Interview With Fashion Model Bozena Zag

Hi there, my beautiful readers! Ever wonder what it’s really like to be a fashion model? You know, jet-setting to glamorous locations, landing modeling jobs left and right, and working with top photographers like it’s no big deal?

Yeah, me too. I mean, the closest I ever got was posing for a family photo at the local fair, trying to look fierce while holding a goldfish I just won. But, as usual, I digress… 😏🐠🎡

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with the one and only Bozena Zag, a freelance model who’s been turning heads and strutting her stuff since 2014. 😎💃✨

Bozena isn’t your run-of-the-mill fashionista; she’s a small-town girl with big-city dreams, and she’s made them come true. All without an agent! 👗🚀🌍

Yep, she’s been booking modeling jobs on her own, traveling far and wide, and bringing her creative vision to life with some of the best in the biz. 📸👜🎨

Now wait, there’s more! Bozena dropped some wisdom during our chat: “The grass isn’t greener on the other side—it’s greener when you water it.” 💡🌱💧

Ok then, friends, if you’re feeling a little parched in your own life, remember to water that grass (or at least spritz it with some high-fashion sparkle) and watch your dreams grow. Just like Bozena’s career! ✨🌟🌷

What is your name? How old are you? 

Bozena Zag - 47 years old. 

Are you on Social Media? How many followers do you have? 

Yes I am on a few. Instagram 23k.

Do you work Full-time or Part-time as a Fashion Model? 

Full Time.

What made you decide to become a Fashion Model? Tell me about your journey.

I was always inspired to be a fashion model but initially lacked confidence and family support. 

After separating at age 36/37, with three young children and no clear direction, faced numerous challenges and rejections. Despite starting late and juggling motherhood, I persisted, investing in a mentor and working on my mindset. 

My  journey inspired others, proving that careers can begin at any age. Now, at 47 successfully working with agencies, launching courses, and sharing my story to motivate others.

    

How many hours do you spend modeling?

Modeling work involves more than just photo shoots; it includes online tasks such as early morning and evening work, booking modeling jobs, and consulting with advisors, all of which they consider integral to their modeling career.

Is fashion important to you? Why?

Yes it’s important to me. Fashion is vital as it boosts self-worth, fosters creativity, and mirrors inner beauty. It enables individuals to shape their surroundings and express how they wish to present themselves and their emotions to the world.

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

My unwavering determination to pursue the vision despite numerous hurdles and slow progress. By continually pushing myself  and securing necessary resources, I gradually realized the long-held dreams. To me , success is defined by  persistence and the ability to see and feel the vision coming to life.

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I’m living my  dream life, having achieved the goals of having children, traveling, and inspiring others. It is possible to pursue multiple careers or passions at any age, regardless of challenges. 

My  mission is to continue doing what I  love while helping and inspiring others, serving as proof that mindset and determination can lead to success.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you model clothing?

The quality, which I have always appreciated, that is important to me.

Describe your personal style of clothing?

Dressy classy-casual style that balances elegance with comfort. My  wardrobe includes fashionable workout gear, jeans paired with tank tops, blazers or cardigans, and dressy pants with comfortable shoes and dresses

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

Spent  many years exploring various brands and designers but have not settled on a personal signature style, as I appreciate a wide range of designers and can't choose just one favorite.

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

No I do not.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Love wearing long, slim-fit bellbottom jeans with a tank top, casual top, cardigan, or blazer, paired with comfortable flat shoes or heels, creating a versatile, business-like yet comfortable look for meetings and casual outings

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

There are no "worse trends" for me since everyone has their own style that works and feels good for them.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Key tips for optimizing your wardrobe: regularly edit your closet, hang everyday wear, curate a collection you love, elevate the look of outerwear, avoid non-returnable purchases, let go of unworn items, understand what suits your body type, and organize shelf-stacked items efficiently.

Who is your style icon and why? 

Victoria Beckham's unique, classy, and fashionable everyday style, appreciating her minimal makeup and natural confidence.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

The key to success is a positive mindset, self-belief, and inner peace, which attract opportunities. Though it may sound cliché, but it's proven effective.

Interview With Makeup Artist Wil Strayhorn

Hi There, my gorgeous girls and boys! Ever wondered if your makeup artist could also double as your brand coach? How about transforming your entire image while getting some much-needed wisdom on how to tackle life’s most complicated topics? 

Picture provided by Wil Strayhorn

www.wilstrayhorn.com

Well, let me introduce you to Wil Strayhorn—a true expert at making people look and feel their best, inside and out. 😊✨💅

With a masterful blend of mindset coaching, image revamping (we’re talking hair, wardrobe, makeup—the works), and a knack for brand coaching, Will is the one-stop-shop for your ultimate glow-up. 😏💇‍♀️🎨

Hey wait, there’s more! Will doesn’t just stop at individual transformations. His podcast, *Let’s Face It w/ Wil Strayhorn & Friends*, dives deep into today’s most trending and controversial issues. 😎🎙️🔥

From personal growth and navigating love and relationships, to, let’s face it, everything in between, Wil’s thought-provoking conversations with expert guests will keep you hooked. 😄💭💞

Now, I must admit, this all sounds like something I’d be thrilled to try myself! After all, this *fall chicken* could definitely use a bit of a feather shine-up. 🐔💫🧖‍♀️

Who wouldn’t want to strut into the new season with fresh plumage and a sparkling new mindset? 🐥👗✨

If there’s anyone who can get us looking—and feeling—our absolute best, it’s Wil Strayhorn. Well then, who’s ready to jump right into this new Makeup Artist interview? 🤩💪🎤

Picture provided by Wil Strayhorn

What is your name, function and the company you work for?  

Wil Strayhorn, Transformational Coach, Let’s Face It (LFI)

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I specialize in transforming individuals from the inside out, including mindset coaching, image coaching, which encompasses hair, wardrobe, and make-up, to name a few.

What made you decide to become a MakeUp Artist?

First, I was a hairstylist and ultimately became a make-up artist as a way to achieve my entire vision for a person’s transformation. 

Rather than having to hire someone to carry out what I “saw,” the time was ripe for me to empower myself as both stylist and artist.

Is beauty important to you? Why? 

Yes, it absolutely is. When people look their best, they feel their best. Harry Winston, a famed jeweller, once said: “People will stare, make it worth their while.” And that’s true—you ARE your walking business card. Whether it’s make-up, hair, attire, or more, people judge based on what they see.

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I’m still becoming and as a person who started with ‘imposter’s syndrome’ it’s a major success that I’m still standing. COVID took a lot of my colleagues out—out of the field, out of business, and out of line. 

Yet, here I am, still standing, thriving, and excelling 30 years later. To do it, I always look for the possibilities in situations. I stay optimistic. I keep my eyes locked on the goal, not the barriers or distractions.

Picture provided by Wil Strayhorn

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

Have a team! I so desire a team to help scale my businesses to the next level. I’m energized by the opportunity to mentor, train, and coach others. I would love to recruit, hire, and manage a team one day. I aspire to teach globally.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy make-up?

No, not at all. I have a masters degree in marketing so I understand “branding.” Just because it’s name-brand or becomes a ‘household name’ doesn’t mean it’s superior. It’s just great marketing. It’s just knowing their customer, their needs, and targeting to their needs. 

Describe your personal make-up style?

My personal make-up style is a natural, soft glam with a kick. Basically that means that you will recognize yourself when you look in the mirror but no doubt see your BEST self.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I found my personal style through trial and error. I studied heavily, watching and observing all “the greats” in the industry until I discovered my own approach, my own voice, and style. It has become my signature look. 

Specializing in natural looks—not traditional by any means—but a healthy balance between natural, sophistication, creativity, and a pop of tasteful flair.

Do you have an influence on other people’s make-up or clothing style?

Yes, by design—my business is image and mindset coaching. I aim to have an influence on other people’s make-up or clothing style, but do it in a way that it’s a true partnership where we’re co-creating their next best self!

Picture provided by Wil Strayhorn

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Wow—that’s a great question because I do NOT follow trends by any stretch of the imagination. Trends are a money-maker. I teach people to find what works for them—that’s the trend. What works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. So rather than hunt for the next best trend, in my eyes we’re always looking for what works best for YOU.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

The exaggerated eyelashes that look like caterpillars on your eyes. Make-up should accentuate, never distract from.

What kind of beauty advice would you give us?

Great make-up looks best with great skin. So, while you can, take good care of your skin including stay hydrated, stay moisturized, and use sunscreen, no matter who you are. If you have any questions or need support, connect with an image coach like myself who can link you to an incredible network of skincare professionals.

Who is your style icon and why?

Tom Ford. Tom is a perfect mix of masculinity, style, and sophistication. The epitome of luxury.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Everyone can make effort any day. You can put on chapstick, lipstick, perfume, or sunscreen. Everybody’s not going to put on a whole face of make-up everyday. But even an old barn looks better with a fresh coat of paint on it (laughing).

Let’s stay connected and let’s face it: www.wilstrayhorn.com

How do you create Easy Brows?

Picture by Seadbeady

Step 1: Primer

Apply a small amount of primer to the eyebrow area. This helps improve the adhesion of the products. Once the primer is applied, you can move straight on to the next step.

Step 2: Easy Brows Sticker

Fold the sticker in half; this makes positioning easier. Place the center of the folded sticker stencil at the top of your nose. Peel off the backing and press the sticker into place.

Step 3: Pencil and Powder

Gently fill in your eyebrows using the eyebrow pencil, following the shape of the stencil. Next, apply the eyebrow powder over the penciled-in brows. Fill in any gaps or lightly cover the entire stencil area for a fuller look.

My opinion on the Complete Brow & Conceal kit

I wanted to try the Easy Brows Kit because in my opinion it’s crucial to support women experiencing severe eyebrow loss. 😊💪💕

Whether due to chemotherapy, alopecia, aging, skin conditions, or physical limitations, this kit aims to make a real difference. It’s not just about beauty—it’s about helping those who need it most. 💖✨🙌

I have a special place in my heart for people with cancer, as it’s a deeply personal issue for me. 😔🎗️❤️

Cancer runs in my family: my father passed away from colon cancer at 47, both of his brothers also succumbed to cancer, and even the daughter of his youngest sister was affected. 😢👨‍👧‍👦

The impact of cancer continued with the loss of my mother, who passed away from cancer at 74. Given this, supporting those affected by cancer is incredibly meaningful to me. 🌸🎗️💔

Picture by Seadbeady

Now, about this Brows kit. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the result. My scar is barely visible anymore. The only thing that wasn't so simple was finding the right spot to place the sticker, but I suspect it's just a matter of practice. 😊📍🎨

They have a pretty natural appearance. The only minor drawback is that the eyebrow appeared a bit too dark, but that might simply be because I'm no longer accustomed to seeing full eyebrows in the mirror. 🤔🌑

By the way, this complete Brow & Conceal kit is now available for €99,95 instead of €125. The Essential brow kit can now be bought for €79,95 instead of €99.95. 😄💸✨

Remember, they do not have standard shipping to the US, but they can look into it, so don't hesitate to contact them. 😊✉️🌍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day
