What is this?
A peek into my brain as a thirty-something figuring out first-time motherhood—after already living a few different lives. I’ve been the beauty girl, the life-of-the-party girl, the boujee best friend… and now I’m the mom, learning as I go. This is where I’ll share the lessons I never signed up for, the vulnerable stuff I usually keep to myself, and the self-care rituals I’m holding onto no matter what.
When will you hear from me?
I’ll post here every week (sometimes more) whenever there’s too much on my mind for just an Instagram caption.
Who am I?
I’m Kornelija Collins. I used to go by Koko, but at some point you outgrow the nickname. Years ago I got labeled “the high-maintenance influencer” after saying coffee and walks don’t count as real first dates. Turns out a lot of women agreed—and that one moment ended up sparking everything. I started sharing about high standards, beauty, dating, lifestyle—and found a whole community of women who wanted more for themselves too.
That community became the Boujee Best Friend podcast, and now it’s led me here: wife, mom, entrepreneur. Still obsessed with beauty, still holding my standards high—just carrying it all a little differently these days.
Not a mommy blogger. Just a girl who became a mom, sharing it all as it happens—raw, honest, and chic.
