Hi! How are you?

It feels like forever ago, I’ve not been writing so much lately, and when I say not so much, I mean not at all in fact.

That’s mainly because I’ve started a Youtube channel and just getting the hang of it all has taken up a lot of time.

It’s that classic thing of when you decide to start something new you never fully anticipate how much work it actually takes. It’s sticky, frustrating as hell and often takes much longer to acquire the skills and make all those millions of new decisions about banner images and fonts and intro music and whatnot.

There’s a few discoveries that have brought me joy and more insight to this whole “sharing stuff online” category (and how sharing video is different than photos), and I thought I’d share those with you :)

Exciting news- I've started a YouTube channel!

I’m so excited to share my first ever YouTube video with you and would love to hear you thoughts on it so please check it out :)

In this post I thought i would tell you a bit about the process behind the scenes, and how long it actually took for me to get to the point where I actually dared to hit upload and share this video on the internet.

Things nobody told me about becoming an Instagrammer

November 1, 2018 Veronika Lindberg

Over a year ago I made a decision to start putting in serious effort into my Instagram account. I made the conscious choice to work as hard and intentionally as I could towards making Instagram my visual portfolio and creative outlet that could eventually earn me a living.

In the scope of a year I´ve grown from just around 1000 followers to almost 50k and gotten featured on Instagrams own page an incredible pinch-me -I-can't-quite-believe-it 5 times!

This all has finally given me the confidence and courage to start calling myself a content creator, an Instagrammer, maybe even an influencer even though I still think that´s sort of a weird word…

My week through pics on my phone

I can’t belive we’ve already lived in London for almost 3 weeks! While we still don’t have a counch and still sleep on our airmattress bed, our flat is slowly starting to feel more like a home and I’m so excited to start organising things properly around here (the wardrobe is a priority, Marie Kondo would probably faint if she saw it :D)…

Things I'm excited about for Fall

Thinsg I'm excited about for fall-Standing in front of a pink door in Notting Hill with forced perspective cherry power bar

I’ve always been a hopeless daydreamer and mostly find myself thinking about all the future projects and things I want to be doing, rather than the ones that are currently present (oops).

But, instead of working against that I decided to go with the flow and write them all down so I can soak up the pleasure of anticipation even a bit more…

Fun Self Portrait Ideas

July 29, 2018 Veronika Lindberg

Have you ever tried taking a mirror selfie and wondered why it doesn't look quite as fabulous and aspirational as you'd hoped for?

I think by now everyone has taken a selfie in some form and that blurry elevator mirror selfie just isn't going to be enough anymore if you want to engage people and be up there in the league with high quality content creators…

5 Ways to Cope with Summer Restlessness

July 21, 2018 Veronika Lindberg

Is it just me or do you also get really restless in this Summer heat?

There's been a heatwave sweeping over Helsinki for a full week now, and even though I love that you can just step out in a just a slip-on dress and t-shirt, this heat is also making me incredibly restless and lazy!

Which is actually a weird mix when you think about it, because restlessness usually makes you feel like you have too much energy, while lazy is the exact opposite..

The Perfect Morning Routine... Finally!

The perfect morning routine- Coffee and milk and flowers on a kitchen table

I’ve been searching for the perfect morning routine for quite some time and think I've finally found it *crosses finger*.

I recently read that 80 % of people are most productive in the morning, and I’m definitely one of those. After a night’s sleep all the things that stressed me out in the evening don't feel so heavy in the morning and I can think and focus much clearer…

3 photo somposition tips for better storytelling on Instagram- reading the newspaper with a magical faiirytale forest cutout

In the last year I’ve grown my Instagram account from 1k to over 45k, which is partly due to the fact that I’ve gotten featured by Instagram 5 times but also the result of a lot of experimenting and just being quite obsessed with taking photos. In the process I’ve learned quite a lot about composition and visual storytelling, and I thought I’d share these tips with you :)
