Cindy has just reached the 150k follower mark on Instagram. She is on the show to talk about this new landmark for herself and sell her ‘brand’ to the audience. Cindy intends to detail her rise as a influencer, making it clear that her chosen occupation is no walk in the park. She also uses the radio show to show off and brag about certain things now that she is in a better, affluent situation. Cindy has recently returned from a 3 month holiday which she calls ‘work’, spending weeks in Dubai to take photos, review restaurants and make vlogs. Apparently the trip was also used to branch out her growing makeup line.
