December Days

I cannot believe that we have reached the month of December... How exactly did that happen!

I wanted to send you a personal message from the heart - and I guess I also wanted to record the fact we still have sunshine in December!

It has been a very active month. The Riviera Woman is been proud to be working with some great women:

In the Anna Fill Interviews, I spoke with Grisel Damgaard (Video) who has made a career change. As co-owner of Monte Carlo Weddings, she has now started Carfax Education Monaco.

Victoria James is so passionate about animals. As an Animal Behaviourist and Pet Trainer, she talks about her career in My Business.

Anette Shine has danced her way to success for many years. She has embraced the dance fitness craze Zumba saying 'Everyone Can Shine' And they do... The 1st Sunshine Zumba Party was a huge success.

Empowering women are making a difference. Baroness Cecile de Massy, President of Ladies Lunch Monte Carlo together with her team of dedicated women have raised more than €50,000 for their chosen charity.

Julie Hellon who I interviewed back in April continues to raise awareness for Kenyon Kids. Her personal visits to Kenya reveals the continual need for support.

I am delighted to share with you the interview I did for Claudia Potamkin of GenConnect in the USA back in September - speaking about The Riviera Woman and the media platforms available today.

In the Anna Fill Interviews, it was a pleasure to talk to Johnessco Rodriguez, creator of the magnificent contemporary Art Monaco show taking place from the 5th - 8th April 2012.

The magnificent competition prize to win a beautiful perfume traveller's set by Clive Christian - creators of the most expensive perfume in the world, is still up for grabs! Special thanks going to my sponsors Barclays Wealth Monaco. You have until December 15th to enter: CLICK HERE TO ENTER. We will be announcing the winner on the 16th December and we will have another competition with another great prize!

In 'DJ Anna's Pick' we pay tribute to the late great Freddie Mercury, with one of his classic tracks - 'A Kind Of Magic'. Artist Heather Campbell paints her tribute of the music genious. Freddie Mercury died 20 years ago!

In Food and Recipes, Top Chef Joël Garault has three very tasty recipes for you to try at home. Starter, Main and Dessert.
