Camila Coelhois a big deal. Having moved to the US from Brazil when she was just 14 years old, before attending college, clocking hours at the Dior make-up counter in Macy's and eventually setting up her own make-up artistry business. A decade ago in 2010 Camila decided to launch a beauty focused blog and the rest is history. Now with over 8.8 million followers on Instagram watching every fashion and beauty move she makes, her influence is far-reaching. It's little wonder then that 2019 saw the launch of her own eponymous clothing line. Sold exclusively on Revolve it caused a sensation, and this year sees the line branch out into swimwear. The clean lines and Instagram-worthy colour pairings are proving a hit, despite today's current travel restrictions.
Wanderlust, it seems, cannot be assuaged, especially when it comes to getting hold of a piece of Camila Coelho's new offering (shop the collection here). Here the entrepreneur talks Grazia through all the little things that are boosting her mood during lockdown.
The song I listen to when I need a boost: Con Altura by Rosalia and J Balvin. I can’t help but dance!
The book I can’t put down: The Gift of Forgiveness by Katherine Schwarzenegger. It’s so inspirational and brings out so many unexpected emotions.
My go-to feel good recipe: Brazilian cheese bread, aka pão de queijo. I make it almost daily!
The Instagram account that brings me joy: @dean.schneider. I’m obsessed with animal videos, they help calm me before I go to sleep.
What never fails to make me smile: A hug from loved ones, which I’m missing so badly right now.
My go-to supplement: Vitamin C. It’s always with me for my immune health on the go.
My favourite at-home workout: My own leg and butt workout with my trainer Danny. It’s actually on my IGTV!
My feel-good at-home beauty routine: When I wake up, I always use my jade roller to give myself a lymphatic massage and depuff! Then I put on my Vitamin C serum to keep my skin hydrated throughout the day, and sunblock to always protect.
My failsafe face mask: Bioeffect's Imprinting Hydrogel Mask, £13.
I’m positive that this will be over soon, and that we will still be able to create amazing memories
Another song that makes me smile: Stand By Me by Ben E King. It’s so calming and always makes me appreciate my loved ones even more.
The smell that lifts my mood: Honestly these days, any food smell… especially my mom’s Bolognese pasta
The movie I’ll happily watch again and again: The Notebook and Dirty Dancing. The Notebook when I want to cry and Dirty Dancing when I want to dance.
The Netflix show I tell everyone to watch: Money Heist, it’s so addictive.
My happy place: In Brazil with my horses. I miss them so much!
A final feel good note from me: I hope that everyone is taking this time to reflect, to take care of their mental health and to stay in touch with loved ones. I’m positive that this will be over soon, and that we will still be able to create amazing memories.
