Accepting Free Shit from IG Brands

I’ll give you the tl;dr version up front: “free shit” isn’t always free, especially when you’re an influencer or blogger. No brand gifts you anything out of the goodness of their own heart but rather in hopes that you’ll promote…

10 Ethical & Sustainable Activewear Brands

Oh hi there!

Vicki feels kind of ridiculous talking about herself in the third person as if she isn't the one writing this. She already feels weird when people call her an influencer, please don't make her write her own bio too.

What a unique experience of doing an educational forest walk while product testing new gear followed by a pop-up sauna and cold plunge. Moments like this are a nice time for me to reflect on how I don’t have to do it, I get to do it.

If you’re a creator who shares toxic content alo If you’re a creator who shares toxic content along the lines of “people ask me how I get to eat so much and stay thin” to flex your workout routine then maybe you need to need to rethink your relationship with food. 

We get to meet amazing chefs and try exceptional dishes and one of the biggest takeaways I get from these experiences is that food does not hold morality.

What you’re doing is applauding thinness and demonizing anyone who isn’t because “if you can do it, why cant they?” It’s always straight-sized creators talking about how they “stay lean” while not acknowledging what an immense privilege is it to have the funds and the time to commit to fitness classes - another thing that is often gifted to us in exchange for posting content. 

Also major side eyes to these studios that partner with creators to perpetuate the message that movement is a punishment that gets rewarded with sustenance. Your clients who actually pay for a membership to be there deserve to not be mislead into the belief that calories are something you have to earn through suffering. 

This shouldn’t be a hot take, but don’t follow foodie accounts who make you feel worse about your relationship with food.
