Meet Sam Selby

As I was going through the Malta Fashion Week Programme of Events, I found myself googling Sam Selby who will be presenting her Sirena Jewellery Collection on Monday 16th May. I vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned her to me already but I had to find out more about her.

You have to trust me when I tell you that I'm a zilch-believer in coincidences and twists of fate, but the minute I start lurking on Sam's facebook profile page I receive a facebook message from her congratulating me on my nomination. We kind of hit it off immediately, because she's a chatterbox like myself and sounds like the bubbly but modest type. I make a mental note that I need to meet her and get to know her a bit better because something tells me that there's more to know about Sam than the 'awesome jewellery designer' descriptions I'm reading online.

- Contentment, inspiration and fulfilment are found when you visualize and bring you dreams to a reality.  Never give up. -

Sam Selby is the brains behind a number of uniquely hand-crafted jewellery pieces "crafted to be nurturing and symbolic to the individual". Sam explains how choosing a stone goes beyond the stone's aesthetic; it's also about the rediscovery of the earth's natural treasures and how they affect us as humans. I hear that Sam's BoboStar collection was a hit and the minute I see photos of these pieces I can immediately understand why (some pictures below). 

Looks like what started as a hobby has turned into a business for Sam and she's never looked back. From the random short messages we've been exchanging every day, I know that Sam's determination and bouncy personality will take her places. I love how she's blunt but not brutal throughout our conversations, and it somehow feels like I've known her for ages. These strong traits are also reflected in her pieces, but I will be telling you more about these (and her new collection!) in a separate post. So yeah, watch this space.

Despite being no makeup expert, I've grown to love the world of cosmetics. And 'love' is probably an understatement. It's like going mad each time I discover new beauty products and learn new makeup tips. Most of all, I love going into pharmacies and spend ages swatching highlighters, blushers and lippies and exit with a colourful painting on my hand :)

A number of you lovely people, who share my same passion for makeup, have

In a recent post I mentioned how I only packed my holy grail products on my trip to Cuba, naturally due to the problem of an overweight luggage (travelling light is something I'm not good at; I try but boy, it's an impossible task for me. Anyway, should I ever manage to travel light, I'll be sure to let you know). Since I knew that Cuba can be ultra hot and dry in March, I made sure to pack a good sunscreen with a high SPF and a serum-milk to keep my skin

Strada Stretta may have temporarily stopped making our hearts skip a beat on Monday evenings, but it takes a lot of time (if ever) to forget about the great people behind this TV Drama. I've already given you my bit about two male actors from this production and it was high time I wrote something about my favourite Strada Stretta
