A Day in New York City: Embracing Spring 🌸
As the winter chill starts to fade and the sun graces us with its presence, New York City morphs into a magical, vibrant playground that calls its residents and visitors alike to bask in its warmth. It's a season of random 70° days and impromptu adventures. Join me as I take you on a journey through my packed day in the Big Apple!
Morning Rituals: A Good Coffee and Emails ☕️
No day starts without a solid cup of coffee. It's my personal non-negotiable. But first, I had a few pressing emails to attend to, notably signing a contract for my next brand deal and wrapping up some other important tasks.
With my morning brew nearly finished, it was time to step out and seize the gloriously sunny day!
Spring Style: Vampires Meet Sunshine 🌞
Even though it's spring, my wardrobe still leans towards the goth aesthetic. Layers of black aren't just for winter, after all! As I stepped out, I was greeted by a bustling city, more lively than usual for a Tuesday. People were out enjoying the sunshine, including me!
Random Friend Encounters: The NYC Magic 🎉
One of the things I absolutely love about New York is its serendipitous nature. Walk around long enough, and you’re bound to bump into someone you know. That’s exactly what happened when I ran into my friend Harry. Our impromptu chat was a delight, making New York City feel like a giant, adult playground.
Public Transport: Riding the Underrated Bus 🚌
The New York City bus system often doesn’t get the love it deserves. So, when the weather is this beautiful, I prefer to stay above ground and take the bus to my next destination. It's an underrated way to see the city and enjoy the weather.
The Oculus: Architecture and Shopping Extravaganza 🌆
We soon arrived at the Oculus, the World Trade Center's transportation hub and shopping mall. Before diving into my purchase at the tech store inside, let's appreciate this architectural marvel designed by Santiago Calatrava.
Santiago Calatrava: The Visionary Architect 🏗️
Calatrava, a Spanish master, has been breaking architectural norms for years. The Oculus, which cost a whopping $4 billion to construct, stands as a testament to his brilliance. His designs often resemble living things—bones, spines, and more, making his work distinct yet functional.
Ground Zero: Paying Respects 🙏
Adjacent to the Oculus is Ground Zero, where the Twin Towers once stood. The memorial is somber yet beautiful, with every victim's name etched in stone. It's a place of reflection and respect.
Big Purchase: Upgrading My Tech 💻
Inside the tech store, I made a significant purchase—a new laptop! This is the biggest single purchase I've made, and it wasn’t taken lightly. This laptop boasts 64 GB of RAM and 2 TB of internal storage, making it perfect for my video editing needs. Buying high-quality tech is an investment in my work, reducing bottlenecks and increasing productivity.
Let’s unbox this beauty with a bit of ASMR, shall we?

The day's not over yet! We’re heading to the West Village to meet a friend for drinks. One of the perks of being a full-time creator is the flexibility to enjoy the weather and plan my work around it. With my new tech sorted, it’s time to unwind.

Bedtime Mishaps: Keeping It Real 🛏️
My adventure wasn't without some hiccups—a laundry mishap left my cream bed sheets stained by a black jacket. Rather than stress over it, I made a makeshift bed for the night using a throw blanket and a t-shirt as a pillowcase.
These small inconveniences are all part of life, right? Solutions for the stained sheets can wait until tomorrow.
