Forever.

The Story of Time.

Sometimes I remember time, how time is made, how time makes us. How it entwines itself, enthralling, in our bodies, in our arms, in our kisses, in our saudade. I remember us, my love, in a time. In a short, fleeting, stolen time, in a time without time, we thought.”

For those who know me, it’s easy to believe that, the day before my wedding, I hadn’t yet written my vows. I found myself cancelling out the words every time I tried to write them. Then, in the middle of a box of souvenirs, I discovered a letter I had written to Luís when I was in Luanda and, at the top of the already yellowed page, it said, ’The Story of Time’. In the most passionate phase of our relationship, Luís and I had the distance between Portugal and Angola and very little time to simply be. The truth is that, five years after I wrote that letter, we were rewriting the story of time, of our time, and committing to spending it together for the rest of our lives.

In May, we will bring time without time to our brides. We dedicate a 100% personalised facial treatment, with no closed protocol, which must be carried out at least two weeks before the wedding day. This treatment is included in an exclusive experience for brides, which I have been redesigning over the last few years, with an absolute commitment to care, love and dedication.

Today, married for almost seven years, in constant celebration of this love, my language naturally extends to caring for others, with a simple and sincere purpose: to change people’s lives through their skin.

“Now I live in a destined time. Destined for you, for those mismatched encounters of smiles, laughter, tears and squeezes. And now, after six years, we’re here, in the time destined for us. Now, me and you against the world.” I dedicate my writing to Luís, the love of my life.
