Here’s the beauty quote that Katrina referenced at the end of her interview: “You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you… beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be. You can’t rely on how you look to sustain you. What actually sustains us is what’s fundamentally beautiful, is compassion -- for yourself and for those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul.”  - Lupita Nyong’o    Links and resources:   Download my free skincare guide: ‘A simple guide on nailing your Skincare Routine’ Follow me on Instagram: @mariannefidel For more about me, my work, check out my website.
