A coffee with Alycia Ramírez
Welcome to the club! To begin, who is Alycia?
Hiiii girlypops! It’s so lovely to meet you all, and I can’t wait to get to know everyone better. But today, it’s all about getting to know a little more about me. It feels so special to be welcomed into the team, and I’m really excited to be part of the club!
I’m a 19-year-old Communication student at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, and I’m currently in my final year. I spend a big part of my everyday life creating content. I have my own social media channels, where I film little pieces of my daily life purely as a hobby.
My whole world basically revolves around romanticising life, always looking at things through a creative, pink pair of glasses. Everything is prettier in pink, right? I can’t wait to bring my creativity to the table, express myself, and keep developing my skills at and together with the Lepelclub.
Where did you grow up and where do you live now?
I was born in The Hague, yes…I know, you probably wouldn’t have guessed that. As a little girl, I quickly moved towards Leiden and the surrounding area, and that’s where I’ve been ever since. I live together with my lovely sisters and my mom. A true girls-only household, and I absolutely love it!
How did you discover Lepelclub?
As a TikTok freak, it didn’t take long before Lepelclub popped up on my For-You Page. All the amazing aesthetics, the dreamy content, and of course…the pink that you simply cannot miss.
After my interview with Noelle and meeting Jill, I immediately felt at home. It honestly felt like a little girl’s dream or even heaven. Have you ever seen the office?! Like, O-M-Y! Not yet? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely show you around later.
Tell us a little about your social media journey, what got you started, and what are your biggest goals with it?
About three years ago, I started posting content on my TikTok account, which was honestly quite scary at first. I kept thinking: What will the people around me think? And what am I actually trying to achieve with this?
For years, I was trying to figure out my own style, and I feel like I’ve finally started to find it. And if you’re ever thinking about starting your own content journey, let me tell you one thing: DO IT! At the end of the day, you’re doing it because YOU enjoy it. You will absolutely rock it!
My goals aren’t completely clear yet, and I actually kind of like it that way. I’m going to keep creating simply because I love it, and I’m grateful for everything that comes my way along the journey. A collab with Lepelclub? I mean…that’s definitely a dream. Can we make dreams happen now?
Looking ahead, how do you plan on stirring things up?
By taking the most delusional ideas and turning them into reality. I’d describe myself as someone who genuinely loves a challenge. I want to make a real difference within the team, grow as a professional, and discover new sides of myself and of Lepelclub.
We’re going to explore new directions, try new things, test, fail, learn, and keep going. Because creating something truly great takes a little bit of everything.
From this moment on, you’ll be looking at things through my rosy glasses. And trust me…it’s going to be amazing!
You’re quite sporty, so what’s your favourite way to move or switch off after a long day?
I genuinely find so much peace in moving my body. I’ll forever be grateful that I have the ability and the opportunity to do so. I cycle, go running, and regularly hit the gym. And when I’m not doing any of those things, you’ll probably find me going for a long walk. It’s honestly one of my favourite ways to clear my head.
My number one tip for you? Listen to podcasts! It’s such a fun way to multitask, and I looooove that. You can go for a walk, get some movement in, learn something new, and completely switch off at the same time. It’s a win-win!
And as always, how do you take your coffee?
As a sport-girly, I’m all about a protein vanilla milkshake…with a good espresso shot (maybe even two shots) And of course, iced, because that just makes everything better.
The whole experience matters btw! Put it in a cute glass (the Bow Tumbler Pink, ofc), add a cute straw, and suddenly your coffee tastes ten times better. It’s science for now on girls.
