Random beauty⎪The gifts of life

Don't you just love receiving gifts, regardless of what kind or from whom? Gifts just prove that, somehow, people around you are grateful for having you in their life and take action to show it to you.

I personally feel blessed these days. The countdown to my birthday already started, and, I have to gladly say that for the first time in years, I'm actually looking forward to this new chapter in my own personal dreamlife journey.

How not to love life when life gives it back to you in trillions of joyful moments, loyal friendships, ideas in plethora, abundance and love, in all its shapes and forms?

Thanks to all of you who keep showing me love,
from the most humble to the most extravagant ways!

Future supermodel? I feel proud....

This is random.... granted, most of you do not know about what I do, did or going to do (job-wise).... 


A few years ago, as I was pregnant and pregnant with tons of ideas, I created an agency that promoted modeling as a career in a place where this concept seemed completely foreign. Out of that, came out the idea of getting the license to organize the contest of the prestigious world agency "Elite". Out of that, came out the discovery of great talents, and one particular beauty: Cynthia.


Today, I feel like a proud mommy as she is one of the girls who received most of the applause for the 10th year anniversary of Dakar Fashion Week. They did a (tiny) piece about her on the French magazine Paris Match. Check this out for yourself. Most of the time, it seems, she reminds people of a mix of Iman, Katoucha with Tyra Banks' forehead (yeahhh):
