Christina Eileen shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Christina, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I hate alarms (lol). I’ve trained myself to wake up early without an alarm and set the tone for my day by setting aside at least an hour before I have to do anything. My every day is reading with an at home latte (caramel and sweet cream). I like to clean a little every morning and then I go to my day planner on my iPad and start to organize my day – I love time blocking as I feel it’s effective and productive!
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hey there! I’m Christina Eileen, a content creator and lifestyle influencer passionate about sharing real, relatable moments—from beauty and fashion to home and wellness. What sets my brand apart is keeping it authentic and approachable while inspiring my community to live their best, balanced lives. YouTube is my favorite platform because I love connecting deeply with my audience through longer-form content. Right now, I’m focused on creating fresh, engaging videos and posts that blend everyday style with thoughtful self-care, and I enjoy collaborating with brands that align with my values and vibe. Look for my travel vlogs on YouTube!
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Ahhh – I was certainly very confident as a little girl. It wasn’t until the world showed me negativity and judgment that I learned to adapt my behavior to fit in to society. I always loved to stand out – I even got bullied for my fashion choices! But in the end, through all the ebbs and flows, life has shaped me into a version of myself that holds onto the beautiful parts of my childhood innocence, while embracing the wisdom that comes with life’s ups and downs.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
One hundred percent – that relationships in this world matter more than anything else. I would rather have precious moments with someone I love and cherish than monetary or notoriety success that is fleeting.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
That image is everything. Image is literally at the forefront of the entire influencer industry. However, what I’ve learned is that your relationships truly grow when you build kind and friendly connections with clients, brands, followers, and more — and those relationships are so much more lasting.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
Beneath it all and most important of all – is my relationship with God. Jesus plays a huge role in my life and is absolutely at the center.
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” – Psalm 73:26
