Five years ago, if you had told me I’d become an influencer, I would have laughed. Cooking has always been my passion. As a little girl, my grandmother would lift me onto a chair at the kitchen counter. She let me help with everything, planting the seeds of my love for food. Now, I run my own business, Big Delicious Life, right from my kitchen.
These days, I juggle so much—creating content for brands, managing my website, and being a mom. It’s surprising how far I’ve come from those early days of cooking with my grandma.
Technology Makes Life Easier
Technology is a big part of my life. As a creator, I had to adapt quickly as tools and trends shift all the time. I use my iPhone for everything—taking photos, shooting videos, and editing them with apps like Lightroom and InShot. It’s my creative hub. But my phone isn’t just for work. It’s also how I keep my family organized.
For example, Google Calendar helps me manage our family’s busy schedules. My Roborock vacuum keeps our floors clean, which is essential with a toddler. I also use Nest cameras and Yale smart locks for home security. Even my baby monitor is tech-savvy; the Nanit Pro allows me to check in on my little one easily. I make sure I prioritize my own well-being too, booking fitness classes through ClassPass.
According to a recent survey by Pew Research, about 85% of Americans now use smartphones in their daily lives, reflecting a strong reliance on technology for managing both work and home life. This trend isn’t just a fad; it’s a new way of living. Technology gives me the freedom to pursue my passion for cooking while caring for my family at the same time.
Embracing these tools has opened up so many possibilities. I’m able to blend my personal and professional life in ways that were unimaginable before. When you know how to leverage technology effectively, you can enjoy the best of both worlds too.
