A Day In The Life Of A Fashion & Beauty Content Creator
THE SIGNATURE COLLECTION
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.
A DAY IN RIKKI'S LIFE...
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.
PM
To unwind after a long day, I watch TV. At the moment it's Love Island as I love reality television. I also love documentaries – nothing too heavy, just anything ‘real life’. I’ll always have a shower before bed, spritz my Impulse body spray and meditate.
When it comes to being active, I love being in nature. I live in the country, so long walks and lots of strolls around our local area are a must. I’ve always been more of an online shopping girl, so when I want to unwind, I’ll often sit down and have a proper scroll.
Family time is really important to me. While It’s nothing revolutionary, we love getting a takeaway. It’s a big family affair including me, my mum, my sister and my dad. We all sit and have a proper ‘Catch Phrase’ game night. It’s so nice to have proper family time.
For me, true empowerment comes from within. What I’ve noticed is that when I’m not feeling my best, I don’t take pride in my appearance, so I think it goes both ways. If I’m feeling good on the inside, then I feel good and look good on the outside and vice versa.
When I want to feel more empowered, I try to take time to reset. This is typically on a Sunday, when I take a bit of me-time by doing a face mask and having a massage and generally having a bit of a spa day at home. I’m Indian, so I love hair oil and a good hair mask. I prefer a mask that’s not super greasy but still feels nourishing and relaxing. Finally, scent is very important for me – so this is usually when I’ll spritz both myself and my space with ‘Inner Glow’.
My Impulse scent is really clean and fresh. My mood fluctuates a lot with the seasons so during the summer, I feel so much happier. This scent is a depiction of that and always brings me back to that feeling. It also reminds me a bit of freshly washed laundry and takes me back to my childhood too.
Scent really impacts my mood. This scent just reminds me of good times and gives me such a burst of energy. It makes me feel confident too, so I can get ready to go out for the day feeling good.
