Beauty is nature, accepting ourselves and loving ourselves in our truest sense. When I was younger, I wanted to have pale and white skin like the Westerners because I thought that was the highest standard of beautiful skin.
As I grew older, I learned to love my brown skin. I learned to love my child-like face, my androgynous face, and body. I own it and that’s the true beauty I’ve found.
Oh many! Susanne kaufmann, Sulwhasoo, Emma Lewisham and Epicuren are probably my favourites.
“My hair has never been healthier. Plus it has no chemicals.”
“It’s just so refreshing and the smell is so romantic.”
“This will help your skin stay radiant and fresh. I have been using it for 10 years now.”
“If this cream is a food, it would be the most delicious cream in the world.”
“I got on the Suwhasoo train a bit late, but I now understand what the buzz is about. I no longer need to see my dermatologist.”
I use a soap shampoo from a local Berlin shop which I rub onto my wet hair in the shower. After I use a conditioner bar which I rub on while my hair is still damp. Then I also use my CBD oil base for hair.
My eyebrow pencil from Ilia. The brand also makes the most beautiful lip gross. I also love Baby Cheeks Blush Stick by Gucci Westman.
I believe in nutrition, water and a healthy mind.
For nutrition, I get food from small farms, that really care for the land and products. I also take supplements according to what my body needs. For instance, Vitamin D during winter is necessary, plus other antioxidant supplements.
For water, I try to drink as much as I can, and avoid plastic bottles. We are made of 70% water and our body is like a river, we constantly need to replenish ourselves.
For a healthy mind, I learn to be at peace and to channel my passions, and to not get angry from seeing the injustice in the world, instead of letting it consume me.
I love a good massage, yoga and Pilates to keep my back healthy to work in the kitchen.
You are what you eat.
In New York, London, Cayman Island or anywhere Ricari Studios exist, I get lymphatic massage as much as possible. This recent discovery is mind blowing and has changed everything. From my face to inner body.
In Berlin, I go to Lyn shop in Mitte and always get my hair cut from Dorothea.
I am also always a big fan of Thai massage anywhere in the world.
“It works like magic”
