Francis Portugal - The Music that Connects Souls

Francis Portugal is much more than a singer and composer. He is a storyteller who transforms experience into melody, memory into song. Born in Portugal, he grew up among fields and vineyards, where he learned that even the silence of the earth carries rhythm. From an early age, he developed the sensitivity of someone who listens to the world with their heart. Despite following medicine as his life mission, it was in music that he discovered his deepest passion. Between consultations and stages, he understood that healing is also about singing — and that the voice can reach places where words cannot. During the time he lived in Brazil, especially in the backlands of Ceará, Francis reconnected with nature, simplicity and the strength of genuine emotions. Inspired by the singing of birds, by longing and reunions, music began to beat even stronger in his soul. Even in the face of challenges and ingratitude, Francis remained true to his essence. His music is a link between the man and the artist he chose to be: a fusion of Portuguese roots with the Brazilian soul. His sound is unique, sensitive and full of identity. Today, Francis Portugal sings what he feels - with truth. His compositions are bridges that bridge distances, touch hearts and transform paths. More than notes and chords, he delivers emotion.

"Do Outro Lado da História", by Aline Del Raso, is a Best Seller on Amazon

Released on May 15, International Family Day, the book "Do Outro Lado da História" quickly won over readers and reached the top of Amazon's Best Sellers list, officially becoming a Best Seller on the same day it was released. The author, Aline Del Raso, is a psychologist and, for years, worked alongside families who were facing the delicate process of dealing with terminal illnesses. Until life put her on the other side: her father was hospitalized and began receiving palliative care. That was when she experienced, firsthand, the experience she had witnessed so many times. With sensitivity and depth, Aline shares memories, reflections and lessons learned, showing that mourning is a journey — and that, no matter how painful it may be, it is possible to get through it with love, courage and transformation.

Mini Influencer and blogger Isabela Divino celebrated her birthday in style at the Mini Spa Infantil, with a Carmed theme

 

Last Thursday (1), digital influencer and blogger Isabela Divino celebrated her 10th birthday at a very special event, a party just for girls.

The party, which took place in the party room of the residential condominium where she lives with her parents, had a Carmed theme. — I wanted something that she is currently experiencing, which in this case is being a Carmed collector.

With a minimalist and sophisticated decoration of the Mini Spa Infantil's full buffet, with soft lights predominating, the environment gained a boho-chic touch that is typical of the blogger.

Among the guests was the influencer Joy's daughter Sarah.

At the end of the event, she gave a Carmed as a souvenir to the guests as a way of thanking them for attending.

Congratulations, Isabela Divino! May the new year be as inspiring as you are to thousands of followers.
