What’s your lifestyle?
Adaptable, romantic, intuitive
My lifestyle can be described as a mix of both urban and bohemian.
Living in a fast paced city, under continuous waves of growth brings a lot of excitement, adding the idea of personal progress and material development.
In the same time I will always remain faithful to the spiritual and emotional nature of life, being an art lover and enjoying traveling.
What is beauty for you?
One of my favorite definitions of beauty belongs to Hume: “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty. One person may even perceive deformity, where another is sensible of beauty; and every individual ought to acquiesce in his own sentiment, without pretending to regulate those of others. “
I would say that beauty is accepting who we truly are, embracing our inner self and constantly seeking to improve our best qualities like kindness, empathy, loving and the joy for life.
Which EADV Scarab jewelry do you wear ?
My first jewelry piece from EADV Scarab is one pair of earrings, the “Khepri Pearl" . The pair combines the purity and elegance of the white pearls with the beauty and fragility of the scarab wings
What does the EADV scarab mean to you?
All the EADV jewelry bring a touch of uniqueness and femininity to all of my outfits. The earrings I often wear are not a simple silent décor, but a statement.
What feeling is awakened in you when you wear our beetle wings jewelry ?
Every time I wear my scarab earrings I feel empowered, desirable and confident.
Who is your favorite historical figure?
Cleopatra is the first historical figure that comes to my mind. She was much more than the famous beauty her simplistic portraits often display. A formidable, politically strong monarch, she was directly involved in the running of a kingdom that faced challenges on many fronts.
What is your beauty ritual?
The self care has a huge impact and power on both the mind and body. A good skin routine is essential to keep your skin healthy and glowing throughout the years. I follow the basic beauty steps every morning and evening before going to bed: deep cleaning, hydrating, nourishing and renewing my skin while playing some relaxing and peaceful music and burning some of my favorite candles.
What gives you strength?
Strength comes from within, from my faith and beliefs, from my family. I enjoy tracking progress in all aspects of my life and celebrating each small step forward.
What is your greatest source of inspiration?
Inspiration can come in many forms: books, art, nature, a person you meet at your local coffee shop, children or history.
I find myself often inspired by acts of courage, kindness, creativity and discovery.

Yesterday you said, tomorrow. Just do it! ~ Nike
Deal with it, don’t dwell on it! ~ Eveline
What’s your lifestyle?
I have a copious appetite for living intentionally and cherishing wholeheartedly everything that comes my way so I can respond to life's events with grace and curiosity. This calls for awareness and continuous effort of being in the 'IS' aka being present while minimizing distractions (as numerous as they may be). This is important because its enabling power to develop and nurture meaningful relationships (professional or personal), successfully complete work projects, and simply live life! Maneuvering a career in corporate America, caregiving for family, coupled with pursuing passions can feel depleting at times, so living intentionally is always at the forefront of my modus operandi
What is beauty for you?
Beauty is emanated through the energy you exude. What you emanate is what you attract, which is way more beautiful and long lived than anything tangible.
Which EADV Scarab jewelry do you wear ?
My jewelry piece from EADV Scarab is one pair of earrings, the “Cleopatra Scarab"
What does the EADV scarab mean to you?
Whimsical confidence embellished with romantic, luscious and powerful energy. Wearing it invites empowering vibes no other jewelry showcases so easily and effortlessly!
What feeling is awakened in you when you wear our Scarab Beetle beetle wings jewelry jewelry?
A sense of limitless and otherworldly pleasure, femininity, and grace.
Who is your favorite historical figure?
Audrey Hepburn - as she embodied character and being traits I admire and joyously incorporate in my everyday. Audrey’s poised demeanor, entrancing personality and inquisitive energy were palpable through the big screen and I absolutely love that she unapologetically and beyond confidently exuded with so much femininity. That’s powerful!
What is your beauty ritual?
My beauty ritual gravitates around proper nutrition, daily movement, lot of water and a healthy portion is laughter with friends and family - whose energy I cherish so dearly!
What gives you strength?
My family and my life aspirations! I love life and I’m having fun dating me! :) Living a life with intent while romanticizing it in ways that resonate with my values, fuels my fire!
What is your greatest source of inspiration?
This wonderful piece of land, full of magical energy and people whose values are less about the tangible and more about the intangible aka Hawaii. It truly is a magical place, if you choose to explore it and see it for what it to truly is. Besides, its lush mountains are quite reminiscent of the lovely EADV.

Motto:
"It’s time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet”- Marcus Aurelius
“I cannot escape death, but at least I can escape the fear of it” – Epictetus
What’s your lifestyle?
My lifestyle is a balance between adventure and introspection. I travel extensively for work, which allows me to meet and connect with a diverse array of remarkable people, constantly building and nurturing both new and long-standing relationships. Yet, amidst this whirlwind, I find deep solace in returning home, where I take the time to reconnect with myself, recharge, and reflect. My intuition is my compass, guiding me through every decision, and I strive to live with intention, ensuring that I don’t just go through life but truly experience and savor every moment to its fullest
In the same time I will always remain faithful to the spiritual and emotional nature of life, being an art lover and enjoying traveling.
What is beauty for you?
For me, beauty is a multifaceted concept that transcends the surface. It's not just about physical appearance or aesthetics; it's the radiance that shines from within – the beauty of a soul that's kind, authentic, and full of love. It's seen in the way fashion and jewelry allow us to express who we are, in the magic of travel that opens our eyes to new cultures, perspectives, and landscapes, and in the simple, yet profound moments of everyday life. Ultimately, beauty is about seeing the world through a lens of curiosity and compassion, finding inspiration in the different experiences, stories, and emotions that make up the human journey. \
Which EADV Scarab jewelry do you wear ?
I wear the Cleopatra from the EADV Scarab collection. Cleopatra is known for her captivating beauty, intelligence, and her ability to command power with grace and strength. She was a woman who embraced her individuality, ruled with wisdom, and lived a life full of passion and purpose, as I want to believe, I am as well.
What feeling is awakened in you when you wear our beetle wings jewelry ?
Wearing the Cleopatra piece resonates with me as it symbolizes empowerment, confidence, and the timeless allure of a woman who knows her worth and isn't afraid to embrace it
Who is your favorite historical figure?
I resonate with the Stoics, like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus. The Stoic philosophy is about embracing life’s challenges with resilience and finding peace in accepting what we cannot control. It teaches the importance of inner strength, virtue, and focusing on our own responses rather than external events. It's a timeless reminder to live with intention, face adversity with grace, and find wisdom in every moment.
What is your beauty ritual?
My beauty ritual goes beyond skincare; it's a holistic approach that nurtures both my physical and spiritual well-being. I believe in taking care of my body with love and intention, but I also prioritize my inner world. Whenever I feel emotionally charged, I cleanse my space and energy with palo santo and various bundles of miraculous herbs, allowing their soothing properties to calm my emotions and restore my balance. This ritual helps me feel grounded, reconnected, and aligned with my true self, radiating beauty from the inside out.
What gives you strength?
What gives me strength is my ever-growing desire to become a better version of myself every day. It's the commitment to live life to its fullest, to appreciate every blessing that comes my way, and to be fully present in everything I do. This mindset fuels my resilience, keeps me grounded, and helps me navigate life's journey with purpose and gratitude.
What is your greatest source of inspiration?
I have a deep desire to create and contribute to the world around me. While there are moments when I feel powerless in the face of the world's challenges and injustices, I also find incredible strength in knowing that my small actions can make a difference. Every effort, no matter how small, carries the potential to spark change and bring positivity. It's this balance of vulnerability and power that drives me to give back and leave a meaningful mark on the world.
