Perspective: “Beauty is an objective thing. It’s really doing what feels good for you. It’s being true, to you.”

At IMBIBE, we celebrate what it means to feel beautiful, to feel confident and to feel empowered in your skin - at every age, at every stage and in every way. 

It’s the mission we honour most, and one we want to share along the way.

And what we know is that every woman, every person, carries their own story about what it means to them to feel incomparable in their skin; All we had to do was ask.

“I feel with each year and the more time goes on I only get to know and learn about myself more and become more of her. ” 

This is Penelope. 

Happy, confident, glowing; a few words we could use to describe this Byron local and professional model, who really showcases how to feel beautiful by taking care of yourself, your happiness and a little joy, first. 

What makes you feel most beautiful in your skin?

I feel most beautiful in my skin when I’ve been taking care of myself.. which I have of late, actually. I have really taken my health and wellbeing into my own hands over the past few months (of which has always obviously been mine and my own responsibility however the difference is I’ve taken action on it and i absolutely feel different for it; happier, more confident, positive and naturally and simply more whole and myself.. of which all those nice feelings of feeling a certain way - like beautiful - follow in tow.

What are you looking forward to about ageing in your body?

I feel with each year and the more time goes on I only get to know and learn about myself more and become more of her.. I definitely feel a strong connection to my sensuality that wasn’t there in my youth or dare i say my 20s.. true sensuality and connection to my body and its evolving needs and desires; pleasure.. so i would say I’m looking forward to the continued unfolding of my relationship to that part of myself.

What did you love the most about being a part of our Skincare Photoshoot?

After living in the area for nearly five years it’s fantastic to see a local company really stepping onto the world stage, and not just any company but one that is here to create a healthier, more vital and conscious world.. I am honoured to be a part of it.
