Welcome to Luxllenium, a lifestyle blog and shop, celebrating the beauty and pleasure of everyday life. Please visit us often at https://www.luxllenium.com I created this channel and it's associated website during SIP, in the summer of 2020. I hope to bring to people some joy and relaxation, even just a smile, during this difficult time. I love all kinds of foods and coffees, so a lot of my content will revolve around them. But I strongly also want to help small businesses get more recognition and traffic - so I started the BAY AREA FOOD TRIPS series to explore all the wonderful cuisines we have in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you are more into the mood of relaxing music and zen videos, please check out my Vlog by Luxllenium series. I try to capture beautiful imageries with music with a storyline about everyday life, whether they are eventful or not. As a busy working girl in Silicon Valley, I am quite used to being busy and working on multiple things at once. Wow, but the creation of this channel and website is on a whole different level of craziness! I am a one-person team, so everything is done by me (research, filming, model, editing..etc.) I hope to have fresh content at least once a week. Stay safe!
