Wish I was there 😍 This is one of my favorite places to hike in Mauritius 🌿

Resort ‘21 “L’île Sauvage” is launching next week! It’s a tricky time for resort brands as obviously people are travelling a lot less- nevertheless i am excited to share the new collection with you all very soon and hope you will love it as much as I loved designing it 🖤

I like to decorate my home with objects that make me happy. For my bookshelves I have mixed B&W pictures with sculptures and pieces of art found on travels or at antique fairs around the world.

Monday Mantra: Stay determined, focused and inspired 🤍

In my book you will discover stories about my background and growing up in Mauritius, healthy recipes to feel your best with a Mauritian twist, entertaining ideas around family & island style, feel good wellbeing tips and of course beautiful pictures from this special Island I’m lucky enough to call home. Link in bio if you are interested to learn more ☺️ (picture was obviously taken during the summer) @rizzolibooks

Living a sustainable life is very meaningful to me. Preserved flowers are a beautiful touch to any home. While not being overpowering, they create an uncomplicated yet charming atmosphere 😍 I like to use them around the house, on bookshelves, against the wall on a table, anywhere really! These last for a year or more 🤍

Flying into Monday 😂 Benefits of stretching: 1. Stretching can improve posture, tight muscles can cause your posture to suffer. 2. Stretching can improve range of motion and prevents physical problems with getting older. 3. Stretching can decrease back pain. 4. Stretching can help prevent injury. 5. Stretching can decrease and help with muscle soreness. I’m quite flexible but do have tight hips so stretching always makes me feel like a new person, what’s your biggest problem area? Do you feel like you stretch enough?

Excited to be launching Resort 21 soon 🤍 it’s called « l’île sauvage » It’s a moodier collection as I was inspired by the dark volcanic rocks in #Mauritius. I’m so lucky to do what I love, I’m so enjoying the creative process of brainstorming inspiration for new collections #ComingSoon !

I chose these long willow catkins stems to create a fall atmosphere in my home. It’s also great because I don’t need to water them and purchase flowers weekly! I love it as it creates a bit of an art piece but at the same time it’s quite discreet. What do you think? 🤍
