Ever since Idelis posted a video on Instagram showcasing her breakfast featuring strawberries grown in her own Cuban garden, she has captured the attention of many online, particularly among the Cuban community. Despite facing criticism, this young influencer remains unfazed. In a recent video, she candidly shared what a day in her life as a content creator in Cuba looks like, earning over $100.
Her day begins in a room awash in pink—from her bedding to her pajamas and even her alarm clock. She then takes viewers through her morning routine, highlighting some of the products she endorses, along with her habit of consuming coconut oil on an empty stomach and her gummy vitamins.
"I made myself a delicious breakfast with a strawberry smoothie from my garden," she casually mentions while showcasing strawberries, scrambled eggs, and toast in the footage. She then demonstrates her workout routine using sophisticated gym equipment, showcases a promotional video job for which she earned $30, and another gig outside her home that paid her $100. Additionally, she flaunts her iPhone (likely a 13 Pro or 14 Pro judging by the camera layout), iPad, and the stands she uses for recording her content.
While some applaud her publicly shared lifestyle, others are skeptical and question how she can afford such luxuries in a place like Cuba. Comments include, "Is this a joke? That can't be in Cuba!" and "Are you the daughter of a government official or something?" Another user said, "Girl, are you adopting? I'm available!"
There are also critical remarks, such as, "These videos are ridiculous. You live in Cuba and try to portray a lifestyle like influencers from other countries. Maybe you can pull it off, but you're one in a million. That fairy tale life you live without working, all pink and aesthetic... that's not the life 99% of people in Cuba lead. Even when I lived in Cuba and was relatively well-off compared to others, I couldn't do it. And this isn't hate or envy; it's just that the world you show has nothing to do with reality."
In response, some comments defended her, pointing out, "Now they're saying she's the daughter of some official, that she doesn't live in Cuba. Come on, people, many of us know that in Cuba some live well while others don't. What does she have to do with that?"
