Alice Panțâru, owner of the Lebanese restaurant Four Seasons

1. What are your favorite places to go when you feel the need to renew your wardrobe?

I usually prefer shopping online from www.epantofi.ro, www.bonprix.eu etc., because it is much easier for me than to get to the shops, but when I have a little time, I enjoy going to Marks & Spencer, Zara, Nissa, Peek & Cloppenburg, Guy Laroche or Il Passo when my wardrobe needs a refresh.

2. Everyone has some favorite beauty products. If you were to make a top 5 of them, how would this list look like?

It's difficult for me to make a top five of my favorite products, but if I try to choose, I would say, without hesitation, that it is entirely made up of Alissi Bronte products that I cannot stay without.

3. The house should not be left behind. Where do you get the most interesting accessories for your home?

I always appeal to Ikea (who has lately disappointed me in what concerns the communication with clients), Mobexpert, Zara Home, or www.bonprix.eu, because I know I will find everything I need.

4. Is free time for relaxation or fun? What activities do you choose?

In my free time I prefer to relax at the cinema or at various shows, but I also like to dine in my favorite restaurants.

5. Regarding sports and healthy diet, what rituals do you have and what are your suggestions for us?

I am more and more careful about what I eat and I try to find time, from now and then, to make some physical activity. For me, this also means boosting my mood, besides having positive health benefits.

6. When time does not allow you to prepare all the goodies, what are your favorite restaurants to go at?

For the atmosphere, excellent food and impeccable service, I choose Joseph, Fior di Poesia, Fior di Latte, for the very tasty food, Capriciosa or Argentine from Băneasa Shopping City, for a relaxing meal after a shopping session.

7. Gifts always create unforgettable moments. What are the criteria you choose the right gift for putting a smile on your loved one`s face? What was the last gift you made?

I always think of what suits that person. Generally, for women, I prefer offering perfumes and jewelry, and the last gift given was a Uterque bag.

8. Travel is certainly on everyone's preferences list. What are your favorite holiday destinations?

At the moment, I prefer trips with interesting destinations from a spiritual point of view, especially in Romania, which are organized with guides. I want to discover more of Romania and its beauty and I am not attracted to any destination outside the country.

9. In Romania, we have so many breathtaking places. Where do you choose to go when you want to break your daily routine?

I wish I had time to travel to break the routine, but my schedule is so busy that I cannot afford to do such trips at all. However, I would go to Transfăgărăşan, to Cazanele Dunării, to Maramureş, Sighişoara or to the monasteries in Moldova.

10. What is the last wow gadget that left you a pleasant impression?

I'm not an enthusiastic fan of gadgets, but I can say that my Samsung Galaxy S8 plus surprises me with every photo taken, and it's also useful for promoting the restaurant in social media. The colors are very vivid and harmonious, and the clarity is impeccable.
