Editor Note<br />
Wow … what a year! 2023 will certainly<br />
be one of our most memorable years ever,<br />
filled with surprises, challenges, and<br />
blessings!<br />
Riche <strong>Magazine</strong> published 12 consecutive<br />
issues in 2023, bringing our total<br />
publication count to 147. We continued<br />
to deliver high quality publications<br />
featuring some of the biggest names in<br />
modeling. We also met our goal of<br />
broadening our content, to include indepth<br />
interviews, auto show coverage,<br />
and a more extensive focus on fitness and<br />
health. We will continue to expand our<br />
content, in hopes of becoming the #1<br />
choice in the fashion, fitness, and<br />
entertainment industry.<br />
Our <strong>2024</strong> publication schedule kicked off<br />
in January with our annual “Kate Baker”<br />
issue, one of our favorite projects each<br />
year. In this year’s issue, we were blessed<br />
to have all-new photos by Mark Barnfield,<br />
plus experience the amazing makeup<br />
artistry of Dior’s Wendy Perry. What a<br />
great way to start the year!<br />
I say this every year, so it may sound<br />
repetitive, but I am very sincere when I<br />
say I am so grateful for the opportunity<br />
to do what I love every day. I am grateful<br />
for each and every model, photographer,<br />
and business professional I've had the<br />
pleasure to work it, as well as each and<br />
every reader and subscriber! Thank you,<br />
thank you, thank you!<br />

How long have you been modeling? I’ve been modeling going on 7<br />
months.<br />
Who or what inspired you to start modeling? My main goal is to build a<br />
resume and become an actress.<br />
How would you describe your modeling style? I am excited and<br />
energetic, like a new dog with new tricks.<br />
What is your most memorable moment as a model? The countless times<br />
I’ve almost fallen right on my face during certain poses certainly are<br />
memorable.<br />
What are your modeling goals, short-term and long-term? My shortterm<br />
goals are to keep building popularity and branch out. My longterm<br />
goals would be to keep going wherever it takes me, travel with it,<br />
learn from it, and gain all these new experiences.<br />
What is your sexiest feature? Definitely my eyes are a strength, but my<br />
butt is pretty nice too.

6 Tips:<br />
How to stay active at home<br />
In the past weeks, it has become<br />
clear that social distancing and<br />
quarantining are the new normal.<br />
This is an overwhelming time as<br />
we attempt to adjust our mindsets<br />
and schedules – between working<br />
from home, watching after the<br />
kids, keeping up with the news,<br />
and maintaining sanity, it can be a<br />
challenge to prioritize your<br />
physical and mental health.<br />
Here are some tips on how to stay<br />
active in these strange and<br />
unprecedented times.<br />
Make a plan. It’s always easier to<br />
commit to a healthy habit if you<br />
make it part of your routine. At the<br />
beginning of each week, take a<br />
look at your schedule and find<br />
those windows where you could<br />
realistically squeeze in a workout.<br />
Set a reminder on your phone or<br />
even add the workout to your<br />
calendar to keep yourself<br />
accountable.<br />
Try a meal delivery service. It may<br />
be difficult to cook healthy meals<br />
every day, especially if you can’t get<br />
what you need from the grocery<br />
store. Having healthy food<br />
delivered safely to your door can<br />
alleviate the stress and hassle of<br />
cooking, plus having healthy<br />
options in the house will keep you<br />
from overeating and reaching for<br />
junk food. South Beach Diet, for<br />
example, offers fully nutritionally<br />
balanced, prepared meals and<br />
snacks that make it easy to keep<br />
your diet on track.<br />
Take breaks from work. It can be<br />
tempting to sit around all day while<br />
you’re working from home, but<br />
don’t let yourself stay sedentary for<br />
too long. Get away from your<br />
workspace and move around every<br />
hour or so to get your blood<br />
flowing. This will help you to stay<br />
sharp and healthy during social<br />
isolation. If you’re taking a phone<br />
call, stand up and allow yourself to<br />
pace around. Try to get up every<br />
hour and take a few steps around<br />
the house, stretch, or even do a<br />
few jumping jacks.<br />
Stream, stream, stream. As gyms<br />
and workout studios are<br />
necessarily closed for the<br />
moment, many fitness brands and<br />
instructors are using Instagram<br />
live to hold virtual classes. If you<br />
have a favorite local studio or a<br />
favorite instructor, check out their<br />
website or social media to see if<br />
they are hosting any online<br />
classes. Many fitness brands are<br />
also offering extended free trials<br />
to access their libraries of workout<br />
videos.<br />
Go for a walk or run. Of course, we<br />
are all limiting our trips outside to<br />
the grocery store, gas station, or<br />
anywhere else we might come in<br />
close contact with others. But if<br />
you are able to safely run or walk<br />
while keeping distance from your<br />
neighbors, those are great options<br />
for staying active, clearing your<br />
mind, and getting some fresh air.<br />
“It’s so important to find those<br />
moments of joy outdoors while<br />
we’re all social distancing,” says<br />
Jessie James Decker, mother of<br />
three and South Beach Diet brand<br />
ambassador. “Whatever that means<br />
for you – whether it’s a stroll around<br />
the neighborhood with the kids or a<br />
long run to velar your head – you’ll<br />
feel so much better if you make the<br />
time for it.”<br />
Keep your mind active. Just as our<br />
bodies need physical activity to<br />
stay healthy, our minds need<br />
stimulation (beyond reality TV<br />
binge sessions) to stay sharp as<br />
well. Group activities such as board<br />
games or puzzles are a great option<br />
for keeping your mind sharp while<br />
clocking some quality time with<br />
your family or roommates. -<br />

Commercial Model<br />
How long have you been modeling? I started<br />
modelling when I was 17.<br />
Who or what inspired you to start modeling?<br />
Cindy Crawford was my inspiration. Her<br />
beauty, natural curves, smile, and undeniable<br />
sex appeal were characteristics I love about<br />
her.<br />
How would you describe your modeling style?<br />
As Commercial Model, I can adapt to various<br />
mood and styles from fitness, bikinis, tailored<br />
look, lingerie, swimwear, or wedding wear. I<br />
can do it all. I love the diversity of the<br />
photoshoots I do as they give me the<br />
opportunity to showcase my ability to show<br />
different Kate’s [laughs].<br />
What is your most memorable moment as a<br />
model? The most memorable photoshoots are<br />
ones where everything is picture perfect. My<br />
international shoots in Greece are my<br />
favorite.<br />
What are your modeling goals, short-term<br />
and long-term? I would love to feature in<br />
Women Health or Vogue magazine.<br />
What is your sexiest feature? My eyes and my<br />
legs are my best assets; however, I also love<br />
my wide shoulders and strong back.<br />

5 Secrets to a Healthy Lifestyle<br />
It’s never too late to improve your Health and Wellbeing. My top 5 Steps on how you<br />
can quickly and easily bring yourself closer to your goals in no time at all:<br />
#1: Water. Drink minimum 2 L per day. Water plays vital role in our body functions,<br />
it delivers important nutrients to all the cells. Especially muscles, postponing muscle<br />
fatigue, regulates our body temperature, protects body, organs and tissues, helps with<br />
digestion, keep us hydrated, and boosts energy.<br />
#2: Nutrition. Balanced meals are your best friend. Include lean protein, complex<br />
carbohydrates, and good fats. A healthy diet can reduce the risk of some diseases<br />
including heart attack, stroke, some cancers. The right diet can reduce blood pressure<br />
and lower cholesterol.<br />
#3: Keep active. 30 minutes of simple activities: waking, swimming, and riding your<br />
bike are just few ideas that will get your heath rate up, work your muscles, and keep<br />
your brain happy.<br />
#4: Sleep. Imperative for our physical health, but also sleep greatly affects our mental<br />
and emotional well-being. Make sure you get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep every day.<br />
#5: Have a Positive Mental Attitude. Mindset is everything. The healthier and happier<br />
you are mentally, the healthier and happier you are physically and vice versa.

How long have you been modeling?<br />
About 5 years.<br />
Who or what inspired you to start modeling?<br />
My mother was the one who took me to the casting.<br />
Encouraging me by telling me how good I was from the<br />
first moment was what pushed me to do it without<br />
hesitation, even if I would not have ever expected.<br />
How would you describe your style as a model?<br />
I don't really have one style in particular … I'm very<br />
versatile, that's a plus in my favor.<br />
What is your most memorable moment as a model?<br />
It was having a real job with the stylist Kirenia Baro<br />
Sánchez, an example to follow.<br />
What are your modeling goals, short and long term?<br />
I would like to leave my legacy. I am currently a<br />
modeling teacher, and it inspires me a lot to continue<br />
practicing.<br />
