64 November 2015 www.womanthismonth.com This month we walked in the heels of Heleen Laurisson, communication executive of Havas Worldwide Dubai, to get to know her a little better. last word WHAT IS ON YOUR PERENNIAL TO-DO LIST? To collect memories not things; make every day worth living and make my family proud. BEST COMPLIMENT? A close friend of mine once told me that I was the most stubborn, determined person he’d met. I think he said it out of frustration but, for me, that was the best compliment ever. WHAT IS ON YOUR BUCKET LIST? My bucket list is pages and pages of travel plans and adventures. For example, swim in every ocean, surf in Fiji, snowboard in Whistler, play tennis on Wimbledon centre court, skydive in Dubai or take a roadtrip through the States. LAST ITEM ON YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT? Plane tickets to Vancouver (ticking things off from the bucket list). In Her Shoes WHAT CHEERS YOU UP? I’m usually very easy to cheer up – good company, good music or sunshine. Worst case scenario – a shopping spree or a long run. TYPE OF MUSIC LISTEN TO? My heart beats to a drum & bass rhythm! But I really enjoy beats, electronic and dance music. WHICH ITEM IN YOUR WARDROBE DO YOU WEAR THE MOST? I would love to say designer heels, pencil skirt, minimalistic top and oversized sunglasses. But no, looks like my tennis outfit and the gym gear are the most used items. WHAT IS ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND? A plant, the book To Kill a Mockingbird, photos and a bottle of water. And yes, I have my phone there (at least it’s not under my pillow, right?). BEAUTY SECRET? Positive mind-set and plenty of water and fresh fruits.
