A Day In The Life Of A Fashion & Beauty Content Creator

Impulse has collaborated with six influencers to create a Signature scent based on what femininity and empowerment means to them. From the Sweet Cherub body mist to Sunkissed Dreamer  and Inner Glow, there are plenty of scents to choose from. Plus, we’ve partnered with Impulse to take a sneak peek into three of these creators’ lives. From what they do to feel their best to how and when they feel strongest, the next influencer in our series is Rikki. 

AM

I like getting my serotonin going as soon as  I wake up. To do this, I straight away get my windows and blinds open to let in the daylight and then make my bed. It's so simple but it's such a great way to start the day. I’m also guilty of having a coffee with lots of sugar in it. Unhealthy – but it helps. 

Affirmations are a constant in my AM routine. Me and my sister have this pack of cards with different affirmations on them, so sometimes we’ll randomly pick one out and use them to set intentions for the day. I’ll then try to do some meditation to make sure I’m feeling peaceful and grateful for everyone and everything in my life. I work from home, so I like to have a bit of a routine in the mornings. First things first, I like to freshen up in the shower. I then brush my teeth, wash my face and do my skincare routine. This consists of cleanser, moisturiser, then serum. I'll then go in with my fragrance, 'Inner Glow' before heading out.  

I’ve always had a passion for make-up and beauty. When I look good, I feel good. During lockdown I did a lot of glow-up content to help girls feel good and motivated to treat themselves – really to pass the time! That sort of thing can instantly change your mood. I’m trying to make beauty a more accessible place because I think it’s something everyone can get involved in. 

Eyebrows are my thing. I always get them threaded; it really impacts the way I feel, as silly as that may sound. Body positivity is very important to me and growing up as an Indian girl, I was always picked on for my hair – so that’s why on my  scent’s bottle, the girl has a monobrow. 

I recently went to Barcelona and fell in love with the food from the markets. I’m actually not a massive breakfast girl, but I’ve been trying harder to make an effort so my go-to morning meal is a slice of bread with lots of olive oil, garlic salt, tomato, Parma ham and olives. 

Head-to-toe black used to be my comfort zone when it came to outfits. I was probably just shy but now I enjoy incorporating bright pastels and neons into my look.

Pasta is always my favourite thing to order – and cook too. Tomato fusilli is my go-to. I also love olives, so I tend to chuck them into my pasta for a bit of a twist. Mediterranean food is probably my favourite. 

I’ve got a big sweet tooth. If I have anything savoury, I have to have something sweet afterwards. Lately, I’ve been trying to have a coffee after food, but a really rich one with caramel or vanilla syrup or even an amaretto coffee – which is something my mum introduced to me.
