Cannes, Milan & Paris Fashion Shows

The last few months have been a whirlwind of excitement and exhaustion as we immersed ourselves in the glamour of fashion weeks in Cannes, Milan, and Paris. With just 168 hours in a week—56 of which should be for sleep—it’s safe to say that equation was completely ignored amidst the chaos!

From bold, avant-garde creations in Paris to timeless elegance in Cannes and innovative textures in Milan, we’ve had a front-row seat to it all. Beatriz, our brilliant fashion columnist and model, and Sara, our talented fashion photographer, captured every breathtaking moment—both behind the scenes and on the runway. Their friendship, creativity, and shared ambition are the perfect balance that keeps them thriving in the fast-paced world of fashion. Together, they make magic happen!

A Lifestyle Portugal Year in Review

In the heart of Portugal, where dreams take flight, 2024 shone with moments so bright.

From vineyards lush to coastlines wide,
We captured the beauty, the passion, the pride.

The wine awards raised a toast to the best,
While Madeira’s charm stood out from the rest.

Empowering women, their voices grew strong,
Inspiring change as the year moved along.

Catarina Gouveia graced our cover with flair,
Her stories told with elegance rare.

From Alexandra Bonte to Zandra Rhodes’ hue,
Our pages held stories both vibrant and true.

Lofoten’s lights and the Arctic chill,
Captured by James with awe and skill.

Niamh’s “House of Guinness” soon to amaze,
Hints of a future in theatrical gaze.

The luxury of Monaco, wine glasses fine,
Every feature curated, a sparkling design.

As 2025 knocks on our door,
We wish you health, prosperity, and more.

May your journey be bright, your dreams take wing,
From Lifestyle Portugal, here’s to everything!

Thank you for sharing your moments with us,

Through passion, art, and a touch of trust.

Here’s to the new year, may it shine so bright,

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

🚂 THE TRAIN – A Lifestyle Portugal Journey🚂

At birth, we boarded the train and met our parents, believing they would always travel by our side. As time goes by, others join us on this journey — siblings, friends, mentors, children, strangers, and perhaps even the love of your life.

At Lifestyle Portugal, we celebrate those who step onto our train, whether briefly or for the long haul. We cherish the artists, creators, visionaries, and innovators who share their stories with us — who make this journey richer, more vibrant, and memorable.

But, like all trains, this ride is filled with moments of joy, sorrow, expectation, and farewell. There will be times when we bid goodbye to those we hold dear, leaving a void that cannot be filled. Others may step away quietly, unnoticed, their presence appreciated only in hindsight.

The success of this journey lies in how we connect with our fellow passengers. It is about living authentically, forgiving often, and giving the very best of who we are. At Lifestyle Portugal, our aim is to inspire you to make the most of your ride — to explore, dream, discover, and celebrate the extraordinary people and places that make Portugal a destination like no other.

We do not know at which station our own journey will end. So, let us live fully, leave behind beautiful memories, and be grateful for the time we have together on this train called life.

To our readers, contributors, and partners: thank you for being part of Lifestyle Portugal’s journey. You are the reason this train keeps moving forward, full of love, purpose, and inspiration.

🎄🎅🎉 From all of us at Lifestyle Portugal, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous 2025. May your journey be filled with joy, success, and unforgettable moments. 🎄🎅🎉

Thank you for being a passenger on our train.

“200 Years of Elegance: Our Exclusive Interview with Vista Alegre’s Nuno Barra 🎉”

When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then ?
A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:
1.
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2.
You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.
Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9.
FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.
