My name is Armina Mevlani. Many of you know me from my TV shows, others as the girl who represented Albania in Miss World and some as the Creative Director of a magazine for almost three years, time in which I wrote many articles on fashion and other domains.

The delicate skin reflects the wonderful life you’ve lived, including relaxing time in the sun, the hard work you’ve accomplished with your hands, and time you’ve spent on your phone bonding with friends and family from afar (downside: tech neck).
