Although at first she specialized in cosmetic issues, she has also taken advantage of the space to talk about gossip, music and fashion, although her base has always been beauty tutorials, which earned her becoming, at just 17 years old, in 2017, the first male ambassador of the firm Rimmel London.

In 2016, Lewys was included in the ranking of the English newspaper The Guardian in The Teen Power List, being considered one of the most talented and purposeful boys.

In addition to continuing in force on social networks, he launched his own firm One Size, which is aimed at the general public. She has 4.4 million followers on both YouTube and Instagram.

Hello, Guru:

I just turned 40, I have a good figure and good legs. I was sorting through my closet this New Year's Eve and I found some cute miniskirts. What do you say? Can I use them, or better not anymore?

Janina

Hi Janina,

It is not necessary to wear miniskirts to show off your legs, look for skirts that reach just above the knee or half, these will allow you to show them off without looking like you want to look younger, not to mention that, according to trends, this is not the time for miniskirts. But, you can save your minis and show them off at the beach, until you feel comfortable in them yourself.

Guru kisses, XOXO
