Hi, I'm
VIVIAN
Hi stalkers! I'm Vivian, your ordinary girl next door, and as cringey as dubbing oneself that may be, I don't particularly view it as being boastful. I mean, I am, after all, just an ordinary girl next door, often wandering stuck in her day dreams. I started this blog as a way to share content without the constrictions of social media. I just want somewhere I can post freely without the stimulation, pressure, distractions, and other annoying traits that encompass the likes of Instagram. On a normal day, I work full-time in global marketing, but my real passion lies in creating aesthetic or entertaining content, whether that be through modeling in artsy photos or recording a stupid vlog of my silly little life. Fun fact: I am obsesssed with Pomeranians. I've had 4. Shuai Shuai (was my aunt's, but I loved him), Mei Mei (my first baby), and now mimi & momo.

FAQ's
When did you start blogging?
Since I can remember! I was one of those tumblr girls, and apparently everyone who was a serious tumblr girl all work in marketing now, at least that’s what a viral video on TikTok said.
Anyways, before tumblr, I had a Xanga blog (RIP Xanga), which I still dearly miss, but I didn’t back up my blog, so when Xanga crashed, so did my blog. Xanga was how I really got into blogging, web design, web development and taught myself HTML and Photoshop.
My main reason for blogging is so that I can present my content in a way that I like. I get tired of the squares and noise on Instagram, and I like how freeing blogs are. So I’ve been blogging since I was 10 years old, when I had my first Xanga blog. And then throughout HS and college, I used wordpress and tumblr. Also in college, I had a quite popular blog that was featured on Huff Post, BuzzFeed, and more. Finally, I am not starting fresh with this professional blog.

Who takes your photos?
Believe it or not, me myself and I! Or my mom, but usually a tripod (aka myself). I also work with photographers, but sometimes it can be sketchy lol if it’s TFP. Hoping one day I can have the help of an Instagram Husband to take my photos, haha.
What camera(s) do you use?
I take a lot of photos with my Canon G7x Mark III. I love that tiny camera – it’s so compact and great for travel, but the quality of the photos are amazing. For more dreamy portraits, I use my Sony Alpha 6400, 50mm & 85mm lens. Also I take a lot of photos with my iPhone 17ProMax, but I don’t Apple makes the best camera at all.

What is your full time job?
My background lies in corporate marketing, where I mostly focused on US-China teams. Currently, I work in executive communications writing for a Fortune 500 Tech CEO (I write is boardroom speech, keynotes, emails to Jensen Huang, Lisa Su, ofc signing his name, and the like.)

Where did you go to college, and what did you study?
I went to Princeton University, where I got my Bachelor’s degree and studied International Relations.
Princeton doesn’t have a Business major, so I’d probably majored in Business instead, but I do find IR very interesting. I actually got in as an Engineer, with the intention of studying Financial Engineering but very quickly realized that I was not meant to work on Wall Street.

How tall are you?
I am 5’4″.
I have a shorter torso and longer legs, and that’s why I look way taller in photos. I’ve been scouted to be a model through Instagram a few times, but as soon as I tell them my height, they’re like, “oops never mind!” Typically for clothes, I’m wearing size S or XS.

Thanks for visiting. Stay hot, kind, and beautiful!
