Meet Eva

Eva Bogdan, a 50-year-old from Romania with Hungarian roots, is a beautician who has always valued freedom and self-reliance. Her story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and embracing the beauty of aging.

Eva always aimed to prove her capabilities to herself, not to others. In a profession often perceived as competitive, she learned that focusing on her customers and delivering quality work eliminates the need to worry about competition. An unconventional decision to join a network marketing company, driven by a product that improved her health, led her to reinvent herself multiple times. For Eva, giving up was never an option.

One of the biggest lessons Eva learned from her setbacks is that her failures are her own responsibility. This realization, inspired by a powerful quote, reinforced her belief in self-reliance: "Who helps me? Me, myself, and I!" While criticism once hurt and angered her, she now uses it as fuel for self-improvement.

For years, Eva has maintained a morning routine of reading with her coffee, prioritizing personal growth over social media. Dr. Joe Dispenza's "You Are the Placebo," introduced to her by Hungarian mentor Peter Szabo, profoundly inspired her. Though she harbors a secret dream of being an actress, her life has been marked by strength in the face of adversity.

Losing her mother at 13 and growing up with a strict and aggressive alcoholic father shaped Eva into a strong woman. Her challenge was to break the cycle and not follow his example. As she aged, Eva's relationship with time shifted towards quality over quantity. Her profession as a cosmetician allows her to constantly learn and work with both women and men, keeping her mentally and physically fit. As an Aquarius, this constant renewal is essential to her. Turning 50 inspired her to further embrace her femininity, leading her to Best Ager Modelling.
