Life as Lindsay

Your next favorite spot to hang out in Ebisu ☕️✨ I recently stopped by City Camp Cafe and loved the cozy atmosphere.

People see the posts, the reels, and the collaborations. They don’t always see the evening behind them. Gym. Groceries. Dinner. A disappointed kid who needed some space after a tough day. A mom trying to balance emotions, work, and everything in between. Then a few hours of content creator work, some veggie sticks, a drink, and a couple hours of sleep before waking up for a midnight meeting. Not every day is perfect, but we’re making it work. One day, one task, one cup of coffee at a time. ☕️ #MomLifeJapan #WorkingMom #ContentCreatorLife #LivingInJapan #MommingItInJapan

The doctor looked at me and said: “I can’t promise anything.” As a first-time mom, those were the last words I wanted to hear. 💔 Threatened miscarriage 🛏️ Bed rest 🏥 Weekly checkups Thankfully, this story has a happy ending. 🎥 Watch the full story on my YouTube channel.

☕️ If we were having coffee together… I’d tell you it’s my birthday week, my calendar is packed, and I’m trying to balance work, content creation, appointments, friendships, and family life. Some weeks feel chaotic. Some weeks feel exciting. This week somehow feels like both. I’m also looking forward to lunch with a friend and a weekend getaway at my best friend’s place, which feels like the perfect birthday-week treat. What’s happening in your world this week? 👇 Tell me in the comments. ☕️ もし一緒にコーヒーを飲んでいたら… 今週は私の誕生日ウィークです🎉 仕事のミーティングや予定、送らなければならないメールなどで忙しい1週間になりそうですが、友達とのランチや週末に親友の家へお泊まりに行く予定もあって楽しみにしています。 忙しい中でも、少し立ち止まって楽しむ時間を大切にしたいなと思っています☕️ みなさんは今週どんな予定がありますか？ #MommingItInJapan #CoffeeChat #WorkingMom #LifeInJapan #BirthdayWeek 🎂☕️✨

【PR】 As a busy mom of two, working full-time and trying to stay active, I’m always looking for simple products that fit into my daily routine. Recently, I tried F&W Arginine+ in their new Pine Soda flavor 🍍✨ It contains arginine, citrulline, GABA, and bioperine, and the Pine Soda flavor is refreshing and easy to drink. It honestly reminded me of a Japanese pineapple soda! I’ve been enjoying it as part of my busy days, whether I’m heading to the gym or just trying to keep up with everything on my schedule. Have you tried Pine Soda flavored drinks before? #PR @fandwjapan #fandw #パインソーダ #アルギニン #新商品

Last week, before heading to a collaboration and then off to work, I stopped by one of my favorite little spots in Harajuku. ☕️✨ Life has been busy lately, and sometimes it feels like every minute of the day is planned out. But taking a few moments for a good coffee and a quiet break reminded me of something important: You don’t have to wait until life slows down to enjoy it. Find joy in the small moments. The coffee before work. The walk to the station. The café you’ve been meaning to revisit. Those little moments add up too. ❤️ What’s a small thing that made your day better recently? #LivingInJapan #HarajukuCafe #TokyoLife #WorkingMom #MommingItInJapan

🦞 A little taste of Maine right here in Tokyo! I stopped by Luke’s Lobster in Omotesando and enjoyed their famous Lobster Roll packed with fresh lobster shipped directly from Maine. The buttery lobster, fresh roll, and cozy terrace seating made for the perfect lunch break. I also tried their limited-time Berry Mash Shake, which was the perfect sweet treat to pair with the lobster roll. 🍓🫐 If you’re exploring Tokyo and looking for a unique lunch spot, this is definitely one to add to your list! 🦞 Luke’s Lobster Omotesando 📍 Cat Street, Omotesando — 🦞 東京でメイン州の味を楽しんできました！ 表参道のLuke’s Lobsterで、本場メイン州から直送されたロブスターをたっぷり使ったロブスターロールをいただきました。 バターの風味が効いたロブスターとふわふわのロールパンの相性が抜群✨ 期間限定のベリーマッシュシェイクも一緒にいただき、とても贅沢なランチタイムになりました🍓🫐 東京観光や表参道散策の際にぜひ立ち寄ってみてください！ #sponsored #japantravel #japanguide #tokyofood #japanstreetfood

Day 28 & 29 🤍 One thing I’m learning during this reset journey is that progress doesn’t always look productive. Day 28 was slow. No gym. No pressure. No trying to do everything. I gave myself permission to rest and recharge. Day 29 was a different story. After taking a break from the gym while my mom was visiting, I finally went back. And wow… I felt weaker than before 😅 The weights felt heavier. My energy felt lower. And I couldn’t do what I was doing a few weeks ago. But I showed up anyway. I’m realizing that resetting isn’t about being perfect every day. Sometimes it’s resting. Sometimes it’s starting again. Both matter. Here’s to giving ourselves grace while still moving forward 💪🤍 Day 28 & 29 のリセット🤍 リセットは毎日頑張ることだけじゃないと学んでいます。 28日目はゆっくり休む日。 無理をせず、自分を休ませることを優先しました。 29日目は久しぶりのジムへ。 母が日本に来ていた間お休みしていたので、思った以上に体力が落ちていてびっくり😅 前と同じ重さが上がらなくても、とにかく行ったことが大事。 休むことも前進。 また始めることも前進。 自分に優しくしながら進んでいきます💪🤍 #momlifejapan #gymjourney #resetjourney #lifeinjapan #busymomlife

POV: You finally found the perfect work bag 💼✨ As a busy mom, I need a bag that can keep up with my day. From work essentials to everyday must-haves, this one fits everything while still looking stylish with any outfit. Cute ✔️ Practical ✔️ Mom-approved ✔️ What’s the one thing you always carry in your bag? #WorkBag #WorkingMom #MomLifeJapan #BagStyle #EverydayEssentia

This tattoo became a reminder of everything I survived this year. 🌸 While the cherry blossoms were blooming, my life completely changed. I got laid off, felt lost, and had no idea what my future would look like. But instead of staying stuck, I pushed myself to grow through it. To chase new dreams, create a new path, and finally start finding work that makes me feel fulfilled again. Cherry blossoms only bloom for a short time, but they remind us how beautiful growth can be even after difficult seasons. This tattoo will always remind me that I bloomed too. 🌸 #momlifeinjapan #tattoostory #HealingJourney #lifeinjapan #momcreator

Day 24 🤍 #PR Today’s reset started in the morning 🧘✨ I joined an online English yoga class from home and it ended up being such a calm way to begin the day. What I thought was interesting is that the class mixes English and Japanese throughout, so instead of feeling like studying, it felt more natural while moving and following along 🤍 I also liked that it wasn’t just watching a recording — the class is small and the instructor checks in during the session, which made it feel more personal and comfortable. Starting the morning with movement felt really refreshing and set a calmer tone for the rest of my day ✨ Trying new things as an adult can feel intimidating sometimes, but this ended up being a really nice experience 🧘🤍 Would you try morning yoga? ☀️ 今日のリセット🤍 今日は朝からオンライン英語ヨガ🧘✨ 英語と日本語を交互に使いながら進むので、勉強というより自然に楽しめる感じでした🤍 少人数制で先生が様子を見ながら進めてくれるので安心感も◎ 朝から体を動かすと気持ちよく1日がスタートできました✨ #PR @yogahub.moriya #unwindtoshineyoga #英語ヨガ #TPRメソッド

Slow Sundays are my favorite lately 🤍 A little skincare, chores, planning, creating, and ending the day with family time. Not every day needs to be productive… sometimes a calm reset is enough ✨ What’s your favorite part of a Sunday? JAPANESE 最近はこんなゆっくりした日曜日が好き🤍 スキンケアして、家事して、予定を立てて、少し自分時間も。毎日頑張る日じゃなくてもいい。こういうリセットの日も大事✨ みんなの日曜日の楽しみは何ですか？ #S#SundayVlogS#SundayResetM#MomLifeJapanL#LifeInJapanContentCreator

Mini skincare that actually fits in my pouch 🧴✨ I pulled out all 4 mini VT REEDLE S products to compare the different levels—100, 300, 700… and 🖤 BLACK REEDLE S 100. I love that the mini size makes them easy to carry for travel, overnight stays, or trying different levels before committing. And BLACK REEDLE S 100 is only available at Don Quijote stores in Japan 👀✨ Which one would you try first? #PR #Donquijote #reedleshot #skincare

I came to Kawagoe expecting sweet potato snacks… but left thinking about these tofu donuts instead 🍩🤍 Freshly made right in front of us and SO worth the stop. Light, fluffy, crispy on the outside, and not overly sweet—basically the perfect snack while exploring Kawagoe. And ending with donut cheers with friends just made it even better 🥂🍩 Definitely save this spot for your next Kawagoe day trip ✨ #Kawagoe #JapanTravel #Saitama #JapanFood #MommingItInJapan

The cutest Japanese souvenir you NEED to add to your Tokyo list 🇯🇵💙✨ Come with me to explore @caspace_tokyo in Harajuku 👀 I expected cute phone cases… but I didn’t expect SO many designs 😭✨ From retro styles to colorful accessories, AirPods cases, phone straps and so many tiny details. And can we talk about their super popular vending machine case for a second… because I totally understand the hype 💙 Such a fun stop if you’re visiting Tokyo and want something unique to take home ✨ Which one would you choose? 👇💭 #TokyoJapan #Harajuku #JapanFinds #PhoneCase #TokyoTravel

The reality of being a working mom in Japan 🇯🇵 Tomorrow my kids finish school early after lunch, and the school encouraged parents to spend time device-free with their children and friends. And honestly? I think it’s beautiful. One thing I truly admire about Japan is how much value is placed on community, presence, and childhood. But as a working mom… my first reaction was guilt. Because I can’t be there tomorrow. I’ll be working. Sometimes it feels like there’s an unspoken expectation that moms should always be available — for every event, every early pickup, every moment. Meanwhile many of us are balancing work, bills, schedules, mental load, and trying our best to still be present for our kids. I know the email came from a good place. But I also know other working parents probably read it and thought: “…I wish I could.” Trying your best counts too. 💛 #workingmom #lifeinjapan #momlifeinjapan #livinginjapan #mommingitinjapan

Falling in love with the process of becoming the very best version of myself ✨ Not rushing. Not chasing perfection. Just growing, learning, healing, and showing up every day a little stronger than before. 🤍 自分自身の最高の姿になっていく過程を好きになる ✨ 完璧を求めるんじゃなくて、少しずつ成長して、学んで、自分らしく前に進んでいく 🤍 #SelfGrowth #LifeInJapan #MomLife #PersonalGrowth #MindsetShift

@ユニクロ【公式】 Day 18 🤍 Today’s reset was simple… comfy clothes ✨ Something about soft linen pants, an easy outfit, and feeling comfortable just makes busy days feel a little lighter. Not every reset has to be deep. Sometimes it’s just finding little things that make life feel softer 🤍 今日のリセット🤍 今日は楽な服の日✨ リネンパンツみたいな、ゆるくて心地いい服。 小さなことだけど、少し気分が変わるよね🤍 #momlifejapan #uniqlo #linenpants #mayreset #lifeinjapan

I got laid off on the last day of February. 💔 One month to find something. Hundreds of applications. 50+ interviews. I took two part-time jobs just to keep going. But I never stopped looking — and now better things are coming in. 👀 If you’re in survival mode right now, take the job. Pay your bills. Just don’t stop there. Keep going. 💛 2月最終日にレイオフされた。💔 1ヶ月で何百社も応募して、50回以上面接した。とりあえず生活のために2つのパートを掛け持ちした。 でも、探すのはやめなかった。今もいい話が来てる👀 今は生き延びることで精一杯でも大丈夫。でもそこで止まらないで。 諦めないで💛 #JobSearchJapan #ExpatJapan #MomLifeJapan #realtalk #LifeInJapan

First time trying a traditional Japanese temari workshop 🧵✨ I’ve always admired how detailed and beautiful temari balls are, but I never realized how much patience and skill goes into making them until now 🫶🏼 Such a relaxing and meaningful experience learning this traditional Japanese art by hand 🇯🇵 Definitely one of my favorite cultural experiences in Japan so far. Have you ever tried a workshop like this? 🎀 #JapanLife #Temari #JapanExperience #JapaneseCulture #MommingItInJapan
