✰ Hi loves. We all have interesting people in our entourage. And I believe that everyone has something to say. That is why I decided to interview friends of mine, about topics that they care about: a passion, a cause, some specific life issues…This is the first article of the series. I will be interviewing the 𝒇𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒚, 𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒄 & 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 Elodie, one of my best friends. Enjoy! x
