If you're looking for inspiration to eat better, without having to get bored of eating the same thing over and over again, then you need to follow Marta - and maybe go to one of her workshops! Always plant-based, she can even create recipes from cuisines around the world, which would look wonderful, if it weren't for Marta, who is also a food stylist.

You'll see that the beach and the sun appear many times throughout the interview, as a place to recharge batteries and enjoy free time, which is why face sunscreens and foot kit could only be among Marta's essentials - it's always the protect your skin so we can get a healthy and beautiful tan, like hers!
