Lea Michele, Lea Michele,
one of the stars of Glee,
launches her latest single
“Cannoball”

Maia begins 2014 with the release of her new album "INSTINTO" which

"No Quererte" “Hoy" and “He Tenido Que Aprender" an edit of CD + DVD
contains untold scenes of the development of the production and recording
of her album, also video clips of “No Quererte "and" Antidoto ".
INSTINTO reflects two musical characteristics that Maia more
remembered, the first Caribbean, with Latin sounds and songs that
convey the listener to the strength and energy that define the personality of
the artist, and a second one, the facet that Maia shows on her pop songs
performed with passion, showing a woman of deep and sincere feelings.
The album featured
the collaboration of
great compositions
and producers
including Claudia
Brant, Fernando
Osorio, Yasmil
Marrufo, Nacho

issues that provide a
way or another
reflect the feeling
and artistic maturity
reached Maia
through his musical
career.

contains some of the
best pop online,
without leaving
behind the merger
with Caribbean
sounds, and an
unmistakable stamp
of quality that can
only be Maia.

Gimenez
Photography PEDRO RODRIGUEZ
GONZALEZ

Name: Alis Giménez
Place of birth: Buenos Aires
(Argentina)
Height: 168 cm
Measurements: 95-62-93

Twelve years ago, I
came to Palma de
Mallorca by my
sisters, they had
been lived a long
time there. Since the
first time I was in love
with the island, so I
am living here. I miss
the many miles I
needed to go every
day to get from one
place to another.
Buenos Aires is so
large and the island
is so small, that’s why
I must not go so far.
And of course I miss
my mother and also
my childhood friends
too. I actually devote
myself to the world of
real estate, but when
something interesting
comes up that fits my
profile and helps me
to grow up in the
fashion and
photography world, I
do it inspiringly
because I like posing.

"So far I have had the
opportunity to work
with the great
professional
photographers of
Madrid like Pedro
Rodríguez and José
Gomis. I try to groom
myself in everything
I’m able to without
exaggeration, but I
like to pamper myself,
go out preppy with
my heels, using
creams, go to the
gym every day ... but
I have no qualms
about eating what I
want, neither I just
eat salad. I am a very
sensitive girl, I love
animals and as a
good taurus, I have a
strong character but a
good heart. My goal
is to get a faster
growing participation
in the company
where I work, where I
can continue to learn
and take more
responsibility.

Personally, it is
one of the most
difficult things,
when you think
about that you're
better and you
can do it, I have
a knack in my
hands
(laughing)... On
this account I
would like to
qualify the title of
professional
makeup artist,
since I have a lot
of imagination
and creativity,
and this is what I
really like to do.
What you can do
best is that what
you should
make, take it out
of the question.
We choose our
destiny. And of
course do this
pending trip to
this wonderful
place.

I have been working
in the photography
world since four
years ago. For me,
this time was like a
partnership who
animated to me to
pose in front of the
camera, he said I
had my own charm
and my profile
yielded it to do that.
So I encouraged
myself, and the first
photographer for
whom I posed
turned out to be one
of the best ones on
the island where I
live, and thanks to
him I learned a lot
and with his support,
I also have met
other professionals.
He taught me to lose
the fear and the
shame in front of the
cameras. I still
remember my first
session, it took
hours and I finished
soaked and was
wiped out by the
poses. But now I
have very pretty
memories of my
beginnings and
today I’m much
more naturally.

In that time when I made
the things like fashion and
photography, I have had
the opportunity to work
with great professional
photographers of Madrid
and Mallorca and there
are still pending several
photo sessions with
renowned photographers
who have worked for
major brands as well as
journalists from the
majorcan newspaper UH,
for the newspaper
Mediterráneo Digital and
for the Eden-Magazine of
Madrid. I also had a brief
participation in the video
clip of the German singer
Francisca Urio. And all
that little by little, because
I live here on a very small
island and I'm very
bounded because it is very
difficult to move around in
this world, but with effort
and with the help of my
friends and my contacts I
will achieving my goals.»

Healthy Cooking with our Chef
Jorge Enrique Martínez
Dear readers, We are
going to change our nutritional
habits, it is very easy. I
propose to you the next:
You have to start to read a bit
more in the labels and
nutritional information tables
that commonly is given in the
food packaging, where we can
found the production of those,
the counter of calories, the
sodium, fat, carbs quantity
and many others products that
definitely we do not want
through our body.
We continue with task little by little, you must to go looking for
information on these products mentioned and terms used in them, it
is easy, you can go take a little awareness about what experts tell us
about it and thus talk a healthier language.
I want to talk about in next edition of calories, protein, carbohydrates,
vitamins, minerals, fruits, vegetables, antioxidants, organic food and
fiber, but for now we will use just these concepts.
If you want to help your body and learn about healthy cooking is very
important to know about these and other research topics will be
easier to start the best diet of healthy food.

For now, I want to tell
you that it is so important
to have many smalls
meals throug the day, if
our intake of calories is
not big, our health would
be good ( I insist to you,
please do not change
your habits whitout
consulting your
nutritionist)
If you have three main meals and two moderate healthy meals
between, you will begin to see significant changes, such as having
more energy, lose weight and feel better health among others.
When we are going to take the main meal at lunch and the food is
great to have a menu with protein, carbohydrate, and vegetables, try
not to exceed three food groups, half of the vegetable plate, a quarter
protein and one quarter carbohydrates where the latter two do not
have to be bigger than your fist, do not eat food after 6 pm.
Look for organic food as you can be possible, and avoid processed
meals; when you cook your meals, never overcook the food, because
it will lose their organoleptic characteristics (features we perceive the
sense organs) and thus it lose the nutrients, tastes, smells and more
properties of a good food that our bodies need to feel pleasure in the
act of feeding.

Fernández
Miss Primavera España

21 years, comes from
Alicante –Spain.

"I can say that I
consider myself first
and foremost a
person with a big
heart and with
many values;
values, which today
in the society
almost nobody
have. My greatest
aspiration has
always been to be
happy and to find
someone who really
do respect and love
me… professionally
I have never set
limits, I always try to
go all out and to
achieve the highest
results in whatever I
do; either as a
lawyer, that I will
graduate next year
or as a model.

Currently I speak
three languages:
Castilian is my native
language; English as I
studied 4 classes of
the Secondary
Education in Ireland
when I was 15; and
now Italian because
I'm an erasmus
student in Sicily and I
virtually could speak
after one week. The
people here even
think that I was lying
when I told them that
it had only been a
week since I had
come. They thought
that by the way I
spoke I would have
been here since
months.

I have great luck and the skill to
learn things very fast.
I love the cuisine, eating and
cooking, and of all the cultures. I
always like to try everything in
every country.
I love singing, it helps me to let off
steam and many times, I express
my feelings through various songs,
depending on my particular
emotional condition in the moment.
I like learning about anything, from
the most insignificant to the
greatest oddities, because it
enriches me as a person.
I'm super optimistic and when I feel
that everything is going wrong with
me, I just think that tomorrow it will
be better.
I think I'm a pretty self-assured
person. I know what I want and
what I like and that helps me to
specify my goals and what I have to
do to reach them. I have felt
occasionally this uncertainty and
indecision of not knowing what to
do, but then I have come to a
conclusion quickly."
