First thing after I wake up, I brush my teeth and wash my face or take a quick shower. Then, I brush my hair β my man says that I look like a dog ready to go to a dog show. I pour boiling water over two spoons of chicory root powder and add a little bit of Oatly. It makes my body feel so good, it's the best for digestion.
I love a sweet breakfast. I have a few combinations that I rotate through β toasted bread with Serbian plum jam, tahini toast topped with honey, a black sesame croissant with homemade Portuguese orange jam, or my favorite thing to buy from my local bakery, Chambelland : pain au raisin.
I was born in Belgrade and lived there until I was about There were very nice times until I was seven, then war started. Soon the borders were closed and embargos ushered in some of the worst inflation in the history of the world, followed by bombing. It went on for so many years.
Looking back, I see that it wasn't the most average childhood, but growing up in difficult circumstances is a kind of blessing. I don't think having abundance is a good environment for development. I was lucky to have been born into a family rich in love and understanding. My parents gave me the freedom to establish my own limits, while showing me through example how I should treat others. When I was 15, I convinced my parents to allow me to go to Tokyo over the summer to work as a model.
It was way before mobile phones were prolific, so it's crazy that they let me go. I had to take a minivan to Budapest to fly out of Hungary, as the airports in my country were shut down because of the war.
