”Ever since I was a young girl, I loved making natural beauty treatments. I would also day dream about traveling the world and visiting other cultures. Later, when I became a fashion model and TV host, taking care of my appearance was a required part of the job. Through my work, I have been so fortunate to have traveled around the world and been exposed to many different cultures. It was amazing to learn the beauty and wellness secrets of each region. I often spent a few days at a local spa to unwind and gain insights into ancient and indigenous beauty treatments, then go home and create recipes based on my experience. I hope you read my book so you, too, can experience these wonderful treatments from across the globe.”
