Meet Lilian | Mini Vlogger & Beauty Influencer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lilian and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lilian, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Over time, my work-life balance has evolved as I’ve gained more experience and learned what truly matters. At first, I used to focus heavily on work, thinking that success required constant hustle. But as I’ve grown, I’ve realized that balance isn’t about splitting time evenly—it’s about prioritizing what’s important in the moment.

Now, I see work-life balance as a fluid concept rather than a fixed formula. Some days, work takes more focus, and other days, I allow myself to fully recharge. I prioritize efficiency, set boundaries, and make time for personal growth, relationships, and self-care.

Ultimately, balance is about alignment—ensuring my work supports the life I want rather than taking over it. How I think about it now is simple: If I’m fulfilled in both areas, I know I’m doing it right.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My career as a mini vlogger, beauty influencer, and hairstylist has been a journey of passion, creativity, and perseverance. What sets me apart is my authenticity and versatility—I don’t just focus on one thing; I blend beauty, hair, lifestyle, and content creation into a unique experience for my audience. Whether I’m installing a wig, braiding, sharing my beauty routines, or capturing life’s moments through my vlogs, I aim to inspire, educate, and entertain all at once.

I’m most proud of how far I’ve come in building my personal brand. Seeing my work resonate with people—whether it’s a client loving their hair or a follower finding value in my content—keeps me motivated. But getting here wasn’t easy. There were times when I felt discouraged, doubted my skills, or struggled with balancing everything. I overcame these challenges by staying consistent, continuously learning, and reminding myself why I started in the first place.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that growth takes time, and comparison is the thief of joy. Instead of focusing on what others are doing, I’ve learned to stay in my lane, trust my journey, and embrace every step of the process.

If there’s one thing I want the world to know about my brand and story, it’s that I’m here to uplift, create, and connect. My goal is to inspire people to express themselves through beauty and self-care while sharing my journey authentically. Whether you’re here for the hair, the beauty tips, or the vlogs, I appreciate every person who supports my work, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Absolutely! My journey wouldn’t be where it is today without the love, support, and inspiration from so many people. First and foremost, I want to shout out my family and close friends—they’ve always believed in me, encouraged my creativity, and pushed me to chase my dreams even when I doubted myself.

I also have to recognize the amazing beauty and content creator community that has inspired and motivated me to keep evolving. Watching other creators share their journeys has given me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and show up authentically.

Lastly, I’d love to give credit to the people who support my content—my followers and clients. Whether it’s engaging with my videos, booking my hair services, or simply sending a kind message, every bit of support means the world to me. Your encouragement keeps me going, and I’m so grateful to be on this journey with you all!
