Since Marie was a little girl, she always had an eye for beauty —  wether it was in art, painting, makeup, hair or clothes. Her passion for fashion grew deeper and led her to pursue an education in fashion marketing. She’s still a part time freelance stylist, and had the chance to work with some of her favourite magazines.

Her biggest motivation in life is making people happy. Marie is pretty much a childless mom; always trying to make sure people around her feel loved and appreciated. She believes that having a good heart and being generous to others makes her stronger -- and this is the one thing no one can take away from her.

To inspire other women, Marie says: “The body we have doesn’t determine our happiness. I have curves, I wear crop tops and I’m happy. Ladies, be happy! You are beautiful human beings!"
