Beauty doesn’t demand attention. It lingers in stillness, in softness, in the way someone brings presence to what they do. That’s the kind of beauty Aina carries with her. Rooted in Mallorca, shaped by movement and creativity, she moves with a quiet confidence through the world, translating feeling into form, from dance to fashion to flowers. We spoke to Aina about her beliefs surrounding beauty and how they have shaped her creative expression. Read on to find out more about our community muse.   

There is quiet comfort in recognising that we are all, in some way, connected. That the emotions we carry, however private, are never singular. We are woven into something larger. We met with artist Anne Mei Poppe in her Amsterdam studio to discuss self-expression, connection, and what drives her to paint.  Read on to discover how her inner world comes to life through colour, form, and feeling.   

As the light lingers and the air warms, our skincare instincts often shift. The comforting layers of winter are replaced with a desire for lightness, and sometimes, that means people retire facial oils for the season. But when temperatures soar, UV exposure increases, and environmental stressors are at their peak, is this the right decision for your skin?  

We believe beauty begins long before it touches your skin. It starts at the source where soil, science, and sustainability meet. As Earth Day approaches, we wanted to take a moment to re-share our values.
