Natalia Proops: “When I did a class with my clients, they had to close their eyes and listen to different sounds. Bird sounds (calls and songs) are very primal sounds. How a human being perceives those sounds, depends on what memories they have. 

Pastel iridescent colors are my favorite. Designer Giorgio Armani does it very well using those colors in his runway shows. We have an artist and concert pianist, who has a castle close by, and the cultural circle I belong to took a trip to see her. As I am aging, it was wonderful to see a woman who is over ninety wearing those colors. Iridescent colors change color as the angle of view changes.

For quite a few years, I've been looking for a perfume with the perfect fragrance of a rose. In my search, I have smelled a lot of perfumes. Many of them had things added. I just wanted the scent of a pure rose, and nothing that smelled synthetic. It was quite the challenge. I recently discovered it and got it as a Valentine's present. Like the Lily of the Valley, it is impossible to extract the essence of a rose. It must be created.

My husband created a solar powered candelabra outside the entrance of our castle. When we arrive home in the evening, it sparkles. 

What I wish for everyone is that their life would be easier. When I meet a person who is very inspired and passionate about something, I am moved to do anything I can to make it easier for them. Sometimes it’s just listening and other times it might be cooking a meal and letting them know I care about them and their passion or health condition.

I believe it is important to seek moments of ease and comfort. This is what I enjoy giving to people from my heart, so they can recharge and keep marching throughout their journey.”
