I find my personal style to be a combination of sensual femininity and high-fashion elegance - with a touch of sporty edge or a bit of a fun twist.
I always try to make sure I moisturise my skin, use sunscreen and drink lots of water, whatever season it may be. During winter, I pay extra attention to hydrating my skin, because of the cold weather, rain and wind, it can eventually takes its toll! To stay hydrated, I use my dad’s raw honey as a face mask every now and then. When summer arrives I try to be out in the sun as much as possible, while wearing sunscreen of course, and get all of that vitamin D. This is the perfect natural way to take care of your skin during summer.
Because my mom is a hairdresser I learned some things from her. In general I don't experiment with my hair too much and I don't wash it that often. Besides that, the best beauty advice I can give you is to never sleep with your make-up on, eat healthy, drink lots of water, extra moisturise your skin and always use sunscreen.
I like the fact that my mom is always looking for the next best thing. She knew about the benefits of goji berries and ginger, before it had been discovered by everyone else. Something that has been passed on by previous generations is ginger tea with lemon. This has always been used by older generations and is something traditionally Persian I think.
When my parents came to the Netherlands almost 30 years ago, my mom was studying to become a hairdresser. She was not pleased with the hair products available at the time and decided to make her own hair products. Because my dad has always been a passionate beekeeper, my mom knew about the health benefits of honey—it contains hundreds of vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants. She knew it was going to be the key ingredient for her products and she was adamant about keeping them free of parabens and sulphates. It took my mom years to develop her products. Now I wanted to share my favourite product with my followers, which is honey infused hair oil.
Next to having hundreds of vitamins and minerals, I really believe in my dad’s honey because it is also known to be a natural humectant. This means that it attracts and holds moisture, which revitalises your hair. The honey infused hair oil keeps my hair in great condition, because I can use it for multiple purposes on a daily basis. I use it after showering, before styling to take care of my hair, after styling to give my hair a healthy glow, and I mix it in with my hair masks to create a stronger effect so my hair feels incredible afterwards.

I try to keep a good balance between healthy eating and exercising. I get easily motivated when I see the results from my workouts such as Pilates or tennis. When I do not have enough time to go to the gym, I go for a run and get a boost from the beautiful natural environment or from a great workout playlist.
When I am back home the first thing I do in the morning is drink one glass of water and eat one teaspoon of honey. It is one of my father’s recommendations. In general, what I try to do is eat healthy, eat lots of vegetables, fruits, fish and pasta. I find it important that everything I eat is of nutritional value, but I also never want to deprive myself of food or eliminate things from my diet. I just know to eat everything in moderation.
I always try to get enough vitamins from nutrition, without taking extra vitamins and supplements. Whenever I am travelling or have a busy schedule and need to boost my immune system I take Propolis.
I think a healthy skin is solely dependent on good nutrition, hydration and sleep. Also, whenever I find a beauty product I’m satisfied with I try not switch to another one too often. Why fix what isn’t broken?
On a beach or when I’m with my family.
I think this would be my dad’s bee garden, because I’ve been spending time there since I was young and I have a lot of good memories from these moments.
I do yoga, boxing and take Pilates.
