This Sunday, continuing along its “Ecohub” initiative to develop eco-friendly habits, the port restaurant owned by Kate Powers and Didier Rubiolo is hosting “Beauty Inside and Out”, a day of free workshops, conferences and expositions, from 11 am to 7 pm, on the StarDeck.
Geared towards both children and adults, the all-day fair will focus on how to be beautiful and healthy using natural methods and products, while “respecting the environment and the body’s natural needs”.
The morning conference kicks off at 11 am with Daniele de Winter of INSIDE OUT beauty, and speakers across the day will include Eat Juice nutritionist Madeleine Badia, Daniel Concas from the French Federation of Traditional Shiatsu, Fanny Rigaud discussing the Manual Face lift and Dr Tijana Tomic on Bioptron light therapy.
A dozen stands will offer information on everything from cooking with flowers to complimentary therapy, and from aloe vera products to natural cosmetics.
Beauty Inside and Out promises to draw a sizeable Sunday crowd, so booking a table for lunch or dinner in advance is recommended (+377 97 97 95 95).

For the 6th consecutive year, Monaco became the “Pink Principality” on the first Friday of October as Pink Ribbon Monaco marked the beginning of breast cancer awareness month, a global initiative.
As a gesture of solidarity to breast cancer victims, the nightfall illuminations, donated in part by Sharkprod, included the Palace and Conseil National, the yacht club, the Casino, Hotel Métropole and the Thermes Marins de Monte-Carlo.

Pink Ribbon Monaco works alongside the association Ecoute Cancer Réconfort (ECR), founded in 1992, under the Honorary Presidency of HSH Princess Stéphanie.
ECR members and volunteers ensure cancer sufferers and their families are “able to find the support – both psychological and financial – they need”. The also run a wellness centre, organise charity events and arrange hospital visits.

At the inauguration of the imagining service in 2014, Minister of Health and Social Affairs, Stéphane Valeri, thanked Pink Ribbon Monaco for its contributions to the fight against breast cancer through a number of events and donations.
