We had the good fortune of connecting with Deana Romano and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Deana, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
I definitely think that consistency is how you succeed on any social media platform. Not all posts or videos perform well but you have to remain consistent for your following and yourself. Always follow through every single day with capturing content. Consistently posting every day helps keep your audience engaged and attracts new followers. Not every day is easy but stay consistent will help you grow and succeed.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
In terms of my photos, videos and vlogs I have always vowed to keep it real and honest on my page. I always show the good, bad and ugly part of my days. I never want to portray that my life is always pixie dust and fun times. I always want to show my struggles too. I also don’t have one niche thing that I post about becuase I enjoy so many things. My content is geared towards fashion, theme parks, travel, mom life, body positivity or just being silly. It’s 100% my personality and I want people to appreciate how vulnerable it makes me to talk about some of the things that I’m feeling like anxiety or depression.
I’ve learned to make sure I’m doing this becuase it makes me happy and stop worrying about likes, follows or engagement. I create every single day because i genuinely enjoy it. When you stop comparing your success to someone else’s journey then you can just enjoy what you are doing. Always root everyone on and be kind.
It definitely isn’t easy being a creator especially if you do this full time. It’s most definitely a job and it can be really hard some days. I laugh just as hard as I cry on here. It can be challenging to face judgement but I try to impact as many people as I can every day and focus on that. I am most proud of everything that I’ve accomplished and the brands I’ve been able to work with becuase it I did all this by myself all from just sharing things I love.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my bestie was coming to visit we would be staying at a Disney resort for a few days. I love Riviera Resort. We would have brunch at Topolinos, go to the parks and enjoy some fine dining at California Grill.
Then I’d love to take them to Universal Studios for a few days and stay at Loews Royal Pacific hotel, it’s my favorite! Since it’s October we would go to Halloween Horror Nights and the parks. My favorite Universal restaurant is Big Fire Grill so we would go there. We would definitely be buying wands, drinking Butterbeer and visiting the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
I’d love to take them to Disney Springs to go shopping at World if Disney and Zara. We would go to Gideons Bakehouse to get cookies and cold brews. I also would take them to the Mall of Millenia and then have a spa day for massages.
You have to go to Icon Park in Orlando to go on the giant wheel especially at night when Orlando is all lit up too!
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband Adam has always been my biggest supporter in this journey. He cheers me on even in the days I don’t believe in myself and he sees my vision. He makes sure to do everything he can to support me, capture content and travel with me everywhere. He sees what I’m trying to do and helps me every single day.
