Life Simplified, Spencer Barbosa
Welcome to Life Simplified, a series of conversations highlighting those who inspire us and turn everyday moments into memorable adventures. Today’s guest is our favorite internet’s bestie, Spencer Barbosa, who empowers and inspires women across the globe.
Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from, how did you get into the social media space? And how you got to where you are today.
Hi I am Spencer Barbosa, I am a full time content creator from Toronto Canada. I started off with acting as a kid and I feel like the natural progression (because I loved being on camera lol) was just to start youtube. I've had a youtube channel since I was in grade 8 and I started tiktok in grade 12. During covid (when i was in grade 12) I was super bored so I started posting tiktoks. It became the most fun part of my day and somehow I turned it into a career. I've always been really passionate about body image and self love (because i struggled so badly in high school with my confidence) and I created a niche all based on self love. I am so happy.
How would you describe your followers in 3 words? What makes them so special? Kind, family and welcoming. My followers are genuinely the greatest community ever. They are legit my family. I share everything with them and they never ever judge me or make me feel silly. I love them so much. Nicest people ever to be honest.
How do you think your followers would describe you in 3 words?CRAZY, ENERGETIC and Relatable. Sometimes i watch my own instagram stories back and im like girlllll what are you doing silly.
Can you walk us through a typical day in your life? What is your one non-negotiable in your everyday routine? A day in my life starts around 9 am (i am a sleep in girl). I usually start with some kind of movement (it could be a hot girl walk, stretch or workout class), I drink my greens and eat breakfast and get straight to work. I basically film my entire life so if i am getting ready I will film a get ready with me. I answer emails, do my meetings and film my branded collabs. I shower and watch tv (usually hannah montana). I am honestly blessed with my dream job. A non negotiable for me is sleeping in. If i can sleep in i will do absolutely anything to sleep in. I am NOT a morning person.
You travel quite a bit! Can you share your most memorable trip with us? What’s your number 1 packing hack? My number 1 memory from travel was probably my trip to Florida with my mom. It was one of those trips that just started with one hundred issues. The hotel was actually a scam and not properly booked, we had nowhere to sleep we were stressed and everything ended up working out perfectly. We got to spend a week at the beach together, wearing my cutest outfits and eating amazing food. It was heaven. My number 1 packing hack is to write out a list before you start packing so that you dont forget anything and you can check everything off. (Plus you can usually re use the list for every trip).
What essentials can you not leave your house without?I can't leave my house without my Summer Fridays lip butter balm in mint!
How do you balance it all? What is your number 1 tip to simplify life?I have actually struggled a ton with Balance. I think what has helped me a lot recently is having a small circle of people who are actually there for me and support me and I LOVE. Its quality over quantity and it took me a really long time to learn that.
Team backpack, tote bag or fanny pack? And why?Team backpack ALL the way. I use mine for travel every time. If I am on a plane the Augustnoa backpack is def my personal item. It has so many pockets and matches with every outfit.
Your authenticity and positive attitude is truly inspiring to millions of women worldwide. What is your biggest advice to our community on staying true to themselves/yourself?Live your life FOR you. If you constantly make choices based on others opinions you are living THEIR life not yours. You have to be cringe to be iconic. We get one life, and I sure as heck wanna go down being MYSELF and knowing that I wasn't too nervous to be myself in fear of judgment.
What are you most looking forward to in the new year?I am looking forward to lots of travel and hopefully trying out new things in my career like acting and modeling.
Favorite augustnoa product (if you have one).The backpack is def my fave! I have the cream colour it is PERFECT. I love how the water bottle holder holds my fave airport snack perfectly (pringles lol)
