Très engagée auprès de nombreuses causes humanitaires, Natalia Vodianova assistait le 10 novembre dernier à la soirée caritative Place for Peace Gala organisée par Ella Krasner et l'acteur Forest Whitaker au Banqueting House de Londres. Vêtue d'une longue robe Givenchy noire du printemps-été 2013 en organza de soie, la cover girl du numéro de mars 2012 de Vogue Paris avait accessoirisé ce modèle fluide, jouant délicatement le jeu de la transparence, avec une paire de boucles d'oreilles Star Diamond. Un bijou imaginé par la maison de joaillerie, fondée en 1948 et partenaire de la soirée Place for Peace, composé d'une pluie de diamants blancs ornés de pierres colorées, réveillant l'éclat de ses yeux azur.

The supermodel and the founder of a charity called Naked Heart Foundation, Natali a Vodianova, is also a businesswoman. Vodianova has recently begun investing in several projects with her business partner Timon Afinsky, including the Voir app (which allows users to try out beauty products in virtual reality before buying). Now, the 38-year-old Russian is adding another app to her investment portfolio- Loóna.

The application, designed by Andrew Yanchurevich, Dmitry Doryn, Sergey Gonchar, and Eugene Nevgen, teaches users bedtime rituals that promote a restful night's sleep. Loóna uses three types of relaxation exercises, which in addition to creating a calm mind, can also lead to enhanced creativity and improved mood. Another feature Loóna offers is a catalog of soothing sounds to listen to. The final touch? Guided visualization tracks that help listeners feel safe, comfortable, and calm.

The goal is to establish better sleep habits by controlling screen time before bed, and by using timed sessions that reinforce relaxation, all to encourage better sleep.
