She lives in Tel Aviv with her husband and kids and vlogs about beauty, fashion and life with the Bakshis.

She says: "When I was three, I got lost in the mall and they found me at the cosmetics counter," 

“I made aliyah at 19…I wanted to make a new life for myself. I love Israel’s style and warmth.’

I love:

Eating:  Suzanna: sitting on the terrace for a mezze with friends

Nightlife:  Sublet bar, a rooftop bar that’s always buzzing

Outdoors: I head for Tel Aviv’s Banana Drum beach, relaxed and beautiful during the week, and alive with the rhythm of drums on a Friday.

Sight:  It’s got to be the Holon design museum.

Shop: I love browsing the Neve Tzedek area for interior finds -  and for a special treat I head to Mirit Weinstock’s jewellery studio.
