Ans, wearing Isabella, can always be found on her bicycle. She recently relocated back to the Netherlands from London and is redefining herself once again. She has a new job as a tourism advisor. She meets lots of entrepreneurs and is doing her best to support them during the Covid 19 crisis.

FAVOURITE LOCAL HANGOUT?  

Moving back we discovered a lot of new places. “Groenwoud” is my new favourite for drinks, lunch and dinner. Mostly because they are super child and dog friendly but still serve good food.

SECRET WEAPON? 

My bicycle. It’s good for the environment, my health and it’s a great way to get around.

CURRENT BIGGEST CHALLENGE?

To settle back in my home country. It is very familiar but very different all at the same time. Or maybe now I’m different. Still figuring it out.

WHAT WOMAN INSPIRES YOU?

My friends, all of them inspire me in one way or another.

Kelly-anne, wearing Sienn, is an actress, model and American mom living in SW London. She always has a smile and an amazing outlook on every situation.

FAVOURITE LOCAL HANGOUT?  

The Northcote Road-there is a wonderful choice of local restaurants and boutiques. Now that the road is pedestrianised on the weekends, it feels like a mini festival.

SECRET WEAPON? 

The Hawaiian practice of Ho’opononpono. There are few things that cannot be solved by saying “I love you”, “Thank you”, “I’m sorry”, and “I forgive you.”

CURRENT BIGGEST CHALLENGE?

Toddler proofing my house. I was hoping instilling a knowledge of household danger would allow us to avoid the ugly foam edging and baby gates. Despite being aware of the danger as she imitates me shaking her pointer finger and acknowledging “no, no no”, Bella then proceeds to laugh and do it anyway!

WHAT WOMAN INSPIRES YOU?

My mom. As a kid, she dreamt of being a teacher and worked multiple jobs to pay for her education. She retired from teaching when my brother and I were adolescents, but returned at age 58 adjusting to new teaching approaches and technology with courses at Columbia University. She is a living example that you are never too old to reinvent yourself or continue living your dream.
