Let me introduce you to…Marianna

I first met Marianna Romanelli on a flight to Bora Bora for a job few years ago.

We got to share one of those amazing cottages over the ocean, not that calming and beautiful in a storm by the way. She was probably part of one of my craziest ever jobs and I’m sure we will always remember and laugh about it, but that’s a whole other post…

She is the sweetest person you could ever meet and if you’re in the bad mood, she’ll help you snap out of it in 30 seconds, maybe even 10! She laughs constantly and is extremely positive, just the type of person you always want to be around. She’s also the most eco friendly person I know and somehow makes you want to emulate her in that.

She is originally from Brazil, in case her beauty doesn’t make it obvious, she now lives in Paris, though to my delight she spends a lot of time in New York & London.

I asked her a few questions about modeling, health and for some tips on her favorite places:

London Baby!

I’ve just landed back in London, yuppie! So weather please be good or else! I already miss NYC of course, so typical…

I’ll be back there soon just in time for fashion week, but I am in LONDON NOW and I’ll be bringing you a little bit more about my London favorites…

What is really on my mind though are NYC’s one and only ‘flying cockroaches’… I hope they’ll keep away from my wardrobe while I am not there. You’re hearing right, flying cockroaches, they are too huge and disgusting to be flies and can’t be real cockroaches because they attack you while flying. I really don’t know what they are, but they’re definitely to watch out for when you’re in NYC! Beware!

I have my family coming tomorrow, so exciting, it’s their first ever trip to London.

Off I go, no time for blogging, lots of cooking, unpacking and preparations to do!

Oh and I have a lot to tell you about my most recent NYC finds, most of all I got to meet so many inspiring people in the last couple of months that I have to introduce you to!

So keep comin’!

Brush until you blush!

Dry body brushing is becoming a very popular and quite a common practice. You hear about it everywhere, but what does it really mean?

Skin, your largest organ, already does a great job of reducing any unwanted body waste, dry body brushing however, boosts your blood circulation and therefore helps with the elimination process, the body’s lymphatic drainage. Not only does it improve the appearance of your skin, the gentle exfoliating will obviously help as well (oh yes we like that!), most importantly though, it will improve your blood circulation and your immune system.

You know those pricy lymphatic massages? Well, you’ve just found a great way to do them at home by yourself! Who wouldn’t want to be super healthy with bump free skin!

I’ve been dry brushing every morning (or so) for a little over a year now and I have to say I love it in a ‘can’t live without it’ kind of way. Not only do I see the difference in problem areas (all us girls know what I am talking about), it also feels great. It feels like I give myself a quick massage each morning. I also make sure I reach my back properly,  the area that’s usually tough to reach. You’ll feel tingles coming from your back that will completely awaken and energize you.

My skin looks healthier, smoother and has that glow, even if I do say so myself…
