The book on my bedside table is… 

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.

A luxury I can’t live without…

Uninterrupted sleep. Nothing compares!

Who or what is the love of your life...

My family. They are my constant, my chaos, and my comfort.

The three words that describe me best are…

Driven, warm, and intuitive.

I feel most inspired when…

Travelling (even when barely sleeping) and walking 20K steps without complaining.

The best piece of advice I’ve ever
received is… 

There are so many. Maybe this one resonates the most – if it drains you, it’s not worth it.

The three beauty products I can’t live without… 

Only three? Brow mascara, tinted lip balm, and a rosy blush. Oh, and a hand cream.

The best album of all time...

A blend of rock classics I grew up with, mixed with contemporary tracks I love today. Say Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and Coldplay.

My favourite pair of shoes…

Other than my gym shoes, a simple classic and perfect for any occasion pumps.

The trend I’ll never forget is…

The low rise jeans in the early ’20s and how they made our bodies disproportional, yet we loved them. Not to be repeated.

My go-to coffee order…

Hot coconut latte.

The podcast I never miss is…

The Goop Podcast. I love Gwyneth – her calm energy and her way of mixing wellness, life, and honesty.

My signature scent is…

White musk.

My style icon is…

Any woman who owns her identity.

In another life, I would be…

A writer or a painter. Living fully in my imagination.

The best item in my wardrobe is… 

My capsule collection with Rouba Moukadem. Every piece is special and a staple in my wardrobe.

My favourite place in the world is… 

By the sea.

My hero is..

My mum and dad. They are the reason I know how to stay soft in a hard world! Their strength and softness still guide me every day.
