Gennifer Birnbach 
What did you do or do for work?
I owned a financial planning and employee benefits practice serving individuals and businesses.
How would you describe your style as a teenager?
Platform wearing Hippie meets disco diva. I had a Mexican leather flower embossed shoulder bag and wore two little gemstone rings: a star of saphire and an opal. I also wore a silver MIA bracelet with the name of a Vietnam soldier and had bleached Sun-In hair with wings just like Farrah Fawcett.
How would you describe your style now? Eclectic, colorful, creative! I strive to support small woman owned businesses.
What would you do with a whole day for yourself?
I would do deep water aerobics in a salt water pool surrounded by a garden (my dream house), then I would get a long massage. After relaxing, I would go to a handful of Asian restaurants and pick up my favorite dishes to host a party. I would include my lifelong friends, their partners, and a few strangers unknown to the group. Once everyone left, I would stay up late watching mysteries.
Who gave you the most valuable piece of advice and what was it?
My mom told me to travel after I graduated from college. I spent the summer backpacking through Europe and Morocco with a friend. We stayed with numerous families we met during our travels.
What 3 words would you use to describe how you feel in Alembika?
Beautiful, comfortable and stylish.

The Magic of Dresses
According to energy flow principles, dresses allow our natural life force to move freely through the body and into the earth. Unlike pants, which create a horizontal barrier across the hips, dresses let energy flow downward in its natural direction.
