Crans-Montana Switzerland

Last week I got a nice opportunity to spend my holidays once again in Switzerland. It was my second visit, last summer was the first time. What a beautiful and magical place.

Last sumer it was very hot, everything green and full of flowers.
This time it was very different. When we arrived, I felt as if I stepped into a fairytale. Everything was white, clean, all surrounding looked magical. It was a really great and romantic holidays.  


Crans Montana is one of the most beautiful winter and summer resorts in Switzerland. 
It is a charming small Swiss village with lovely chalets and breathtaking view. Everything is in walking distance, which I think is very cute. Crans-Montana is one of Switzerland's big, world-famous ski resorts. It is a great ski resort with sunshine, quality of the slopes and not too crowded. While skiing, you have an impressive view on the Mont Blanc. 
I didn't know how to ski, but I had an amazing instructor who was extremely patient with me and helped me overcome my fear of heights.
I look forward to skiing with him again.
The best part is that now I can say ... Skiing is fabulous :-)

How to described Switzerland in the winter?

Introducing Male Model ''Jean Morgan Gentile''

Last year just before the Christmas I had a meeting with a fashion and beauty photographer Erick Seban Meyer (you can read more about Erick in here Erick Seban-Meyer - Photoshoot Collaboration ). When I arrived at the restaurant he waited for me at the table with a nice looking young man. I got to know his name is Jean Morgan Gentile and that he is a male model. We talked for a bit an then Erick showed me photos of Jean Morgan, he took a few days before. I though that I have to share them with you.

Jean Morgan has the look, the drive and the body. He certainly has a great potential to go far in the modeling industry. I'm sure we will hear about him more in the future. He is already represented by Celine Model Agency
Well done Jean Morgan!

Are you dreaming of becoming a model?
Keep in mind modeling is a very competitive business and it is not easy to break into. Getting some professional photos taken beforehand will make you look professional. Don't just get your photo taken by someone with a cheap camera. Work with photographers that will benefit and grow your portfolio. Make sure that you have a standard headshot and multiple full body shots.
Give it a try with some agencies and see what happens.

Remember:
You are the only one in control of your career and your image. Be confident and go after what you want. Don't give up, because dreams do come true, if you believe in them.

Valentine's Day, the perfect excuse to eat chocolate

St. Valentine's day is coming soon, are you ready?  
Shop windows on our street are already full of chocolate goodies.
For me, Valentine's Day is a great excuse to eat lots of wonderful chocolate. One of my favorite chocolate is Lindt. 
Some might say is not healthy, but did you know it has some health benefits?
It's mainly dark chocolate that has the most health benefits, but milk and white in moderation are good for you too.
I already wrote one post about the health benefits of chocolate and here is a little reminder:

Chocolate benefits:
1.) Chocolate is good for the soul.
2.) Chocolate makes us feel good.
3.) It melts in your mouth.
4.) Chocolate isn’t a food, it’s a medicine – an anti-depressant  :-)
5.) Contains antioxidants.
6.) More antioxidants are released when it's heated up.
7.) Antioxidants help prevent cancer, heart disease and aging.
8.) Drinking hot chocolate can help you think better, because the flavonoids increase the blood flow and oxygen to the brain.
9.) Hot chocolate can help older people keep their brains healthy, research has shown.
 
That's a good news, because being healthy has never been this easy or this delicious. 

But remember: Because of high levels of calories, saturated fat and sugar content ... dental problems and obesity are health risks. However, when eaten in moderate quantities, chocolate truly can be a miracle food.








   

Show the one you love how much you care and set a romantic mood for Valentine's day. 
Chocolate hearts have long been a main sign of Valentine's Day.
Yes, Valentine's chocolates and covered strawberries are the perfect romantic present. And of course the most important color for Valentine's day is red representing love.
 
Go for it and surprise your partner with a great box of chocolate!

I have this theory that chocolate slows down the aging process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?
