Chances are, we haven’t met yet. So let me tell you a bit about myself.
After being single for about 10 years and living between NYC, Paris and Mexico City, I decided to move to LA during the pandemic. Just like that a week after moving, I met my soulmate (thank-you Hinge), and in spite of doctors saying it would be nearly impossible for me to get pregnant naturally at my age, I somehow got pregnant at 38 years old in ONE try.
Dreams do come true – but now what?
I wish I could tell you I cried from happiness the day we found out I was pregnant. I wish I could tell you that it was like all the commercials you see on TV. That wasn’t the case.
I started crying hysterically, and freaking out about mass shootings in America, the education system, parenting books, childhood trauma, nutrition… you name it.
I WAS PETRIFIED.
So when I finally was able to compose myself, I did what I always do to calm myself when things get overwhelming. I googled and vented on whatsapp groups – aka data research.
Researching and editing have been a big part of my job for the last 15 years. Some of the best stores in the world paid me to curate their buys, and brands pay me to help create their aesthetic vision. This was going to be a piece of cake.
Just that it wasn’t. I literally had a meltdown when it came to writing a baby registry. There were simply too many options.
A Zillion Trillion options for EVERY. LITTLE. THING.
Should I buy a sample box with bottles to see which one he likes best? Apparently I need to choose the stroller based on my lifestyle – but what’s my lifestyle even going to be after having a baby? I better choose the right pacifiers or his teeth are going to get misaligned Also, where can I find aesthetically in offensive options for pretty much everything?
A Zillion Trillion options. A Zillion Trillion opinions. A Zillion Trillion reasons why none of this matters. A Zillion Trillion reasons to care.
Zillion Trillion is a no-BS edit for motherhood, design and everything in between.
I do the research, so you actually don’t have to. I know that running a household/business and having a personal life keep you busy enough.
So, you are welcome.
Besos,
Victoria
