Hi šŸ™‡šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø I’m the New girl 🩷

šŸ‘‹šŸ½ , I’m Berta (pronounced Bur-tuh)! I’m new to Lemon8 and I’m excited to share what’s been on my mind. I don’t know if you can relate, but posting on Instagram just doesn’t feel the same anymore—honestly, it gives me anxiety. The pressure to be "perfect" is draining, and it doesn’t feel real or fun to me anymore.

As I continue to grow, I’m all about surrounding myself with what truly brings me joy, and creating spaces that feel safe, authentic, and uplifting. That’s how BLNCO came to life—on Pinterest (join the FAM🫶) , as a place for me to embrace what makes me me.

Expect to see lots of fashion (I live & breathe it), travel inspo, lifestyle tips, and home decor finds.

I’m also a self-help writer, here to help you navigate your 20s (or any confusing chapter of life you’re in). I’ll be sharing lots of exclusive life advice here, and even more through my newsletter.

I’m hoping we can support each other in our journeys, build a community, and connect in meaningful ways. Can’t wait to share this space with you! šŸ«‚šŸ©·

... Read moreIt’s so refreshing to find a space like Lemon8 where we can truly be ourselves! I totally get what Berta means about other platforms feeling draining. I’ve personally felt that pressure to always seem 'perfect' or to curate an impossibly flawless feed. It’s exhausting, right? That’s why I’m so excited about this community – it feels like a breath of fresh air, a place where genuine connections and real conversations can thrive. It’s not just about showcasing the highlights, but also sharing the journey, the growth, and the little everyday moments that make life beautiful. Speaking of everyday moments, I’m really looking forward to Berta's insights, especially for navigating those tricky 20s. It’s a decade full of big decisions, career shifts, personal growth, and figuring out who you truly are. Having someone share their experiences and self-help tips can be a game-changer. Whether it’s advice on setting boundaries, finding your passion, or even just building a healthy routine, those honest conversations are invaluable. It’s like having a big sister or a wise friend guiding you through. And can we talk about fashion? I love that Berta lives and breathes it! For me, fashion isn't just about trends; it's about self-expression and confidence. It's about finding pieces that make you feel good, whether it's a cozy black hoodie for a casual day or a statement silver chain necklace that adds a little sparkle. I remember trying to put together an outfit for a mirror selfie once, feeling great in my dark green phone in hand, only to doubt myself later. But here, I hope we can celebrate personal style without judgment. It’s about creating looks that genuinely reflect *you*, from your favorite comfy clothes to those moments when you feel put-together, even if it’s just for a trip to the grocery store. Travel is another passion she mentioned, and I’m always on the lookout for authentic travel inspo. It’s not just about the picturesque destinations, but the experiences, the new perspectives, and the little discoveries along the way. How to pack smart, find unique local spots, or even just tips for making long flights more comfortable – those are the real gems. Finally, the idea of creating spaces that feel safe and uplifting, both online and in our homes, truly resonates. Home decor isn't just about aesthetics; it's about crafting an environment that supports your well-being. Maybe it's organizing your vanity area to showcase your favorite red nails, or simply making your white bathroom feel like a spa. I’m eager to see Berta’s finds and how she makes her space feel like a sanctuary. This community feels like a digital sanctuary, and I can't wait to share and grow with everyone here!
