We would like to introduce you to Brandon Zingale. He is an influencer located in Cleveland, OH with and has 500k+ instagram followers.
\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"When we got the chance to interview Brandon Zingale, also known on Instagram as @brandonzingale, we jumped on it. Born April 21st, 1990 in Cleveland, Brandon was born and raised in Cleveland where he continues to live to this day. It’s his hometown and he loves repping it. Brandon’s authenticity is a big reason we believe his 500k+ followers continue to engage with him. His fans like the fact that he puts on for his city no matter what.
\nWe asked Brandon to tell us his story, how he got started in social media and how he became an influencer.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"Brandon told us that he was in need of a creative outlet that he could let run wild.He got his start when he began to create daily six-second comedic videos on Vine. With his characters California Carl, and his Mobster character he started to make a name for himself. Through this content, he grew to 700k followers. As we all know though, Vine eventually died, but Brandon’s influence didn’t. His audience grew on Instagram and many of his loyal followers from Vine continued to follow and engage with him on Instagram and now on TikTok as @1dude2doodles.
\nReally, what is glory without the struggle? It wasn’t all for nothing. Brandon told us about how he has learned from his mistakes and also how those mistakes keep him sharp each day. He mentioned how he just keeps going by not letting obstacles paralyze him. We feel like that may be the Cleveland in his blood, always willing to put up a good fight to the end and never giving up. When asked what he sees for his business in the next 10 years, Brandon told us he wants to continue to grow his audience across popular platforms.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-RWp9JctH/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"We asked Brandon to tell us about a few things that people don’t know about him. The first thing that he mentioned when asked this question is that he is a proud alumni of The Ohio State University. He also told us that in addition to being a social media influencer, he has a full-time job in marketing. We picked up from Brandon that he is a busy guy who is all about winning. Brandon also has a chill side as well. Especially when it comes to hanging out with his wife Kristen and their two dogs Sneakers and Oscar.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgmKlMp9o6/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"We also asked Brandon about some of his past collaborations, as well as collaborations that he looks forward to.

\n\n
Brandon consistently preached authenticity, not only in life, but in the influencer business as well. He hinted that not only will your followers appreciate your content more, but that authenticity leads to more engagement and more loyalty from your audience.
\nBrandon gave us some great closing words for anyone looking to be an influencer, or looking to work with influencers. He said, “Always stay relevant while being yourself. Don’t try and be someone you’re not.”

\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"Thalia Dominguez, also known as @xothal on Instagram, took us behind the scenes to show us the woman behind the photos. As a Miami local, Thalia loves the culture, beauty, life, and inspiration of the city she calls home while navigating the facade with confidence and grace.
\nThalia was born in Havana, Cuba. Her parents both grew up very poor, but have managed to give her everything she could have ever dreamed of. Growing up, she was always very artistic. She expressed herself through acting, dancing, modeling, swimming, and her great sense of style.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/CC62_OiDwFm/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"Leaving her home country of Cuba for Miami, Florida at ten years old was a huge challenge, but she never gave up. She confided in us that racism, bullying, and the language barrier made it even harder. “…It took a toll on my mental health as a child. It was hard to make sense of the reasoning behind such a sudden change. I met language barriers that made my school and personal life difficult to manage, but I never gave up. I knew it was all for a reason deep down… Learning English was extremely hard for me, and many times racism and bullying made it much harder to fully step into my power.”
\nThalia told us that she has battled self-esteem issues and struggled to fit in.
\nTo overcome this, she has indulged in self-love and took the time to learn how to be unapologetically herself despite society’s norms.
\nThroughout high school, Thalia gained confidence through cheerleading, becoming captain for two consecutive years. She credits cheerleading with teaching her leadership skills and discipline, but she didn’t stop there. After high school, Thalia began studying broadcast media and journalism at Florida International University and discovered a passion for writing and news anchoring. She makes sure to feed her artistic side as well through modeling and music videos as she works towards her dream of becoming a journalist.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B9spH5ojmyJ/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"We were surprised to learn about the depth of Thalia’s spiritual knowledge. She does tarot and oracle readings (sadly, not yet for the public), and told us that people that meet her are always shocked to see “a pretty face accompanied by ancient knowledge”. While some might call her a “witch,” she’s not a fan of labels.
\nThalia has worked with Fashion Nova, Pretty Little Thing, and many other fashion brands, but believes that her most exciting work is yet to come. She aspires to work with PLAYBOY in the near future, telling us “I am a very free-spirited being, and I stand behind women and our rights to our sexuality forever… it would be an honor to be able to show the world that our sacred bodies are meant to be worshiped.”
\n\n
Thalia sees a bright future for herself. She hopes to one day live in Ibiza, Spain, and sees herself in ten years as a 33-year-old boss mom who runs her own business while still being a full-time wife. She hopes to build a happy home where love matters more than money.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Kv-adjkMZ/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"If Thalia could tell her followers only one thing, she would tell them to LOVE, unapologetically. “I mean this in every sense of the word. Love yourself this way. Love others this way. Love life this way…always go to a place of love and you will be happy. Love is the force of life.”

Remember to buy yourself some travel insurance and don’t forget to ask about pandemic coverage.
\nOnce you book your flights. rental cars and places to stay, it is time to dig into planning the fun.
\nTreat yourself to a freshly made local juice and a yoga class at the Courtyard Juices and Fitness Center, located in downtown Christiansted. Check out their “live”class schedule to ensure your class is being held on site as some classes are still virtual. The open air studio is covered but not enclosed allowing for fresh airflow to keep you safe during your post-COVID vacation. Bring your mat and your mask.
\nWhile you’re in St. Croix, you will want to be sure to make time to soak up the sun at one of the many beaches. While no beach in the US Virgin Islands is considered private, many beaches will feel private as you will have them to yourself. Drive along the east end, south shore, north shore or west end roads that run along the sea shore to find a perfect spot. You’ll find some beaches right along the road, especially along the north shore and west end and others with driveways or walkways to bring you down to the shore such as Smugglers Cove on the far east end of the island.

Hand carved in the 1600’s by the Knights of Malta, Monk’s bath is an amazing salt water pool carved into the sea. You’ll want to have shoes, not just flip flops, if you have water shoes, even better.
\n\n\n
Mount Eagle is the highest point on the island and boasts the best views you will find. The hike is short, maybe about a mile but it is 90% uphill on the way up and will take 30-45 minutes. The walk down is much faster at about 20 minutes. There isn’t much wildlife on the island aside from birds, the occasional birds and unpleasant crawly things but if you’re lucky you may spot a wild horse or mountain goat as we did on our first hike up the mountain. Head out early to avoid the midday sun which can be brutal.

If you are up for organized activities, you will want to give horseback riding a try. Cruzan Cowgirls will bring you on a guided ride through the rain forest and along the beach, all while staying at least 6 feet apart in the open fresh air. It’s a great way to experience the true beauty of the island. Cruzan Cowgirls is not only the go to place for horseback riding on the island of St. Croix but also serve as a resource to the community, providing education to owners and care to rescued animals as the only non-profit horse rescue on the island.
\nRestaurants may be closed for dining in when you visit St. Croix but St. Croix takeout or delivery will still be an option. One benefit of being somewhere that stays warm year round is a plethora of open air restaurant concepts. Whether you are looking to eat in (when allowed) or order take away that you pickup, open air restaurants are your friend when it comes to social distancing and safety during COVID and beyond.

Located on the Christiansted Boardwalk, Rum Runners is a St. Croix favorite for locals and tourists alike. Known for their steaks, local seafood and the best views of the harbor in Christiansted, you won’t regret adding them into your restaurant rotation during your post-COVID trip to the Caribbean.
\n\n
Recently featured on Netflix’s Restaurants on the Edge, Louie and Nacho’s is a favorite among locals, serving up creative spins on tacos and nachos. Named for the owners dogs, Louie and Nacho’s are also a favorite thanks to their support of local rescue efforts of St. Croix Animal Welfare Center and Ruff Start Rescue among others. Their view is not too shabby either.
\n\n
If you are looking for a home away from home type atmosphere, Castaways may be your place. The fare is traditional American bar food with some homemade touches. They are known for their wings, pizzas, burgers, reasonably priced drinks and friendly staff. They do offer a few gluten free options (wings, nachos and tots) as well as a vegan veggie burger and tofu sandwich (with no cheese) with a side of fries or tots.
\nIf you want to sample the local Crucian cuisine, try ordering takeout or delivery using the Island Direct app or website. Two great options, both typically available at Island Direct are the Cast Iron Pot or Singh’s Fast Food a try (get a pate, you’ll thank me). Feel like cooking? Island Direct also offers grocery delivery from Plaza West and Food Town grocery stores.
\nThe natural beauty of the island and its people will provide just the experience you are seeking in a post-COVID vacation, whether you’re a xennial, millennial or gen x’er. If you value open air, beautiful views, turquoise waters, healing vibes and delicious food, take a look at St. Croix for your perfect post-COVID vacation.

Calling Gabrielle an influencer would be an understatement as there is so much more to her. Get to learn more with our exclusive Furlough interview.
\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"When we first got to meet Gabrielle Adrian, who you might know as @gabby_adrian, on Instagram we were experiencing an influencer trip in Hawaii. During this trip we had the ability to dive deep and get to know her. Born February 5th, 1997 in Mt. Vernon Ohio but currently living in Los Angeles, CA. When it comes to where she sees herself living next it is either Columbus or Los Angeles… or bicoastal, it’s hard for her to choose. She likes to follow her heart and opportunity that makes sense at that point in her life. So destination unknown, but lots of places she knows she wants to go.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AViNpgEVY/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"She really has two homes. A home that has been her forever home, Columbus, Ohio. Then her new home that has been calling her name since she’s been a young girl. With Columbus, she loves the nostalgic, prideful and authentic essence. It gives her the calmness of the country but the electricity of the city, both reflecting a lot within her. With Los Angeles, she loves its infinity. By infinity, she means its endless possibility to be malleable and fluid. You can be whatever you want, however you want but built and raised upon your work ethic and morals. Like many places, there is a yin and yang to everything. With Columbus, beyond the mundane weather and occasional traffic jams, she dislikes that Columbus’ creatives, entrepreneurs, and young professionals aren’t on the map as much as she thinks they should be. Slowly but surely, Columbus is being discovered for the great city it is but she personally thinks it should have happened sooner. With Los Angeles, she dislikes conformity. As much as she loves what she just praised… about its uniqueness and limitless boundary, there are still so many lost and easily conformed to whatever that bubble encloses them in… something she has caught even herself in. She strives to not only maintain her individuality but to embrace it and brand it with longevity.
\n
She originates from a small small town in Ohio called Mount Vernon. At age 2, her parents divorced and her mom took us to what they thought was the “big city”, Columbus! This became their new home and it was one of the most pivotal and essential parts of her life as she wouldn’t have created the life she has now in the original small town of Mt. Vernon. A few years passed, she enrolled in a dance studio and fell in love. She quickly found a burning passion that she did extremely well at, launching her into a competitive dance career. She traveled all across the midwest, making many trips back and forth to New York to perform with Broadway Bound. She loved being center stage, performing, the makeup, the costumes, the whole experience was truly whimsical and she loved every part of it. It was all she ever wanted to do and she truly thought it was her one life calling! Being a dancer and performer still highly transcends into aspects of who she is today.
\n
Middle School rolled around and she wanted to be more involved with school activities since her dance life was so consuming outside of it. She tried out for the volleyball team and without any hesitation, she found another love. She ended up giving dance up for volleyball which was a difficult but necessary move at the time. Fast forward, she ended up being a 4 year varsity letter winner in high school and on a National Club volleyball team for Elite Volleyball Training Center where they won Nationals in Dallas, TX when she was 16. That is a very dramatic fast forward, so as you can expect, a lot happened in-between this time. But the important things you need to know are about her development.
\n
Volleyball truly developed her as a strong, passionate and resilient leader. She was every team captain from 7th grade to college. She aspired to be that role once she felt its pride and power. She found that it was natural for her to lead and she enjoyed it. This leadership role is what led her to then be a member of the National Honor Society, Class Cabinet as Class Secretary and be in the top 10 of her class. She loved achieving, it was and still is one of her favorite things to do… and whilst fully transitioning to adult mode now, she is realizing it is a blessing and a curse because the real world doesn’t give out gold stars, points or grades for working your ass off.
\n
Senior year of high school, the lovely senior picture time comes around. She was put into contact with a senior photographer, David Beckham, who had a Senior Model program where you take one of his workshops and then he also takes your senior photos. Today, she has David to thank for starting her modeling career. He was the first person she got professional photos from which lead her to submit them to a local agency, who she is still signed with today! Modeling was never really a first thought for her, just kind of something to do on the side for fun. So what happened after high school?
\n
She got into Ohio State University to study Finance in the Fisher College of Business. She played volleyball for Ohio State the first year until she ended up getting hurt and needing surgery. She joined Alpha Phi Sorority, Order of Omega Greek National Honors Society and Undergraduate Women’s Business Association. During this time, she was getting booked on her first modeling jobs in Columbus for La Senza, Victoria Secret, Express and Abercrombie which was huge to her at this point. If you didn’t know, Columbus is a huge fashion hub for headquarters, so she was blessed with working very early on.
\n College was the beginning of the whole instagram world for her. At the beginning, it was just another social media platform she posted her silly friend pictures on. It slowly transitioned for her when she started posting more of herself and it began to do well. The sorority world also launched the instagram content with it being “the” thing to do. Again, fast forward a few years, she has about 20k followers and is interested in doing more modeling and what her life looked like post graduation.
\n
She always had her eye on California but wasn’t sure how she, Gabby from Mount Vernon, Ohio, would ever get there and actually have a place there. Her oldest sister, Jessica, lived in Huntington Beach for 10 years so she would often visit. It became more familiar and enticing each time she went. The goal was to get a job in marketing or finance after graduating college, that was until she found NewMark Models in summer 2018. She was in California for the summer and she wanted to visit agencies while there. She ended up visiting all the main ones in LA but truly connected with Jules NewMark, the owner and creator of NewMark Models! There was just something different about her, her energy and the potential she saw in her.
\n So, she graduated early in fall of 2018 with my degree in Finance. She moved to Los Angeles, CA in January 2019 and she has almost lived there for a full year now. She does modeling full time whilst working remotely for a tech start-up called Aesthetic Record. She loves that she still gets to use my degree in business but can still pursue this new passion of her. If you would have told her that at 22 years old, she would be living in Los Angeles pursuing modeling, working for a tech startup and flourishing as an entrepreneur … she probably would have believed you, but she would’ve asked, well how did she do it?
\n
Her ambition as a young girl was unlike anything else but it’s what has gotten her to where she is today. She constantly has a fire burning inside of her to go further and achieve more, not because she is necessarily looking for the finish line but because she loves the process. She loves to learn, she loves challenges, she loves to push herself. She says yes to everything because you never know where a single opportunity, encounter or experience can lead you.. that is so thrilling to her. She is in an infinite process of goal setting, dream chasing and becoming the best she can be.
\n She, like most, has had many struggles along her journey. With each new goal, at each new point in her life, new struggles arise. She thinks one of the biggest struggles she has faced was her worry of not being good enough. She thinks this insecurity is deeply rooted in another reason why she aspires to achieve so much. Growing up her parents were very loving and supportive with anything she did, so she ultimately thinks this adversity was something she created herself. It is a common problem many people face, especially in this era of social media and constant comparison, but it is one she now has some insight on.
\n
To overcome this adversity, a powerful tool is to self-reflect. When she looks to the past, she feels a lot of gratitude to remember times where she was mentally and physically to then compare that to where she is today. When you self reflect, you go through the journey again and you can see things more clearly. Self reflecting has given her the ability to show herself gratitude, respect and empathy rather than deploying judgement and insecurities. The truth is, everyone is insecure and unsure of themselves. If you bridge that gap with understanding and compassion, the world seems a bit less lonely and you can be kinder to yourself. Her favorite ways to self reflect are to journal, revisit goals and to do audible journaling with this app called Day One!
\n We wanted to know where she would be 10 years from now and this question is always a little tough/silly for her because her mind changes like the wind. She has so many loves in life and places she wants to go. She has direction but no destination because she lives very fluidly. The common answer would be to be financially independent, be in a strong, healthy relationship and to “be happy”. Of course she wants those things too! — but ultimately, in 10 years, she hopes to be happy on her terms by living out her passions through her talents and strengths, alongside the people she loves. We found out she also has a couple poems published as well. She used to think she wanted to be an author!
Her favorite collaborations are ones that directly reflect who she is as a person and the kind of brand she wants to be perceived as. One of her earliest and ongoing partnerships is with an Australian health and wellness brand, Tropeaka. They are plant based, organic, non gmo, cruelty free…. etc. Their supplements actually taste amazing and she loves their marketing/branding! Another collaboration she is proud of is with Meshki! She has always loved their product and girl boss vibe, so to be working with them now is really exciting!
\n But what about dream brands? Tesla – She deeply aligns with Tesla’s values and mission to be more environmentally friendly. She also loves Tesla’s business model. She thinks their marketing and branding is very lucrative and sexy — but they have a market lacking in women. Men are typically the consumer of Tesla products, so to do a collaboration with them would not only empower women to make this transition to electric vehicles for sustainability but to transition it to be the “cool thing” for women too. LuluLemon — she loves their latest marketing images embracing all body types. She is a returning customer so she believes in the brand and the quality. Dr. Axe — One of her favorite holistic doctors who has a brand called Ancient Nutrition. Incredibly intelligent human with science backed products.
In closing, we asked if she can leave one message to her readers what would it be?
\n“My favorite quote, like I mentioned before… “I am the captain of my ship, and the master of my fate.” You can create whatever it is you want in life, you just have to realize everything that does or doesn’t happen is in your hands and you can take the reigns.”
We had the privilege of getting a bit more information on the one and only Kaitlyn Plowman but you might know her on Instagram as @kaitlynplowman. Want to learn more about her story? Find out here.
\n","post_templates":[{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"It’s time to get to know a little bit about Kaitlyn Plowman. You’ve probably seen her before on Instagram and Twitter with the username @kaitlynplowman. Born on July 24th, 1998 in Albany New York but migrated over to Miami, FL. She is on the fence about what her next destination is and it is between Colorado or California. When it comes to Miami she loves the fast pace of the city, always new opportunities to connect and grow. She dislikes some of the ignorance displayed through individuals and sadly, it upsets her the number of homeless people there are.
\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram_embed","link":"https://www.instagram.com/p/B9797MvJDh0/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_block","content":"She’s sort of just like any other young girl whose sort of lost in life right now, not sure where to go or what to do. She finds out most about herself through traveling and seeing different places. She moved here with the intention of getting better in touch with herself and more importantly, to just live while she enjoys it. She went through a dark period of depression recently that really took a huge toll on her and all she wanted to do now is take back her life. Make it one that she loves every single day.
\n
She’s extremely confident, friendly and outgoing so making new friendships and connections has never been too hard for her. She’s trying to grow in all aspects here, fitness, modeling, intellect, you name it. There’s always something she’s working towards and even though she doesn’t quite know what that is, it doesn’t stop her from trying to find it. A few months back she relapsed in her depression, really hard too. She woke up every day angry that she woke up, and she knew that wasn’t her. She knew that wasn’t the life she was meant to live. She found strength through alone time, meditation and connecting with herself in knowing that all emotions, feelings and times are temporary. We would never know the feeling of happiness if we never experienced unhappiness, and that’s something she always had to remind myself. Instead of drowning in her pain and misery, She tried to see it in a way of ‘what is this teaching her and how can she grow?’ It’s always going to be a struggle but it’s a struggle that I know she will rid of one day soon.
\n
We wanted to know where she would be 10 years from now and this is a question that she’s never been able to answer. She’s never been someone with long term goals and that used to stress her out a lot. She found comfort in knowing that she doesn’t have to know what she wants to do years from now, but instead focus on her small milestones from day to day or week to week that she would like to achieve. Wherever she is in 10 years she knows it will be full of love, happiness, wealth and abundance

But she’d say most people don’t know that she can surf and that she also hasn’t finished school yet. Even though she isn’t sure if she plans too. She’s worked for Bang energy for the last 2 years which she’s proud to have been a part of since the beginning with them. She’s collaborated with smaller businesses that are eco friendly that seek to bring awareness to our oceans and marine life. But what’s her dream brand to work with? Dolls kill: they are her biggest fashion inspiration in terms of unique and edgy style. 4ocean: as she said, she’s big into marine life and oceans so being able to help clean and rebuild our ecosystems underwater would be a huge success for her. Adidas: for her, in fitness and modeling, that’s the ultimate goal for her is to collaborate with a brand like them.

\n “Your mindset and thoughts control everything. I’m so grateful to have learned this at a young age because it’s shown me that you can switch your life around at any point in time. We spend most of our time in our thoughts so it’s important that what we say and put out is positive. Also, although nice cars, jewelry and top of the line items are enjoyable to have, nothing will ever give you the fulfillment such as being kind or giving to others. It could be in a way as small as a smile, but making others happy is always a fueling factor in life & the sense of fulfillment.”
