We can observe many bloggers and influencers in social media, but what is behind the luxurious, incredible pictures. We decided to ask one of the most beautiful Instagram models and bloggers Elvira Engel (@_elviravi), to tell more about her life behind Instagram.
About living in Monaco
Monaco is a great place to live. First of all, it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Secondly, during the whole year the weather is amazing. As even in the winter it’s sunny and not cold. And the last but not least it’s one of the safest places to live in.
About entertainments in Monaco
Monaco hosts global events like Grand Prix Monte-Carlo, tennis tournaments, Yacht shows and music festivals. You will always find something to do here. There are many delicious restaurants and fashion bars. You could spend the day on a yacht, or you could have fun at the beach club, relax at the spa or by the pool. There are many beautiful restaurants with good cuisine to have lunch or dinner at. Also we have the world’s famous Casino Monte Carlo here. Even if you are not a gambling person, I would recommend to visit this magnificent, historical building and try your luck. If you like nightlife, there are nice dancing clubs and bars out here. So believe me, you will never get bored!
About another favorite places
Every winter I fly to Asia for at least a month, to explore new places and to visit my already my favorite ones. This is usually the trip I’m most excited about. As when you arrive in Asia, you not only explore a new continent, country or city, but you explore a completely new culture, which is so different from the western part of the world. I love to start my trip from China, Hong-Kong and from there to go to other beautiful places, that Asia is so rich of. One of my favorites are: Bali, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Talking about a favorite place in Europe, I would definitely recommend to visit Capri. It’s an island that stole my heart. This is a place I would love to visit over and over again. It’s a very beautiful and romantic island. Perfect for couples, but also friends and family. The island has its own vibe and charm that I cannot compare to any other places. It’s just impossible not to fall in love with it.
About languages
I always had a love for foreign languages. I absolutely agree with the saying “When you learn a new language, you learn a new mentality and a new culture”.
When I was a child I could speak Russian, Dutch and English. Those are the languages, that I grew up with. After I learned French. In my opinion it’s one of the most beautiful languages, a true “language of love”. Next one on my list will be German.
About the first steps in Instagram blog
I started my Instagram account just to connect with my friends, but at some point people all around the world started to follow me. I never was doing anything special for it, I was just posting new pictures. Now I receive a lot of messages from girls all around the world, asking me about my beauty secrets, my style and just in general asking me to tell more about myself and my life. I’m always happy to answer and to give some helpful advice. There are many bloggers out there that like to share their whole life and all their ups and down. But I’m more of a person who likes to bring joy and beauty to my page and to keep my personal life for myself.
About beautiful women
All women are beautiful. I believe that there are no standards to beauty. This is something that is constantly changing. If we look at the paintings of hundreds years ago, we will see a whole different beauty standards back then. In my opinion a beautiful woman is a woman with a beautiful soul, heart and mind. Any outside beauty will pass with ages, but our inside beauty will stay with us forever. For me, a beautiful woman is not a set of external factors, but primarily beauty that comes from within.
About beauty secrets
I can’t say, that there is a beauty philosophy that changed my life. But I truly believe that “We are what we eat”. I love healthy food and I’ve been a vegetarian almost my whole life. I really believe that healthy lifestyle has a positive impact on the quality of our skin and the aging process overall. Of course, as every woman, I like beauty products and I love to pamper myself at the cosmetologist. But even the best cosmetologist would tell me that the outside beauty starts with a healthy body. As I’m not a fan of injections, recently I started to do face gymnastics, and I could really see the results already. I like to prevent the aging by doing as much as possible by face gymnastics, good skin care and healthy lifestyle.
