What I love about equestrian competitions, apart from the involvement of beautiful horses, is the fact that is one of the few World competitions where there is not a separation from men and women competitors. I learned this pretty early on when I started riding and the feminist in me was very pleased. 

I traveled to Verona this month to attend the final of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup happening during the Verona Fiera Cavalli. This event brings together the best jumpers from around the World. Jumping is run over the course of five days, and each round is more exciting than the last. But due to my travels, I could just be there for the final round and what an exciting day it was.

Thanks to Longines for having me. 

Vineyards, animals and relaxing spa moments is the perfect mix for holiday away from city-life in my book. Les Sources de Caudalie, which is located in the middle of the Château Smith Haut Lafitte vineyards in Bordeaux France, is the ultimate location for a weekend away from everything. And it can't be an all-encompassing French experience without the culinary exploration of the region's best food. The choices are different from each other with the country inn, La Table du Lavoir for lunch with a typical country cuisine, happy hour at the wine and tapas bar, ROUGE and dinner at the two-Michelin starred La Grand’Vigne for the ultimate culinary exploration, all of this while tasting the three wines on produced by the property. 

If the name of the resort looks familiar it is because you might already know the French beauty brand Caudalie, and have for sure tried their cult product the Beauty Elixir, which was inspired by the Youth Elixir of the Queen of Hungary in the 16th century. Like many of their other products, it uses grape as a base and here where it all connects. 

Mathilde Thomas, the founder of Caudalie, is the daughter of pro-skiers Daniel and Florence Cathiard, who bought a 14th-century vineyard called Château Smith Haut Lafitte back in the 90s. That’s where Mathilde originally found her inspiration to start the skincare brand Caudalie and where, her sister  Alice Tourbier, opened Les Sources de Caudalie.

Designed by Dior perfumer François Demachy, JOY by Dior is a warm floral fragrance

"JOY by Dior expresses the remarkable feeling of joy through an interpretation of light. This perfume resembles certain pointillist paintings that are rich with a precise, yet not too obvious, technique. This perfume is constructed in a similar manner thanks to multiple nuances and myriad facets, which lead to a crystal-clear fragrance expression." -says —François Demachy,  “It seems limpid but with a structure that conceals an invisible labyrinth, a pixilated ensemble like a pointillist painting, clear and precise. This is an olfactory interpretation of light that bursts forth, a fragrance that you don’t explain, you simply feel it.”

JOY by Dior Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Zested Bergamot and Mandarin


• Heart Notes: Rose Grasse absolute and jasmine blend with cassis and peach.


• Base Notes: Warm and creamy sandalwood and powdery musks

The search for the perfect foundation seems like a never-ending story. But finally with over 55 shades and a comprehensive guide on how to color match I've found my perfect foundation. The Esteé Lauder Double Wear had been around forever with its medium-to-full coverage, and famous among those looking for a transfer-resistant, oil-free and oil-controlling product. 

With this latest project Double Wear becomes Double Where, exploring the duality of people as a parallel to the duality of the foundation and how the concept of beauty can't be limited by borders. This is also a way to show how more than 50 shades make it for every one of us, whatever the background and whatever the skin tone can find out perfect shade.

Double Wear is Double Where. Telling my story of duality as an Albanian and Italian, because the concept of beauty can’t be limited by boarders. // La mia storia è il racconto di una nuova generazione di donne che come me vivono una dualità tra il paese dove sono nate e il paese dove sono diventate donne. Tutte diverse, tutte uniche, perché la bellezza non è un concetto che può essere limitato da confini. #doublewear #makeup #esteelauder #ad

How to find your perfect foundation shade? 

Step 1: Choose your skin’s intensity level from light to deep. Personally, I was looking in the light to medium range so I tried numbers 2, 3 and 4. My skin tone was actually on the range of shade 2, but my body is a shade 3. I decided to match my skin to my body given that after exfoliation, sunscreen use and other whitening treatments my face is always a shade brighter than my body. My perfect match would be to even out the face to the rest of the body. 

Step 2: Choose your skin's undertone from Cool, Neutral or Warm 

How to determine your undertone?  

Undertone is the way your bare skin looks and behaves. Which one sounds most like you?

• Cool (C) undertones: Bare skin has a rosy tone and burns easily in the sun.


• Neutral (N) undertones: Bare skin is more even toned, not too pink or golden.


• Warm (W) undertones: Bare skin has a golden or olive tone and tans easily in the sun.
