TELL US A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF

Hi, I'm Bela! I'm a 3rd-year med student & I operate a small business, Colleción Lucita, on the side. I love everything & anything about food, self-care & travel.

DESCRIBE TO US YOUR IDEA OF A PERFECT WEEKEND

Something about being at the beach just calms me down - I forget about all my worries in an instant. And so if I were to have the perfect weekend it would be at the beach with either my family or friends having good conversations while enjoying a bottle of wine or two.

TAKE US ON YOUR TYPICAL WEEKEND. HOW DO YOU START YOUR SATURDAYS AND HOW DO YOU END YOUR SUNDAYS?

I always try to start my weekends right by immediately indulging in a little self-care, like writing in my gratitude journal & doing my morning skincare routine. I then plan my day ahead, just so I can be on top of everything as much as possible. I end my weekends preparing for whatever test/s I have the next day and of course I do my nighttime skincare routine before going to bed. The weekends are my only chance to unwind after a busy week of school so I try to make sure I am able to relax, even if it's just for a little while.

ANY INDOOR AND/OR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT YOU ENJOY MOST DURING YOUR OFF DAYS?

On my off days, I like to bake (only when I feel like it 😅) and watch Netflix. I also love hanging out and catching up with my cousins and boyfriend. Pre-pandemic though, our family would always eat out/have dinner parties and we'd frequent the beach too - I miss that and would love for that to be a thing again.

WHERE’S YOUR SECRET/UNDERRATED HANGOUT WEEKEND SPOT THAT YOU MISS VISITING?

I loooove going to Mati! My family & I would stay at our place in Dahican, which is by the beach and enjoy everything from the food to the beach itself. This is the place I envision when I think about having the perfect weekend.

HOW DOES WINK HELP YOU HAVE BETTER WEEKENDS?

Wink helps me have better weekends by making me feel more confident in my skin, not having to worry about unwanted body hair peeking through - especially when I spend my days at the beach.
