Fashion Inspiration Julia is like this

How many tattoos does Julia have then? In this interview we talk about fashion, tattoos, travel and content creation. Fashion is Julia’s passion. She always looks great, so we asked her where she stores for her outfits and what accessory she can’t leave the house without. We also talked about Coachella, because everyone who is on Instagram or TikTok knows about the festival! But is it really worth it or is it just hype? And what does she actually love about her job and to what extent will it change in the next few years? These are exactly the questions Julia answers for us.

Julia’s favorites get under your skin

FIV: Hello dear Julia, we are glad that the interview worked out today. Then we want to start directly with the first question. On your social media channels you always show your tattoos. Which of your tattoos do you like the most? Do you perhaps already have another tattoo in planning?

JULIA: I have a total of 10 small tattoos and I love each one in its own way. But special for me are for example my two tattoos on the right arm, because I have stung in Thailand. Just as the two tattoos (palm & LA), since I have stung these in LA and the hibiscus flower from Ibiza. And of course the name of my dog Abbey!!! I love the idea of getting tattoos done in places that are special to me or have brought a memorable time. For this reason, my next tattoo is already in a few days, because I’m sitting right here in Cape Town and I love this city over everything. It will be the tattoo: 111 which means Trust and Intuition and the second small tattoo I still have to think about, but should have something to do with Cape Town.

Coachella: a vibe or just hype?

FIV: How nice that you can attribute meaning to each tattoo. You were at Coachella this year. Would you like to summarize your experience for us? Is it just hype or is it really worth it?

JULIA: Oh my God!! I still can’t believe I was there. It’s always been a dream of mine and when I watch the videos now, I get goosebumps. I can realize it better in the aftermath than in the moment, because that was so many impressions for me. I think it is EVERYWHERE worth it. I love creating the outfits, of course. You can really let loose without feeling overdressed. There you are not judged, it runs there everything from basic to completely crazy rum.
The positive vibe is just so much to feel and the backdrop alone, which looks like a movie screen by the way, is worth it. I also think it’s mega cool to see so many stars at once!!! Just seeing mega stars this year like Billi Eilish, Harry Styles, The Weekend and many more was so rad! When do you see so people times within 3 days?
Of course, it also makes a lot of difference with whom you are there. And since we were a big group, it was of course a lot of fun!

Fashion: affordable with expensive accessories

FIV: So definitely a vibe. It really makes everyone jealous! Fashion plays a big role for you on your social media channels. Where do you prefer to buy your outfits?

JULIA: Oh yes, that’s right! I have loved fashion since I was a little girl. I’m very variable when it comes to style, so I can’t say the style is exactly mine.
It’s the same for me with the stores. Basically I love it but expensive with affordable to combine, so I love Zara, Bershka, Pull&Bear, Cos, Reserved and really much more haha. Really can’t make up my mind. But I think Zara is already my favorite. … and exactly these outfits I like to combine with designer accessories, such as shoes, bags and glasses.

Accessory Must Haves: Bag & Sunglasses

FIV: Since you’re mentioning expensive accessories, what accessory can’t you leave the house without?

JULIA: Bag and sunglasses!!! Enhances any outfit and is also, I would say times, very practical haha.

Content Creation: Passion as a Profession

FIV: Now we’d like to talk a bit about your job in content creation in general. What do you love about your job as a content creator?

JULIA: I love so much about it and am incredibly grateful to be able to call this passion my job. I still don’t realize that sometimes. Having worked as a model before, I really appreciate how good and open my working relationship is with my management. They are like friends and family and employers at the same time. I didn’t know that before. Also, I think it’s great that brands book you because they like you as a person and character and also appreciate what you present on your channel. I really enjoy living out my passion for fashion and inspiring thousands of people with my lifestyle every day. In addition, through this job you have the opportunity to help others, no matter on what topic related, just as you can draw attention to important things that concern you. I’m incredibly grateful for my community and the positive feedback I receive on a daily basis. I am so happy when I can help someone, inspire or just have a positive thought a day through me and my content. Another very important point is that it gives me the opportunity to experience so many unforgettable moments that I could hardly dream of before. I get to meet so many great people and places that inspire me and move me forward in life as a person. I could list a thousand more things haha, believe me.

Changes of the job in the next years

FIV: How do you think your job will change in the next few years?

JULIA: I think it will all become much more “crass” and professional. Of course, I hope it won’t change for the worse, but I can’t imagine that.
I just think you always have to be open to changing or adapting things.

Social media: Instagram, TikTok or YouTube?

FIV: You are a content creator on various platforms. Which platform do you enjoy the most and why?

JULIA: I’m on Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube. However, I’m not really active on the last two. Would love to expand both though. I would love to upload vlogs of travels, make up tutorials and cooking videos on YouTube. Have also already practiced a bit and maybe what comes from Cape Town and the safari online.
I currently enjoy Instagram the most, because I’m just in the “game” and I love the combination of pictures, short videos, etc.. I think it’s a mix of aesthetics and yet a lot of personal, I like that!

Favorite travel destinations: LA, Cape Town, Iceland, …

FIV: You’ve traveled a lot because of your job. What has been your favorite destination so far and why?

JULIA: Puhhhh… that is very difficult. I love, as already mentioned with the tattoo, Cape Town, because the city or the environment is just magical for me. It is, I think, one of the most beautiful places I have been to. (Second time here now) LA/Coachella was a dream come true for me, but definitely Iceland as well. When I heard I got to go there with one of my clients, I almost lost it. It was just unbelievable. This nature that I was allowed to see there and as a crowning glory the northern lights, was already something very special.

Julia’s Must “Do and See” Hotspots in South Africa

FIV: From your current favorite travel destination, can you tell us hotspots that our readers should definitely know about?

JULIA: In South Africa, I can definitely recommend going on safari, preferably in Kruger National Park. In Cape Town you have to visit Clifton/Camps Bay and watch the sunset. Hike on Lionshead and drive up Table Mountain. Going to the wine region to eat and drink wine. Horse riding at Long Beach. Visit the Penguin Beach in Simons Town. Visit Cape Point or the Cape of Good Hope. Attend a concert at the Botanical Garden. Drive Chapmans Peak Drive and and and.

Typical Julia: animals, justice & fun

FIV: Last but not least, we’d like to get to know you a little better. What is so typical of Julia?

JULIA: When I ask my family, boyfriends, girlfriends, they always say that I am a very open, positive person and that I infect others with my happy charisma. I am very compassionate and an absolute animal person. I love animals more than anything and I stand up for them. Above all, I stand very much for justice and am a really loyal person because of it. They also said I’m definitely a family man, but in need of harmony hehe. I’m almost always in a good mood, fun and laughter definitely can not be missing, often I also have my 5 minutes / crazy times haha.

FIV: Thanks again for your time and the great interview! We wish you all the best on your way!

Everyday life as a content creator

In this interview Caro talks to us about the foundation of her own brand Ninety-9, which she built up together with her father. Among other things, she tells us about her personal favorite piece of her own brand and her personal biggest success in her social media career. Bags are Caro’s hobby, so to speak, so we asked her which bag is still missing in her collection. She also tells us what her everyday life is like in general. Because with social media, Ninety-9, her podcast with Sonny Loops and many other projects, her everyday life is full. How she manages all that and gets it under one hat, she reveals here in this interview.

• Caro’s Instagram
• Caros TikTok

Caro’s own brand: Ninety-9

FIV: Hello dear Caro, how nice that it worked out with the interview today! Let’s start with the first question. Two years ago you founded your own brand Ninety-9 with your father. Would you like to tell us about your experience of starting your own business at such a young age?

Caro: It’s still a challenge every day. I couldn’t have done it all without my father. It’s important and great to have someone at your side who already has experience when it comes to starting a business. Every day there are different tasks and hurdles that come up and that we have to overcome and master together. Together, we can always look for a suitable solution and then implement it accordingly.

Caro’s favorites from Ninety-9: Bikinis

FIV: It’s always good when you’re not alone in such situations. What is your personal favorite Ninety-9 piece?

Caro: Definitely our bikinis and something that is now launching: our signature tops and dresses with super soft fabric and very everyday cuts.

Every day is always different

FIV: Besides your brand, you have many projects going on at the same time like social media, your podcast with Sonny Loops and a lot more. So you always have a lot going on, what does a typical day look like for you?

Caro: I get up at just before 7 and get ready for sports at 8. After that I go home again, shower and get ready for the day and then the first daily call starts. Then I go out with Skei and feed her afterwards. I make my to do lists every day and look at what’s coming up for the day, like collaborations, YouTube videos or TikToks and whether I’m working from home or going to the office. I then work through this list throughout the day. But you can say that every day is actually always different. In the evening, I like to end the day with my boyfriend on the couch, we order food or cook something and watch a series.

Own discipline: To Do lists & goals

FIV: Many projects require a lot of discipline. Do you have any tips for our readers on how to increase their own discipline?

Caro: Create to-do lists and set realistic goals. Because when you have achieved this goal, even if it is only a small thing or an intermediate goal, this triggers happiness hormones and motivates for the next day and the next goal. You can also write yourself little notes with reminders for everyday life and hang them up in the bathroom, for example, and regularly remind yourself of this positive energy.

Pussy talk together with Sonny Loops

FIV: As mentioned before, you have your podcast together with Sonny Loops and since you just have so many projects, we would be interested to know what inspired you to record your own podcast back then?

Caro: I wanted to do a podcast for quite a long time before Pussytalk, but I never really knew how to start and was pretty busy with other projects at the same time. Then Sonny approached me with the idea of a joint podcast and that’s how the whole thing came about. We can share the work so well.

Louis Vuitton Vintage Bag

FIV: You recently bought a new dream bag from Hermès. Is there another bag you’re dying to get at some point?

Caro: I am currently super happy with my bag collection. On my list is still a Louis Vuitton vintage bag, because I also like to buy very second hand. Here I am already longer on the search, because the model is no longer produced and the price and the condition should of course also fit.

Caro’s greatest success: Ninety-9

FIV: For you personally, what has been your biggest success in your social media career so far?

Caro: The biggest success was, among other things, Ninety9 and that I was able to make this project big together with my dad or launch it at all. Another milestone and dream was the invitation from Dior to the South of France.

“Trust your inner voice”

FIV: If you could meet your former self, what would you want to say to yourself?

Caro: Always listen to your gut feeling and trust your inner voice. You know the right way and should follow it.

Future Projects: Sneak Peaks

FIV: Do you have any projects coming up maybe and you could give our readers a little sneak peak exclusively?

Caro: There are still some new projects coming up and one of them doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with social media. It’s going into other areas as well. I hope I can tell you more soon!

FIV: Thank you very much for your time and the great interview. I wish you a lot of success on your way!

A lot has happened since GNTM

FIV: Hello dear Elisa, how nice that it worked out with the interview today! Since the new season of Germanys’s Next Topmodel this year, you have remained in our and many people’s memory and your Instagram profile is also growing. Your super outgoing nature has taken you far and you even made it into the Top 10 Models 2021! Some time has passed since the end of the season, how are you doing right now? What has happened to you since your time on GNTM?

Elisa: Thank you, I am also happy that it worked out! In the meantime, some time has passed and I was able to review my time during GNTM. Of course, it is a journey that you go through with yourself and that you grow in many ways. I was able to completely restructure myself professionally and got many new opportunities that were previously almost unthinkable for which I am very grateful today!

Germany’s next Topmodel as a jump start

FIV: GNTM must have been a good start for your life as a model. You made your own experiences there with the model business and it was certainly not always easy! Still, you stuck it out for so long and showed everyone what you could do. Were there ups and downs that you remember fondly and would you participate in the show again at your current level?

Elisa: Absolutely! Especially with my current level of knowledge I would participate every time anew in GNTM again and again. With GNTM I associate basically only positive apart from the hygiene in the bathroom, that was a scandal in itself

Be perfect to be successful as a model?

FIV: For many, the modeling business is daunting, full of Photoshop and perfectionism. You are a very natural model and also dare to post pictures without much make up, which we find really great! Your pictures are the perfect mix of glam look and no makeup for us. We wonder, how big is the pressure to be always “perfect” in the business? How do you handle it best?

Elisa: I think to a certain extent there is a bit of perfectionism in all of us, especially professionally. And as in every profession, there are also times when you are stressed or feel pressured. But the most important thing is not to compare yourself in the “Instagram world” and to keep that in mind, which I do quite well.

Tips for young up and coming models

FIV: You were still young when you started modeling. Aside from GNTM, what advice would you give to other/ younger models to start their career or would you recommend GNTM as a career start? Do you have any tips that you can/ would like to give to younger models for their career?

Elisa: Especially for young models it is important to finish school! And not to compare yourself in any way with other models, because everyone individually has a very special type that is in demand in the respective model industry. However, you should get used to punctuality and a certain structure early on.

Planning is the be-all and end-all in the model business

FIV: As a model, you should be flexible and open to new countries. You have to travel a lot when your job requires it. On your Instagram profile you are also busy posting about vacations and trips, the pictures make you want to get on the next plane! Can you balance that well with your boyfriend who is a soccer player, do you find time to go traveling as a couple as well? What places you’ve been to or would like to go to inspire you the most? Do you have a favorite place and recommendations for our readers?

Elisa: I’m so happy that my Instagram feed is so well received and inspiring! Organization is for us the A & O in a relationship and I’m very happy that we come there so on a denominator! Especially because I am relatively flexible in terms of time and can manage my own time well, I can plan super when and how long I can be with him in Denmark. Vacation trips are not yet planned, but if we create it temporally always in his summer or winter break.

Elisa’s favorite travel destination is …

My favorite place so far is and remains Mallorca, I grew up there and always feel at home where I can come to rest and completely switch off.

Skin care tips for a clear skin

FIV: When traveling, besides the beautiful aspects, it can also be stressful at times. Especially through stress, the skin can suffer. You also talk openly on your Instagram profile about your experiences with acne and know a lot about the subject. When do you feel most comfortable in your skin and do you have your top beauty tips for our readers, for a beautiful skin ect.?

Elisa: Unfortunately, feeling comfortable with blemished skin is difficult for a lot of people these days.

FIV: It is known that only creams do not make the skin healthy. They can support, but the real beauty comes from within. Are you on a special diet that you have to follow as a model or do you exercise regularly? Do you have a tip you can give us about health?

Elisa’s skin care routine and favorite products

Elisa: Most women have blemished skin because they only remove their makeup with a makeup remover and use an oily night cream, because they think it does something. Wrong! The right care with the right ingredients makes it in the end: Good care in the morning and evening in combination with chemical peels, niacinamide serums, vitamin C, AHA & BHA are key. My secret tip: Zinc ointment – It relieves the inflammation in the pimple and works wonders.

Lifestyle tips from Elisa

FIV: As a model, you certainly have to show a lot of discipline and perseverance, but you certainly also have cheat days when you would prefer to do nothing at all. What is your recipe against listlessness, how do you motivate yourself to pursue your dreams?

Elisa: I am not on a special diet. I love to go jogging in nature and have a healthy lifestyle, but that has actually always been the case and doesn’t come overnight. But I also like to snack from time to time or eat fast food – it’s the amount that makes it in the end! Tips on the subject of health: A lot of exercise and enough water, so I always see an improvement in my skin.

This is Elisa’s model role model

FIV: Speaking of discipline, many top models prove it to us again and again. With your posts, you inspire many people who follow you and enjoy watching your content. But let’s be honest, everyone needs inspiration or a role model to follow, whether it’s fashion, health or lifestyle topics. Do you have a role model, whether it’s a model, celebrity or influencer that you like to follow or are you your own role model?

Elisa: Elsa Hosk is an absolute icon for me. She had an amazing career as a Victoria Secret model. I’m still at the beginning, but my dream is to be very successful at some point.

Lifestyle tips: The body needs rest

Elisa: There have to be cheat days and you shouldn’t always be too strict with yourself and cancel them. A day offline is good for each of us and is also human, because the body needs rest. In order to get back on track, a beauty day usually helps me on my offline days, where I take care of myself completely.

Is Elisa migrating soon?

FIV: Finally, a short look into the future, we are curious what you have planned in the near future: Do you have big plans like a move or something similar or is there something special coming up? Give us a little teaser of what your fans and followers can look forward to in the near future!

Elisa: In the next few weeks I will first stay in Denmark with my boyfriend and work from there. In addition, I am relatively fresh in my model agency and and look forward to the first jobs.

Fashion shows: About You and Partner Days

Esprit’s collections are also laid on the catwalk to admire, such as at About You Fashion Week. In 2019, Esprit, in collaboration with A&A Qualitainment GbmbH, has even organized its own fashion show.

Fashion Show: About You

This year’s About You fashion show is themed “Freedom of Identity” and shows modern clothing that does not conform to any stereotypical gender norms. The message behind the show is that everyone should wear whatever they want and what suits their personality. Esprit is one of many brands presenting their collection at the show. Check out the stunning show now, which will be opened by Heidi Klum’s model daughter Leni Klum.

Fashion show: Partner Days

The models are beaming as they walk down the catwalk, which is something you’re not used to seeing in a fashion show. It is also special that several models can be seen on the catwalk at the same time and sometimes make dance-like movements. This shows very well that Esprit stands for lightness. The concept of the fashion show may be atypical, but fits very well Spirit of Esprit.

Commercials: “Reimagine Life” and “Reconnect

Like many other fashion brands, Esprit wants to become more environmentally friendly and sustainable. For example, 40% of its materials already come from sustainable sources, and Esprit also wants to be as climate-neutral as possible when sending pieces via its online store. The brand’s environmentally conscious spirit is also expressed in its latest commercials.

Campaign: “For the joy of positive living”.

The stars are Spanish actor and model Andrés Velencoso and German model Anna Schürrle. Andrés Velencoso was in front of the camera together with singer Jennifer Lopez for a Louis Vuitton campaign in 2003. He and Anna Schürrle are shown in this video beaming and in a good mood on the beach while wearing the sustainable collection. “Appreciate everything that makes you feel good. From the clothes you wear to the way you live your life,” the video reads. A great statement.

“Reconnect”: “Let’s Reconnect & Feel The Nature”.

The fall collection is inspired by Esprit’s love of nature with the aim to combine innovation and comfort as well as sustainability and style. This is exactly what is expressed very well in this commercial. “Let’s find joy in the nature around us,” it says, and the models in the video deliver exactly that message. They enjoy the sun’s rays while lying in the meadow and the fresh autumn breeze while rocking. Esprit’s cozy collection also simply invites you to take a nice autumn walk.

Sportswear: Esprit Sport

Esprit also designs great sportswear. The following commercial for the new Esprit Sport collection shows many young women of different skin colors and body types doing sports. They are just having fun together while trying different sports, including basketball and jumping rope. Esprit stands for freedom and feeling good that everyone can wear what they want. Esprit makes women from all over the world feel good.

Home accessories: Esprit Home

In addition to clothing and accessories, Esprit has its own “Home” line, which sells home textiles, furniture, lamps and wallpaper. So Esprit can cover all the important areas of life. You feel good all around in Esprit. You can check out the springtime Esprit Home campaign “Romantic Botanics” here. For the design of the featured wallpapers, pastel and delicate tones were used, for example white, pale blue and salmon pink. Just as delicate are the floral patterns, which were used to decorate the collection.

Collaboration: Esprit x OC

Esprit has already collaborated several times with the American brand “Opening Ceremony” and designed a collection. Just as Esprit pays attention to sustainability, Opening Ceremony deals with global problems. The collection shows the wild and young side of Esprit. Leopard prints and wild plaid patterns adorn each piece as if they were transported from the 80s and 90s to our time. “…This is Esprit by Opening Ceremony going off to college.” is how designer Humberto Leon describes the collaboration.

Social media inspiration: Wisdm & Harry Styles

FIV: It’s easy to tell from your Instagram feed that you’re into fashion and you also express yourself through different styles, what makes a good outfit for you?

Nic: What makes a good outfit for me is that the colours match, it’s comfortable and above all that you feel good in it. You don’t need brand-name clothes for that. I also buy a lot of second hand and then enhance my outfit with accessories. I also think it’s cool when I can inspire people with my outfits, so everyone should be able to afford it.

FIV: You always like to occupy yourself with the things you particularly enjoy and thus come across many different impressions, who or what inspires you along the way in your style? And who is your biggest role model?

Nic: I get most of my inspiration from my Explore page on Instagram. I always see a lot of men’s fashion there. Otherwise I also get a lot of inspiration from Wisdm and Harry Styles.

Nic’s tips for your perfect outfit

FIV: When you get ready in the morning and stand in front of your closet, what are the three fashion essentials you always find there and what makes them so special?

Nic: The first thing I never miss are rings. They make an outfit complete for me, without them the details are missing. I also always wear my watch. I got it from my father when I moved out of home, so I associate a lot with the watch. And perfume also makes a lot of difference to me and is simply part of an outfit.

FIV: On TikTok, trends are set every day by you and others. Are there any current or older trends (in fashion, on TikTok in general, etc) that you think were particularly cool or terrible?

Nic: Basically I think everyone can wear what they want, as long as you feel comfortable. I myself wear a lot of vintage and I would also call myself an e-boy and I think the trend is cool. If I had to name trends now that I find terrible, I would say “Wellensteyn” jackets. Also this “Deutschrap” style is not really mine, because I don’t like it.
…not very individual.

FIV: The situation of being so successful on social media is very special and especially something unimaginable for most others your age, what do you like most about what you do?

Nic: What I like most is that it’s still my biggest hobby, even though I do it every day. I like my life now so much better than my life before as a computer science student. I just feel very comfortable and in good hands in the fashion scene.

TikTok: More than just an app

FIV: You must experience a lot of crazy things with all the opportunities that come your way in your career. What moment in your career so far has left the biggest impression on you and why?

Nic: This is definitely the Milan Fashion Show I got to be at with BOSS this year. I’ve always wanted to go to a fashion show but never thought it was possible. Suddenly sitting in the front row with other influencers like Caro Daur and Leonie was an incredible feeling. For me it was and is very special.

FIV: It’s clear that you experience many exciting things, but of course they don’t always take place in the same city and sometimes not even in the same country. Are you on the road a lot thanks to TikTok, if so how do you deal with having a constantly changing environment?

Nic: Due to the Corona Pandemic I don’t get to travel much anymore, of course. But I love to travel, to get to know new people and cultures. I am a very open person and being on the road is just fun. I’m also looking forward to when that will be possible again.

Nic’s Personality, Follower DM’s & Co.

FIV: On the Internet, of course, you only ever see what you reveal about yourself. Most of the time it’s only the particularly positive things that make a person, but what is your worst quality?

Nic: I’m already on my mobile phone a lot, which is of course also work-related, but I still want to change that. I know that it’s unhealthy, but it’s just a lot of fun to be in contact with my community.

FIV: When you are really down because something went wrong in your everyday life or you had a fight with someone, what cheers you up?

Nic: In fact, the DM’s from my followers or posts from fanpages always cheer me up too. Generally the support of my community. No matter how bad my day goes, they always manage to cheer me up again.

FIV: Finally, one last question, of course everyone has wishes and dreams in life, what do you wish for your future?

Nic: I wish to be able to travel again and thereby get to know new people and cultures. Therefore, it is even more important that we all deal responsibly with the current situation and stick to the measures so that things get back to the way they were as soon as possible.

“I’m very persistent” – Fatas success at GNTM

FIV: In 2016 you took part in the TV show Germany’s Next Topmodel. You even made it to the top 3! And would be interested in when your interest in modeling has developed and what finally moved you to participate in the show?

Fata: That was quite a long time ago when I knew: I want to model. When I look at photos from the past, you could already tell by the poses that I wanted to be in the media industry – I wanted to be in front of the camera, and preferably in front of a huge audience. Maybe it was also because I was bullied for years at school and didn’t want to be the fragile little grey mouse anymore.

FIV: Two years ago you already tried your luck on the show. But there you only made it to the top 20. The fact that you wanted to try your luck again underlines your joy in modeling very much! How did it come about that you applied for the show again 2 years later?

Fata: I unfortunately didn’t get a visa for the US the first time I attended, as I only had my Bosnian passport at the time. Then I applied for my German passport and it finally arrived 1.5 years later! So I immediately went to the casting again and was rejected for the first time. However, Heidi personally came to Berlin again to cast more girls and so I went again. I was very persistent! Since the first season I wanted to take part in this whole experience, so I stayed on.

FIV: Many young girls and boys also want to realize their dream as a model. Also, every year many new young people want to apply to the show. Looking back, what are your best tips that you can give to all model enthusiasts regarding the application for GNTM?

Fata: Make an effort! Practice, practice, practice! Keep pushing – you only have this one chance! That’s my advice! So many girls want to get on the show and when you do, you have to work your ass off. It’s a great stepping stone.

Social media, sports & travel: This is Fata’s everyday life as an influencer

FIV: Well, four years after your success on GNTM, you’ve achieved a lot! You have your own Youtube channel where you upload weekly videos, your own podcast Fataland and you live in Dubai. Your followers like you especially for your humorous and open nature, which you bring out on your social media channels and in the podcast! What do you like most about being a public figure and what are you most proud of?

Fata: I’m proud that I get messages every day about how happy people are and that I can put a smile on their faces through my videos. I think anyone can be beautiful on social media, but to be able to carry people along and be honest, open and down to earth is something I pride myself on. I’ve been the same since day 1 and thankfully never had a high.

FIV: Social media can take a lot of time! Managing an Instagram and YouTube account, as well as your own podcast is not as easy as it seems. Do you have any other pursuits besides your job as a blogger? How do you like to spend your free time?

Fata: I try to balance my free time and my job. That means I film my very normal life. So the work never stops – I really film from morning to night – like a reality TV show. An absolutely private insight into my life. In my free time I like to go to the beach, play volleyball, go camping and try to be outside a lot.

Moving to Dubai & travel tips for unforgettable trips

FIV: Together with your boyfriend you moved to Dubai a few months ago. What was the reason for your move there and what do you like most about the city? What is it like to live in such a big modern metropolis and what do you think are the biggest differences compared to Germany?

Fata: I was born and raised in Berlin, which is also a big metropolis for me. Therefore, big city life was not a problem for us. However, I needed good weather and distance from Berlin. Dubai is incredible! Incredibly nice people, permanent sun, good service, beach, sea and freedom. I am very happy here and needed the distance from Berlin.

FIV: Travel, Beauty and Fashion: These are your topics! You love to travel around the world and discover new places. What has been your favorite travel destination so far and do you have some travel tips for our readers? We would also like to know who you prefer to travel with, alone or in company?

Fata: I love travelling with Izi – he is my partner and best friend. He is uncomplicated and open to everything. We can also enjoy the peace and quiet together. Sometimes it doesn’t take many words to be happy. You have to go to Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The most beautiful trips I’ve ever had so far.

FIV: Finally, we would like to hear from you what your absolute career highlight has been over the last few years?

Fata: My absolute highlight was my emigration – I’m so happy to be able to work from anywhere and take my community with me. I am so grateful to be so free.

• FIV Issue #7

• Instagram: Bookonin
• Blog: Book on Luxury

FIV: Hi Naomi, you are a wonderful London-based luxury, travel, fashion and lifestyle founder. But how did you develop an interest in each of these categories?

Naomi: I’ve worked in travel and PR for over 20 years so it’s always been a part of me! I’m a very creative person who sewed and made things from a young age and like most people naturally have an interest in fashion and all things feminine, lifestyle and beauty like everyone else before Instagram flicking through the fashion magazines.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2rvJMlP7X/

How to build a meaningful social media?

FIV: In just a few short years, you’ve built sponsorships with luxury travel brands, traveled all over the world, and built a significant social media following. What’s your secret?

Naomi: It wasn’t just a few years ago. I started working with various Greek properties, Sailing Resorts and the Greek Tourism Board 10 years ago, mainly with Face Book Pages and writing blogs for the various outlets. I started the account on Instagram as soon as it opened to share that content, but at that point the focus was mainly on Facebook. I had already built a strong following on my Facebook page. I was lucky enough to get some advice from the owner of one of the biggest advertising agencies in Israel who suggested what I did, the name for me was a “social influencer”, this was about 5 years ago, and I should focus more on Instagram in the future. So I did….. Of course I was working full time for the Daily Mail and General Trust Group, so my travel was just within my annual leave, so my content up until 2017 was all about those trips and weekends and day trips or restaurants. I started exploring areas on my feed from my country and also shared other places I visited. Very quickly, hotels and tour operators and tourism boards contacted me to post on my feed. I wanted to share the world as I see it, I wanted each photo to make you feel like you could be the person standing there….

https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSiL4wlIdG/

FIV: If we were to sum up your feed universe in one word, it would be this: paradise. What’s your favorite of all your Instagram account posts? And where do you get your inspiration from?

Naomi: Of course like everyone I see on Instagram and Pinterest that give me inspo, but I stay away from recreating it. It’s hard not to take a photo in the same spot when it gives you the best vantage point, but you won’t find Mr. in the same dress and hairstyle completely imitating someone else. Honestly, when I arrive, I move around and take lots of photos, I see what works…. I know what areas a hotel wants to highlight, the room, the social spaces like the pool, the food in the spa, so I work to create content around those areas for food and stories. When you see the camera roll, you know that’s what I want to share with my audience.

Usually there has to be a centerpiece, whether it’s an amazing view, a beautiful platter of food, there has to be something that makes someone think I have to visit this place, it’s an experience for me!

Top most popular luxury travel destinations

FIV: You’re part of the Top 8 Luxury Travel Instagram Page of 2017, out of all the places you’ve been around the world, what are your top 5 favorite luxury travel destinations?

Naomi: For luxury;

• Santorini & Mýkonos in Greece
• Seychelles
• Maldives
• Dubai
• Abu Dhabi

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAIDECFXux/

FIV: Naomi, you have more than 750,000 followers today. What is the biggest challenge for you to be an influencer?

Naomi: Working in travel is very short notice, my paid jobs can come in 1 week to 4 weeks before so it’s hard for me to plan anything outside of 4 weeks which is difficult when travel needs to be planned and trying to plan and chat with clients when you’re on a trip with another client can be exhausting (which is why many travel influencers only get a few hours of sleep a night when they’re on the job).

You can’t guarantee what income will come in each month unless you have a monthly brand ambassador partnership and if you get paid (brands withholding money for 6 months, agencies closing so they don’t get paid at all) it’s the same as anyone working independently, you don’t have a guaranteed income and all the work from negotiation, offers going on and producing the work, to finishing talking to your audience and then invoicing, it’s all on you!

The trolls are obviously something everyone just has to deal with, it’s part of the job! I’ve had times where it’s gotten so bad and some of them are professionals who know how to get into you, then they can contact anyone who sends emails to your customers who send a lot of spam to your account if you don’t give them a response. But after some time you have to try, I know it’s hard, but really try not to respond.

Influencer tips: sponsored content, branded messaging, feed inspiration and followers.

FIV: As influencers and businesswomen, how do you decide which brands to work with and how do you make sure your followers are open to sponsored content?

Naomi: I promote Luxury Travel, so it’s all Luxury Travel, aside from the fact that it’s everything I use. You’ve probably heard every influencer say I only promote things that I think are authentic, and then you see 20 watches, 20 granola bars, different phone apps going down the list, on their page.

For me, there will be mote fashion collabs, anything that I wear and use obviously, like swimwear and travel products and of course all beauty and lifestyle products. The question you have to ask is if your only audience was your mother, would you sell this to her?

FIV: You have an unreadable feed! How do you make sure branded messaging is a good fit for your feed?

Naomi: I’ve always tried to do it my way! I lose a lot of paying jobs or get offered money if I change my image and I just say no. If it’s not a good fit for me, then we’re just not a good fit. Brand partnerships always work well when the brand lets the influencer share their take on how the product is presented and used. No one knows their audience better than the influencer, but the influencer and the brand also need to see if that audience is someone who wants to listen. This is where a brand should know that this is the wrong influencer for my product and also an influencer should not take the job because the product has no relevance to you or your audience.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BtW2jNKlK4V/

Must have list to go on a trip

FIV: As a traveler, how do you organize your trips? And what is your must have list to go on a trip?

Naomi: A lot of them are very short notice. Nowadays, most of my trips are because someone, a hotel, an airline, a travel PR, a tourism board has contacted me and they want to work with me and then it’s a standard negotiation of dates, services, itineraries and so on, which also coincides with all the other brand work that I have to shoot on location.

I take all the standard stuff like everyone else, all my gear, cameras, chargers, etc, all the name brand shooting products, toiletries, clothes, but outside of that I always take a huge blanket when I’m on the plane! I fly a lot, too much, and it’s just something to help me sleep (like a comfort blanket from home and I can use it to wrap up if you’re going to a destination where it’s hot, but then there are those cold nights, I’ve been on a lot of flights and even with the little blanket that gives you I was freezing, so I always have my warm blanket with me in my carry-on!

Yoga for beginners: Heavy exercises made easy

Oh, it can’t be that hard! A saying that is often made about yoga – and is not at all justified. There is hardly a sport that is more strenuous than yoga and at the same time so good for our body. Nevertheless Yoga is a perfect sport for beginners. Mine can adapt yoga very well to his own needs and thus continuously increase and improve.

Relaxation, power workout or meditation? Yoga has it all!

No sport is as varied as yoga. Whether you want to work out or find your inner center, yoga definitely has something for you. You can do all yoga exercises at home or in groups in the gym. No other sport can be so well adapted to your lifestyle as yoga.

The Flow Yoga: Exercises for inner peace

Ashtanga, Vinyasa or Flow Yoga is a yoga style that combines breathing and movement, the focus is on precise alignment of the body positions. The individual positions are performed as slowly as possible and held for a long time. The transitions into the different asanas (=positions) are flowing. This yoga direction relaxes the mind and lets you switch off – while doing something good for the body at the same time.

Power Yoga: The workout for those who want to really put their foot down

Power Yoga is consciously about finding and reaching your own limits. So you really start sweating and there is no silent meditation like in Flow Yoga. The combination of body-conscious movements and the classic effects of a workout is perfect for anyone who wants to work up a sweat, but at the same time wants to do something for flexibility and balance.

5-minute yoga: Perfect for the evening, morning & in between

If you don’t have time for 50 minutes of workout a day, 5 or 10 minutes of yoga is perfect for you. These short yoga sessions are also good as a morning or evening routine, in addition to the daily workout. Whether you want to set a power or flow focus or just improve or expand certain positions is up to you.

Men’s yoga? Sure – easy exercises even for the immobile

Yoga has a reputation as a typical sport for women. In most yoga classes there are therefore more women than men. One reason for this is that yoga is marketed as a sport for women and one rather does not seek contact with such “women’s stuff”. However, access to the spiritual aspects may be more difficult for men than for women. However, these do not necessarily have to be a part of yoga, as in power yoga for example. Yoga is also more than suitable for typical male desires such as strength and muscle building. Meanwhile there are also courses only for men. There are no excuses or wishes left open!

Real Yoga stars: Miley Cyrus, Meghan Markle and Alessandra Ambrosio do it before

Yoga is not only very popular with us, but also with the stars. Celebrities such as Alessandra Ambrosio, Meghan Markle or Demi Moore love to practice the sport. Who can definitely practice a little more? Jimmy Fallon! The host of the Tonight Show gets a much needed yoga lesson from singer Miley Cyrus…

Tips for meditation: Very simple methods to cope with stress & inner peace

Much in life is a question of structure and organization. This is also the case with meditation. Before we can start, we have to do a few things in order to be able to complete a successful mediation.

Basics quickly explained: suitable place, comfortable posture & Co.

The question of the location is a decisive one. The place should have a calming effect on you and not stress you out. At best, you should look for a place that is quiet and with few people, since this allows you to concentrate fully on the mediation exercises. It would be advantageous if you could meditate at the same place over and over again, as this trains your brain so that you automatically associate this place with relaxation. However, the most important thing is that you feel safe and secure in this place.

The question about the right clothing is very quick and easy to answer: it should be comfortable and you should feel comfortable in it. At the same time, this means that you are not disturbed and therefore distracted by a top that is too tight or an uncomfortable belt.

Distractions like the mobile phone, loud music, the television, the laptop or similar are poison for a successful meditation.

Guided, free meditation for beginners: Instructions & exercises

You have decided that you want to start a mediation, but you do not know exactly how to start. Fortunately there are an incredible number of free meditations on YouTube where you can easily join in! These are already divided into beginners and advanced meditations.

5-minute meditation for deep relaxation

Five minutes is really not long. You should keep this in mind when you think you don’t have time for meditation! Drop by!

Why breathing is crucial: self-love and mindfulness

The correct breathing is crucial in meditation. The following video shows you how to do this best!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmFUDkj1Aq0

Meditation at any time of day: When is the best time for meditation?

As beginners we do not know when is the best time for us to meditate. Since every person has different preferences and is also differently productive, it is not possible to say in general when is the perfect time for you to meditate. Our tip is: Try out different times and note down after each meditation session what your impressions were. After a certain period of time, you will know when is the most suitable time for you.

Meditation in the morning after getting up

Start the day properly with a meditation. Now you know that you do not need much time to do a meditation. Build a seven minute meditation in your morning routine and notice what it starts with. Do you notice a difference or do you need more time?

Meditation in the evening for inner peace and stress management

Try to meditate in the evening. Maybe you will find that you can end your evening very well with a meditation and end your day better.

This is how the stars do it: Russell Brand and Taraji P. Henson show how it’s done!

Which celebrities actually meditate and how do they do it? Many people ask themselves this question, including us. We found out that the actors Russell Brand and the actress Taraji P. Henson like to meditate very much.

The best, free workouts without equipment for home: From beginners to professionals

There are a lot of advantages to a workout at home. You can flexibly decide when you and what you want to train. So you are not bound to opening hours that you have to follow your daily schedule. So if it’s not jumping workouts where you might disturb your fellow men from below, you can do your fitness program at any time of the day or night. And you don’t have to wait at any machines because people are already using them.

Train your entire body: Here it depends on the inner bastard

The most important thing you need is discipline. You need to keep at it and motivate yourself every day. Even if it is hard, you should always have your goal in mind. If you want to train your whole body, here is a total body workout in 30 minutes. Sascha Huber will train the whole body with you step by step, so that you feel every part of your body after 30 minutes. As motivation you can see the relatively short time span in which you can very productively exhaust your whole body.

Training sessions: What productive workouts are there for at home that are easy to do without equipment?

Sixpack Workout: Reach your goal without equipment

If you want to focus more on training your abdominal muscles, you can follow this eight-minute abdominal workout. It shows how you can quickly and efficiently train the region of the abdomen without the need for any additional equipment. Join in and hold out. If you think about how fast eight minutes can be done, this should be motivation and incentive enough.

Back training: An accentuated back can be delightful

A good musculature in the back is decisive for a very good overall fitness. So if you want to focus on your back in one day, you can do so easily and, above all, quickly. Again, you don’t need anything except a portion of discipline and motivation. The back training shows you how to train the upper back, the latissimus (large back muscle), the back shoulder and the trapezius muscle (muscles on both sides of the spine) with six exercises and again without any equipment. Targeted back training not only strengthens the back, but has a positive effect on the entire body. Always remember that the body is a coherent organism, whose elements should be trained immediately.

Exercises for strong legs: Anyone can do it!

The legs are still missing at the end of the exercise. After all, they are part of our body too, right? They carry us wherever we want, so we should train them too to make them even stronger. Sometimes you only need a pole to lean on or a chair to support. So you have no reason not to go through this workout with four exercises.

This is how the stars train: Henry Cavill, Chris Hemsworth & Co.

How do the stars actually train? Do they have other workouts than we do? Have a look at what we found. From Henry Cavill, Chris Hemsworth to Tom Ellis.

Henry Cavill
