If you could move to any place in the world, what place would that be?
I absolutely love Dubai. It has the sun, sea and everything else I need to be happy. It gave me opportunities and encouragement to do what I love. So even if I could move somewhere else, I doubt I would. There could be more organic products here, but I am working on that!

What is the number one item on your wish list?
I'm a professional health nagger so I wish for future opportunities that allow me to keep growing my products and services portfolio within the health industry which I am so passionate about.

The biggest learning point or experience in your life.
Failure. And I have failed a few times, to be honest. But not only have they given me valuable lessons on how to succeed in the future, they have shown me how strong I am to be able to bounce back, keep dreaming big and keep going, no matter what.

If you won a million bucks tomorrow, what would you do with the money?
Well, that is a nice thought! I think I will go on a nice little shopping spree for myself. After that, I will continue to take risks and expand my passion by investing in other health-related endeavours. No drastic changes to my plans - it's just a lot easier to take risks with an extra million bucks lying around.

What advice would you give your younger self, if you could?
That junk food you eat and the unhealthy lifestyle you lead will eventually show up on your face and hips. When we are young, we feel invincible, so we often treat our bodies badly. So, my advice to my younger self would be to 'Stay away from those fries and have a green juice instead.  Make an investment in your health long before you start getting those endless Botox treatments'.

The most interesting app you've come across lately.
Recently I came across an app for palmistry. I wouldn't say it's a useful app per se, but I thought it was very cool.

If you could trade lives with one person - dead or alive - for an entire day, who would it be and why?
I would say Elon Musk. He has one of the most creative minds in terms of a sustainable future in the world right now and I think one day in his life would be extremely exciting and enlightening for me.

Favourite fictional character of all time - and why.
I have always been fascinated by Achilles from Homer's The Iliad, who is completely invincible except for one spot (his heel). It showed me that everyone has a weakness no matter how strong or tough they act. This was very helpful to me as a young woman in the business world, because it allowed me to understand that even industry giants have flaws.

The best thing you've ever bought yourself and why?
A plane ticket to Dubai! It changed my life and opened my eyes to what I am capable of: dreaming, acting on those dreams and achieving. It's a city where all dreams come true. Oh, and perhaps a nose job too. Best money ever spent.

If you could have your pick of superpowers, what would you choose and why?
I love this question! Where do I start? Firstly, I would love to be able to be a mind reader so nobody could pull a fast one on me! I would love to be able to fly so my travel expenses go down. Lastly, I would love X-ray vision to be able to see health issues of those around me (if any), so I could actually nag them with facts in hand and be taken a tad more seriously when doing
my thing.
