With over 3 million followers on Instagram, she is a reference in the marketing field and uses her social media platforms to talk about important topics such as feminism and racism. After the end of the reality show, Eslô's life changed completely. She is involved in many professional projects and tries to make the most of the opportunity that the program has given her. Eslô has a degree in Marketing and uses that formation in her current career, having a vision not only as an influencer but also of what companies propose when they want something to be promoted on her profile. Balancing her career with her personal life and her relationship with Lucas Bissoli is not easy, but communication and dialogue between the two help a lot. She has been through challenging moments in her career, such as the criticism she received in the beginning, but with the help of therapy and people who make her feel good, she managed to get back on track and focus on the good things she can provide to her audience. Check out now the exclusive interview we did with the Brazilian influencer. 1. How did you feel when you were chosen to participate in Big Brother Brasil 22? "So, it's very crazy because you think that you're never going to be the chosen one. There's that question: 'Why me?' But I think authenticity is the word. BBB today looks for authentic people who are themselves. I believe that I was myself in the interviews and on the show, and I think that's what makes BBB what it is." 2. How has your routine been since the end of the reality show? "It's been crazy, my life has changed. I try to make the most of everything. I have a lot of professional projects going on and I try to focus my energy on them. After all, the show gives you an opportunity and if you don't grab it, it goes unnoticed. I put all my energy into it, chasing everything I want for this moment." 3. You often use your social media to speak about important issues such as feminism and racism. How did this desire to take a stance on these topics come about? "My social media is literally my life. I like to share topics that I find important and relevant to my life, things that have marked my story. Not only topics, but all the content I share. I believe that the more your social media reflects your true self, the more people will follow you and want to stay engaged. Each person's truth makes them unique." 4. Besides your career as a digital influencer, you are also graduated in Marketing. How do you use this education in your current career? "Graduating in Marketing has helped me 100% in everything I do today. In fact, I started studying Marketing precisely for that: so that I could have a vision not only as an influencer, but also of what companies propose when they want something to be advertised on my profile." 5. Had you ever thought about pursuing a career as a model or beauty queen before winning Miss Pernambuco? "I never really thought about anything! Everything in my life happened naturally, I discovered things as I went along. Regarding the question of being a model and beauty queen, I believe that since I was a little girl, I always showed signs that I wanted that. So, time only made me develop and be sure that I wanted to enter the world of fashion and beauty pageants." 6. What are your professional plans for the future? "Besides wanting to establish myself more and more as an influencer, I have a lot of dreams. I want to be a reference as a fashion influencer and have my own company. I have many goals to be achieved." 7. What is it like to balance your career with your personal life and your relationship with Lucas Bissoli? "Balancing isn't always easy, but when the person wants to and has the desire to make it work, things start to flow. That's how it is with my career and personal life with Lucas. We have very good communication and dialogue, and that helps a lot." 8. What is your biggest dream as an artist and digital influencer? "I have several dreams. As an influencer, I want to become one of the biggest influencers with credibility, someone that people truly trust and look up to. I will fight very hard for this." 9. What was the most challenging moment of your career so far? How did you deal with it? "As incredible as it may seem, I didn't think it would affect me and be a challenge, but the criticisms at the beginning were very easy to deal with. Later on, they started affecting me a lot, but I managed to get back on track with a lot of help, therapy, and by being with people who make me feel good. The internet has something very good, but it also has something very negative. If you focus on that, you'll end up attracting more negativity. So, I try to really focus on the good things that I can provide to my audience and on what the internet can offer me." 10. What would you say to people who want to pursue a career similar to yours? What are the main skills and characteristics needed to succeed? "Undoubtedly, the main one is to persist. I believe there are several important characteristics for those who want to grow in this field, but persistence is the most fundamental."

Photo Greg Williams - DISCLOSURE The Maison Cartier is pleased to announce actress Elle Fanning as its latest Global Ambassador and the new face of the Grain de Café collection. To mark the beginning of her partnership with the Maison, Ms. Fanning will wear the Grain de Café collection this evening to New York’s exclusive Met Gala. The Grain de Café collection was first launched in 1938 by legendary Creative Director Jeanne Toussaint. It became an iconic collection of jewellery in the 1950s, during which time it was adopted by the newly-crowned Princess Grace of Monaco, adding further to its aura of glamour and sophistication in the global imagination. Deeply anchored in Cartier’s DNA and stylistic grammar; the shining goldwork of the creations is reminiscent of the Riviera sun and bathes its wearer in the same warm glow. Studded with diamonds or rubellite, it takes the pure shape of a coffee bean to make the ordinary precious. It seemed a natural fit that Elle Fanning would be chosen to become the face of this upcoming campaign inspired by the personality and talent of Grace Kelly, inextricably linked to the French Riviera and the golden age of cinema. « I am so proud to become Cartier’s Global Ambassador. The Grain de Café collection embodies so much of what makes Cartier’s style and savoir-faire unique; from exquisite goldwork to the precious transformation of an everyday object. It is an honour to become the face of a creation that brings together elegance, glamour and radiant femininity. » - Elle Fanning « To embody the beauty, heritage and sense of sunlight captured within the Grain de Café collection, we selected Elle Fanning for her talent, determination and range, which have allowed her to take on a variety of roles in the world of cinema. As our new Global Ambassador, she brings a luminous on-screen presence to the Grain de Café collection and campaign that recalls its most famous wearer, Princess Grace of Monaco. » - Arnaud Carrez, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer

Promotional photos On April 30th, the journalist, advertiser and public relations professional Giovanna Prates , better known as GiO ( @gio.prates ) to national and international celebrities, brought a new party concept directly from Beverly Hills to Curitiba. Her daughter Mariah Prates Minami celebrated her 12th birthday in great style! The hotel chosen by her was the Presidential Suite of the Grand Mercure Curitiba Rayon. The journalist, advertising professional, and public relations specialist Giovanna Prates, better known as GiO (@gio.prates) among national and international celebrities, brought a new party concept directly from Beverly Hills to Curitiba on April 30th. Her daughter Mariah celebrated her 12th birthday in style! The hotel chosen by her was the Presidential Suite of the Grand Mercure Curitiba Rayon. The first party of this kind was announced by Kendall Jenner (entrepreneur, TV personality, and top model, member of the Kardashian Family) in Los Angeles. The Presidential Suite of the Grand Mercure Curitiba Rayon has 101 square meters, finely decorated with a dining room that can accommodate up to 8 people, a living room with a spacious and comfortable sofa, a coffee table, large armchairs, and a chaise. It also features air conditioning, a guest bathroom, a work station, window protection, and sound insulation. The closet has robes and slippers with a coat of arms, a safe, a minibar with a variety of drinks and snacks, a Nespresso coffee maker, capsules, an electric kettle, and complimentary sachets. The bathroom features a whirlpool tub, a hairdryer, and special L'Occitane amenities. The bedroom has a king-size bed, an armchair, bedside lamps, and cable TV. An enjoyable and cozy atmosphere that appeals to everyone, of all ages. The celebration had about 18 guests, including 3 adults and the rest pre-teens from 11 to 13 years old. "At this age, family members have no idea what to do and how to celebrate this special and significant date for us. They are in a transition phase, from child to adult, where children's events are no longer interesting and adult events are not suitable for their age," says GIO, recounting the difficulty of finding the right and appropriate celebration for her daughter. "This celebration was undoubtedly a success! They gathered, talked, danced, and had fun in a different place, never celebrated before!" The party's decoration featured balloons from Balony Decor, which decorated the entire suite, from the living room to the bedroom, following the color scheme chosen by the birthday girl: lavender, silver, and purple. As it was held in a luxury 5-star hotel, moons and stars were part of the composition. The cake was decorated with glitter in the theme of the party, filled with stars and a prominent moon, and had a sweet milk and white brigadeiro flavor. The sweet treats, such as Ninho with Nutella, Churros, Belgian Brigadeiro, White Brigadeiro, Paçoca, 2 Loves, and Creme Brulé, were provided by BasketGift. The savory snacks were provided by Jerônimo Burger, who entertained the guests with crinkle-cut fries and delicious cheeseburgers with rosé sauce, mayonnaise, smash bun, selected meat, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato without agrotoxins, sourced directly from Fazenda Madero and Cozinha Central de Ponta Grossa. The support and pieces from Studio Festas brought charm and elegance to the table, along with the acrylic plaque with LED lights, superimposed on the silver curtain. The themed favors with fresh "bem casados" (a type of Brazilian sweet) were made by JM Patisserie.

COVER ITALY EDITION - MAY ISSUE - GLOBAL Photos: Liya - @dontmoveandsmile - @elleffe.studio Model: Sthefany Mendes @sthefanymendesff Team Hooks: Fashion Director: Matheus Hooks - @directorhooks Design and marketing: Matheus Lopes - @mathlopes Interview: Nubia Sthefany Mendes is a renowned fashion model and influencer. Originally from Manaus, AM, she is also known as Sther by those closest to her. Currently, she resides in Milan, Italy. She is a woman who loves to travel and has visited several countries. She plans to visit many more, as for her, life is made of moments, and collecting the best moments makes life happier. As a successful influencer who works with her image, Sther always seeks good habits and reveals some of them in this interview. She also strives to have optimistic thoughts rather than pessimistic ones. She has a strong personality and attitude and is proud of her journey, never stopping to strive to be her best version. The young woman knew how to take advantage of the resources that the internet provided her and is aware that her shared content reaches many people, especially the female audience. Sther is very grateful for everything she has already achieved and for what she will still achieve. She has a lot of willpower and moves forward towards her dreams and goals. There is no doubt that she knows that the achievements she has accumulated so far are the results of her dedication and effort in her work. We had the opportunity to learn a little more about this authentic and determined woman. Come with us and enjoy this interview! 01 - If you could describe yourself in a few words, what would they be? "It's a question that makes me thoughtful. But, modesty aside, I consider myself an analytical, decisive, and strong woman." 02 - Sther, on your Instagram, you share a lot about your daily life as well as your travels. Have the trips you've taken contributed to your life in any way? How? "Traveling is truly my passion! In travel, experiences become transformative, not only because we have the chance to see different places and meet people, but mainly because we can explore our self-knowledge and identify characteristics in our personality that previously went unnoticed precisely because of unique situations to which we are subjected during a trip. I love the expansion of cultural and emotional horizons. One of the best things about traveling alone is appreciating a completely different world, with diverse cuisines and very different languages, as well as approaches to social etiquette, changing pace, climate, knowledge of religions and customs." 03 - Could you name some places you've visited? And which one did you like the most? Why? "I am a bit biased to speak because I am completely in love with many places I have visited. However, following the history of Rome while being there left me super fulfilled. It is surreal to look at a monument built about 1,951 years ago in front of us, the feeling is as if we were transported back to the ancient society of the Roman Empire, this is the famous Colosseum that began to be built in 72 under the reign of Vespasian and was completed in 80 during the mandate of Emperor Titus. History will always be my weak point and it's no wonder that it is one of the 7 wonders of the world. I was fascinated by so much information and beauty gathered in one place." 04 - What is a place you have not yet visited but still intend to? "There are many countries that I still dream of visiting, and I will. But as I love to learn more about the history of a place, Egypt is on my priority list for the next destinations." 05 - Sther, you are very stylish. How do you feel knowing that you are a reference of style for the female audience? "Since I was very young, I have had a fascination for the fashion universe. I found myself watching fashion shows like Paris Fashion Week, Victoria's Secret, among others. With the development of social media, especially Instagram, I started to follow global trends and, in my daily life, I began posting my looks and receiving satisfying feedback. That was when I started to stand out and have more visibility. Although it is still a bit recent, I am happy to be a source of inspiration for my followers and friends, I feel grateful, but I have intentions of expanding more in this niche." 06 - You are a woman who not only follows standards. Have you always had personality in your style? "Yes, since I was young I liked to put together my own looks, daring in combinations and colors, which is not much different now. I have my own style, but I also love to be up to date with the current trends. I don't just dress because most people are wearing it, I guide myself by my style, quality, and if I feel good. Therefore, I have always had my own personality both in style and in life." 07 - Could you mention your biggest inspirations in life and professionalism? "Life is the purest reason for inspiration. Everywhere, there are people and situations that, with the right outlook, can be the subject of a great story. Our interior is the purest source of wisdom. When the outside world is not enough to inspire you, seek what is within you." 08 - It is noticed through your Instagram that you are very vain. Could you reveal to us some self-care practices that you practice? "I practice some self-care habits, and I can mention a few. Every morning, I am grateful to God for the day. Then I pay attention to physical care with excellent skincare products. For mental and social care, I take charge of watching some emotional intelligence platforms. Not every day is incredible, but the secret is to know how to nourish the soul with positive thoughts." 09 - Do you have daily habits? What tips would you give to someone who wants to improve their routine to have a more productive week? "Yes, I do. I love my routine, that is, my habits. It may seem silly, but starting the day following the protocols that I will write down below can have excellent results: Wake up earlier. Drink about 2 liters of water. Be thankful for the day. Stretch. Take a good shower and a great breakfast. Avoid your phone while taking breaks. Plan your day and be happy." 10 - Last question, but not least important: if you could display a message on a billboard, what would it be? "No one can step into the same river twice, for when they step in again, they do not meet the same waters and their own self has also changed."

The professional, who is a real estate investor and expert in recurring real estate income in the US for creating a recurring income portfolio or retirement succession plan with recurring income, has provided some tips for those who aspire to invest in the US real estate segment. 1- First, you should look for a solid company with professionals licensed by the state of Florida so that you can have the best representation. 2- Study the areas where you plan to invest because many of these areas may not give you the expected return.

Your professional should conduct market research to provide you with the best insurance coverage. 4- When coming to the United States to invest or move here, don't buy your primary home right away. Rent one because you can use part of that money (from the purchase) to generate income in the US and not have to convert your Brazilian Real to the US dollar. It's always good to arrive and rent, even to get to know the schools, neighborhoods, and effectively determine where you want to live. 5- Look for a solid immigration attorney or partner company. If your plan is to move to the US, having the best legal support to have your visa approved makes all the difference. 6- Find an accounting firm that has a presence in Brazil and the United States, so you can transfer dollars with lower taxes, open an account, and receive all the assistance you need. On May 6th, the businessman will speak at the International Business and Wealth Conference (Cinep). The event will take place at the Hípica Hall in Brasília, with the aim of helping other investors achieve success in their businesses. "I was invited to be one of the speakers at the event that will address the real estate investment area, with significant people from the Brazilian and American markets. My expectation is that maybe we can promote this partnership with these companies from Brazil that are holding these events. More than a thousand people have already registered for this event," said Nolasco, co-author of the Amazon best-seller "Think Big!".

Did you have any difficulties adapting to this country? If so, could you tell us? "Living in a country different from your nationality and customs is a little difficult, yes. At first, it may seem a bit overwhelming, but with calmness and persistence, things start to work out. The language, culture, cuisine, and habits are quite different. But I knew how to deal with the situation and adapted, and today I feel very happy in Mexico. I am fluent in three languages and I am proud to have already visited several countries." 2- Angélica, how did your journey in the modeling career begin? "Still in my teenage years, around 17, I was spotted/discovered by a scout who entered me in the Miss Campinas contest. After 5 months, I already had an international contract and worked in several countries such as Korea, Milan, the United States, Turkey, Greece, and currently in Mexico. For me, leaving my home country so young and alone made me mature. I learned to be independent and value this learning a lot." 3- For many people, living in another country only has advantages. For you, is this statement true? Are there also challenges? "No, living in a new country is not just about 'living wonders,' as many people think it is. There are many sacrifices and lessons to be learned. I recognize that there are many opportunities, but there are also challenges. Persistence and resilience are crucial in the process." 4- Was it difficult to make the decision to live outside Brazil? "It wasn't easy. Being away from family, friends, and having new customs isn't a very nice task. But with persistence and courage, I made it. I'm very grateful to God for all the opportunities he has given me. Today, I feel very fulfilled and proud of my choices." 5- How would you describe yourself in a few words? "I am a courageous, affectionate, cheerful, and very lively person. I am passionate about life." 6- Angel, in her journey, did you have a moment when you considered giving up? "I have thought about it, yes, but I made sure to remember the reasons that led me there, and then, quickly, I would regain the desire to win, to achieve my goals." 7- Last question, but not least important: if you could display a message on a billboard, what would it be? "Always believe in your dreams. With faith and determination, you can achieve whatever you desire." HOOKS MAGAZINE INTERNATIONAL
