For sure we were hot—more than 30 °C , and when you run you "produce" about 10 more! Sometimes I really ask myself why I put myself into this 😁🥵

      🔮 "You need to stop running." That’s what th 🔮 "You need to stop running."

That’s what the sports doctor at Zürich’s prestigious clinic told me—serious, authoritative, like he was delivering a prophecy 🧙

Osteoarthritis. Degenerative. Hallux rigidus. Aging. Stop. Running.

I listened, nodded, tried not to look like a rebellious teenager being told to stay off their phone. I believe in science, I respect doctors—but I also believe in getting second (or third) opinions. 

And, well… here I am. No surgery, no magic pills. Just foot exercises, a healthy lifestyle, and maybe a little stubbornness

15 years later : still running🏃🏻‍♀️😁

Yup, you read that right—not pilots, not seamen, but for people who prefer leg day… every day. 

Meet the Top Time B01 Fausto Coppi, a wild ride of a watch inspired by the legendary “Campionissimo” himself. Think turquoise subdials, a lightning bolt seconds hand, and enough vintage cool to make your Lycra blush. Precision? Yes. Boring? Never.

And hey—it’s always fun to _"borrow"_ @gadgetgubi's bike… especially when it's rocking that perfect celeste shade. It’s like the watch and the wheels were destined to match.

@georgeskern I want to see you wearing this! 🔥

A charming Austrian gem, Hallstatt is a mix of pastel houses, mountain reflections, and history dating back 7,000 years. No wonder it’s famous worldwide.

I hadn't done a top ten result for a long time, and somehow yesterday it happened, after 7 hours and 48 minutes on my feet, with 1'900 mt elevation. 

@holly.zimmermann supported me from the start to the end, cheering me and encouraging me and following me with the bike wherever it was possible. 

Our group was super strong, with @doloresbarettahealthytravel  winning her age group, Gustav winning his age group, and @oliver.gerstlauer also arriving 5th. 

Now it's time for my 2 days of digital detox, with the gorgeous mountains in my eyes and in my heart.

      ✨ *Hide your legs after 50?* ✨ Last week at @ ✨ *Hide your legs after 50?* ✨

Last week at @latienda_uitikon , guests explored an interesting fashion debate while beautiful @luisarossistylist showcased some stunning outfits:

_"No matter how fit you are, at 50 or 60, you should never show your legs."_

Well, I wholeheartedly disagree! My legs look almost 60 because—guess what?—that’s my age. And that’s not a flaw. Aging is not a sin—it’s a privilege.

Style should never be dictated by a number. Dress based on your personality, confidence, and message, not outdated rules.

💛 AGING IS A PRIVILEGE. OWN IT.💛
