Life as Lindsay

💜 Lavender crafts and lavender fields? The perfect summer combination! 💜 One of my favorite experiences at the Ranzan Lavender Festival was making a lavender stick. Using freshly harvested lavender and colorful ribbon, I carefully wrapped the stems to create a beautiful handmade decoration that also keeps the lovely lavender scent. It was such a relaxing activity and a wonderful way to take a piece of the festival home with me. Have you ever made a lavender craft before? 📍Ranzan Lavender Festival, Saitama @ranzankanko #PR #FMCIRCLE #2026らんざんラベンダーまつり #らんざんラベンダーまつり ⸻ 日本語 💜 ラベンダー畑だけじゃない！クラフト体験も楽しめました 💜 らんざんラベンダーまつりで、ラベンダースティック作りを体験しました✨ 摘みたてのラベンダーにリボンを丁寧に巻き付けて作るラベンダースティックは、見た目も可愛く、ほのかな香りも長く楽しめる素敵な飾りです🪻 作業に夢中になれて、とても癒やされる時間でした。思い出を持ち帰れるのも嬉しいポイントです♪ みなさんはラベンダークラフトを作ったことがありますか？ 📍らんざんラベンダーまつり

💜 Lavender everything! 💜 A day at the Ranzan Lavender Festival isn’t complete without trying the lavender treats. I enjoyed lavender shaved ice, lavender ice cream, and lavender manju while surrounded by fields of beautiful purple blooms. Have you ever tried lavender-flavored food? 📍Ranzan Lavender Festival, Saitama 💜 ラベンダーづくしの一日 💜 らんざんラベンダーまつりに行ったら、ラベンダーグルメは外せません✨ ラベンダーかき氷、ラベンダーソフトクリーム、そしてラベンダーまんじゅうを楽しみながら、一面に広がる紫色の絶景を満喫してきました💜 みなさんはラベンダー味のスイーツを食べたことがありますか？ 📍らんざんラベンダーまつり（埼玉県嵐山町） @ranzankanko #PR #FMCIRCLE #2026らんざんラベンダーまつり #らんざんラベンダーまつり

💜 Spent the day surrounded by the calming scent of lavender at the Ranzan Lavender Festival. From picking fresh lavender to walking through endless purple fields, it felt like stepping into a dream. One of those simple summer days that reminds you to slow down and enjoy the little moments. 💜 らんざんラベンダーまつりで、ラベンダーの香りに包まれながら素敵な時間を過ごしてきました。 一面に広がる紫色の景色を眺めながらラベンダー摘みを体験。忙しい毎日の中で、ゆっくりと季節を感じられる特別なひとときでした。 @ranzankanko #PR #FMCIRCLE #2026らんざんラベンダーまつり #らんざんラベンダーまつり

This isn’t a paid collaboration—I just really love these face masks. 💜 When I saw the Saborino × Pure Gummies collab, I knew I had to try it. A 1-minute morning mask that smells like gummies? Yes please. 🍇✨ So naturally, I turned it into a fun little video. Side effects may include craving gummies and seeing floating grapes. 🤭 #JapaneseSkincare #Saborino #PureGummies #MorningRoutine #MomLifeJapan @saborino_official @kanro_pr 💜🍇

One thing Japan does better than anywhere else? Karaoke. Today I’m checking out Rainbow Karaoke, a stylish karaoke spot just a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, the drink bar is included, and you even get to choose one food item from the menu. Whether you’re planning a girls’ night, date night, or just need to sing away the stress after a long day, this is definitely a spot worth adding to your Tokyo bucket list. And here’s a little bonus: if you tell the staff “SNS見たよ” (“I saw this on social media”) when you check in, you’ll get ¥100 off the drink bar through June 30, 2026. Now excuse me while I pretend I’m performing to a sold-out crowd. 📍Rainbow Karaoke Shibuya 東京都渋谷区神南1-21-3 渋谷モディ8F #PR @rainbow.shibuya

My only competition is the person I was yesterday. Continuous growth over comparison, always. 🌱✨ ⁠#tokyomom⁠ ⁠#workingmomjapan⁠ ⁠#tokyocontentcreator⁠ ⁠#growthmindset⁠ ⁠#mompreneurjapan⁠

As a content creator, I wish I knew this when I was starting out. I spent so much time focusing on Instagram that I completely overlooked other opportunities. One of the best creator opportunities I’ve had actually came through LinkedIn. If you’re trying to grow as a creator, don’t put all your energy into one platform. Make sure you’re looking in places where opportunities are being posted too. This is just one of the things I’ve learned on my content creation journey. 💛 What do you wish you knew when you started? #ContentCreator #CreatorTips #UGCCreator #LinkedInTips #ContentCreation

I’ve had quite a few people ask how I started getting content creator jobs, so I thought I’d start sharing my journey. The truth? I didn’t go viral. I started with a few paid collaborations, then some UGC work, and eventually landed a paid content creator role through LinkedIn. I’m still learning every day, but if you’re interested in content creation, UGC, brand collaborations, or finding opportunities online, I’ll be sharing what’s worked for me and the advice I’ve picked up along the way. Have you ever thought about becoming a content creator? #ContentCreator #UGCCreator #CreatorTips #MomLifeInJapan #ContentCreationJourney

My new mom-life makeup hack 💕 This stick blush takes seconds to apply and is perfect for busy mornings, school drop-offs, and running out the door. Because some days, “put together” needs to happen in under a minute. ✨ #MomLife #MakeupInJapan #BusyMom #KBeauty #EasyMakeup

☕️ If we were having coffee together… I’d tell you my son lost his school hat, my work schedule changed, I’m heading to Reckitt today, and I still need to renew my driver’s license. 😅 Life is busy, but we’re making it work. ☕️ 今週コーヒーを飲みながらお話しするとしたら… 息子が帽子をなくしたり、仕事のスケジュールが変わったり、今日はReckittへ行ったり、運転免許の更新もしないといけません😅 バタバタだけど、なんとか頑張っています！ #MomLifeJapan #LifeInJapan #WorkingMom #CoffeeChat #MommingItInJapan

POV: You’re balancing 5 roles in a single day. 😅 👩‍👦 Mom 👩‍🏫 Preschool teacher 📱 Content creator 💻 Creator manager 🏫 Helping manage an English school My day starts with getting the kids out the door and ends with midnight meetings. In between? Train rides, filming content, editing videos, gym sessions, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, emails, and trying to squeeze in a little time for myself. Some days I wonder how it all fits into 24 hours. This is a real day in my life as a Canadian mom living in Japan through my Meta glasses. 👓✨ What’s one role you play every day that people don’t see? @Ray-Ban #metaglasses #dayinthelife

Girls just wanna have fun… and apparently relearn how to hula hoop. 😂 Safe to say I’m not winning any hula hoop championships anytime soon, but at least I’m having fun trying! 💃✨ Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself and keep spinning. 💕

Some days my skin looks as tired as I feel. 😅 After a long day of work, mom life, and everything in between, taking a few minutes for myself makes all the difference. I’ve been loving the VT Vitamin C Astaxanthin Mask and Vitamin C Astaxanthin 7 Days Mask as part of my evening skincare routine. ✨ The perfect little self-care moment before bed. #PR #VTCosmetics #VT #SheetMask #SkincareRoutine @vtcosmetics_spot

Started a new hobby? 😂😂😂😂😂 #holahoop #adhd

How do I feed a family of 4 while working 5 jobs in Japan? 🇯🇵 The answer isn’t fancy meal prep or spending hours in the kitchen. It’s meal planning. Between managing creators full-time, helping a startup, creating content, working at a preschool, and raising two boys, having a dinner plan saves me so much stress during the week. A quick grocery run today means one less thing to worry about tomorrow. What’s one meal your family never gets tired of? #WorkingMomLife #LifeInJapan #MomLifeJapan #MealPlanning #MommingItInJapan

Be proud of yourself. No one sees the battles you fight every day. The worries you carry in silence. The strength it takes to keep going when you’re tired. The courage it takes to show up when life feels heavy. Some days, simply getting through the day is an achievement. So give yourself credit for the moments no one applauds, the sacrifices no one notices, and the challenges you’ve overcome without recognition. You are stronger than you realize, more resilient than you know, and your efforts matter—even when they go unseen. Keep going. Your story isn’t finished yet.

Who knew I could find a little taste of LA right here in Tokyo? 🌮🍋 Tucked away in Ebisu is this fun taco spot serving colorful lemonades in a variety of flavors. The drinks are refreshing, the tacos are delicious, and the whole place has such a great atmosphere for a girls’ day out, date night, or catching up with friends. If you’re looking for a Tokyo hidden gem, this one is definitely worth adding to your list! ✨ Mention that you saw my Instagram when you pay and receive 10% off your order. 📍Ebisu, Tokyo #PR @lalatacos_official #TokyoFood #TokyoHiddenGem #EbisuTokyo #JapanLife

@musclecafe_roppogi Looking for a fun night out in Tokyo? 🍻💪 I recently visited Muscle Bar in Roppongi, and it was definitely one of the most unique experiences I’ve had in Japan. From nonstop entertainment and energetic performances to drinks and plenty of laughs, there was never a dull moment. One minute you’re enjoying your drink, and the next you’re being lifted into the air. 😂 If you’re planning a girls’ night, celebrating a birthday, or just looking for something different to do in Tokyo, this is one spot worth checking out. 📍Muscle Bar Roppongi Would you try this? 👀 #PR #TokyoNightlife #Roppongi #JapanTravel #TokyoActivities
