‘Twas the night of snowstorm and @sujungchronicl ‘Twas the night of snowstorm and @sujungchronicles and I ventured out to Raleigh for a @averdemexican_cary Pop Up at @vidrioraleigh and feasted. Opening “soon-ish”, A'Verde will have unique Mexican dishes. Sujung and I’s favorites were the Tuna Ceviche Tostada, Pork Rinds, and Mom’s Refried Beans! #hosted By the time we were leaving, Glenwood was covered in snow and Sujung took a photo of me on the road while there were no cars (all while freaking out about the drive home lol). What are you up to on this snow day?! I’m looking forward to eating the leftovers from last night and reading! My “bougie auntie” leopard coat is from @anntaylor via @thredup ♥️
Over the holidays, I thought about what I wanted t Over the holidays, I thought about what I wanted to make more time for this year and at the top of the list was more one-on-one time with my sisters. @sujungchronicles and I are doing a monthly coffee date and today we went to @boulevard_west in Clayton! Clayton is where my family lived when we first moved to North Carolina and holds some of the not-so-happy memories. To be honest, I think I’ve been subconsciously avoiding it since I moved away for college. It felt weird driving on business 70 and seeing so many familiar spots. Anyway, we had a lovely time at Boulevard West drinking our black coffee and eating our croissant sandwiches! Counting today as my first step in reclaiming Clayton(?)! 🥰♥️☕️ Everything(except for my thrifted sweater) is linked in my @shop.ltk https://liketk.it/3vzOb
Happy new year, friends! For the first post of 202 Happy new year, friends! For the first post of 2022, I wanted to share my recent thoughts and feelings about social media. I know I am not the only one whose mental health is affected by social media so I how this resonates with some of you. Authenticity is a value I’ve held close to my heart my entire life. Being genuinely “me” is incredibly important to me and I take pride in being “me.” In the last year or so, I have had this sense of unease because sometimes I am not sure if I am being authentically me on on social media. There’s a line between getting a cute photo to document life versus “doing it for the Gram” and there are times when I can’t tell anymore what I’m really doing. On the other hand, I feel stuck in what I allow myself to share on Instagram. Because Three Shinsters began as a local interest/foodie blog, I am afraid to deviate from that content since that’s not what most people following initially signed up for? This anxiety-inducing rigidity is certainly self-imposed since no one is telling me what to post and I’ve been posting whatever I want to on the blog, TikTok, and YouTube because I feel like there are no expectations of me (by me) on those platforms versus Instagram. What I’m trying to say admist all the rambles is that I want Better with Ju to always be a space where I share authentically and a platform that grows and matures with me. I’m not sure what that will exactly look like in the coming months but I want to allow myself grace and freedom. Thank you for reading and being here. ♥️ Per usual, more words on the blog if you want to read more!
♥️ 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐮𝐦𝐩 ♥️ The last week has been slow and low-key, and I’m so incredibly thankful to have spent it with my loved ones. Here are some moments I took photos of: 〰 Alex and I’s second holiday card 〰 my first time “four-wheeling” at Alex’s parents’ new house (it was more like a golf cart really lol) 〰 some gift opening actions from Christmas Eve 〰 me sporting one of my new favorite/bookish sweatshirts 〰 I tried the chili hot dog from @eatpals for the first time! Also got two large fries 〰 had @bowlofphonc for the first time with @jiyoungenjoys and @thedmunns last night 〰 met up with @nicole.dawn24 in downtown Cary today and was excited to see all the Christmas decor! How have you been/are spending the last few days of 2021? Anything in particular you’re looking forward to in 2022?
Merry Christmas, friends! Hope you’re spending t Merry Christmas, friends! Hope you’re spending time with your loved ones. If not, I hope the holiday season is a time of rest and peace for you. 🎄♥️
