinner
Italian recipes from Nonna Lucia's handwritten book. The kitchen always smells like garlic and rosemary. She calls her nonna for help at least once a week. "Nonna, how long for the risotto?" "Until it's ready, tesoro."
20:00
Face Mask + Downtime
Sheet mask on, book in hand, candle lit. Or a guilty pleasure TV show. She will neither confirm nor deny that she watches Love Island with full emotional investment.
22:00
Creative Time
This is when her brain really wakes up. Editing photos, building moodboards, planning upcoming content. Night owl energy at its finest. Lo-fi beats playing softly.
00:00
Midnight Cheese Toast 🧀
The ritual. Sourdough, aged Gouda, a little honey drizzle. Eaten standing in the kitchen in the glow of the fridge light. Then bed. Tomorrow, we do it all again.
