“Just because it’s taking time, does not mean it’s not happening” ✨🤍

I sometimes live anxiously waiting for my dreams to come true. But nothing is instant. It all takes time.

If I can leave you with something today, I leave you with this: your mindset will influence your future. Be kind to yourself 🫶🏻

For some people, shopping is an active experience. You go to a store only to buy a product you need.

I’m a researcher, I almost never buy by impulse. I do my research, go to stores to see different options and, sometimes, to just walk and have fun ☺️

Here are some of stores I love to visit:

This is the starting point of ’s perfume: a memory, a moment that ignited a feeling. Using scent, she recreated that memory into this perfume.

Who better to work with Joana than the team, very knowledgeable with perfumes, niche products and excellence.

Thank you very much Joana and the NMA team for the invite to attend the launch of your perfume, and for such a beautiful gift 💛

Surprise surprise, today's look is similar to my everyday style 😅! Time to take inspiration from , , and .andre.fernandes!

Sunny days can't come soon enough! 🌞 Ready to break out of my shell.

“It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong.

You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining.

You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be a part of the sisterhood.

But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line.

It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.

I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don’t even know.”

I make America Ferrara’s words my own. She said it best. Congratulations on being an incredible woman. You deserve praise today, tomorrow, every day ♥️
