Mother & Daughter: Ruba & Yasmin

Creativity - and a love for Costa Brazil Oils - Runs in the Family.
Spot the resemblance? Listen in as one of our favorite creative directors, Ruba Abu-Nima, introduces us to her daughter Yasmin Leutwyler, on set for our Feel Brazil campaign for Mother's Day.
Meet Ruba & Yasmin
Ruba: This is my daughter, Yasmin. She is a set designer living in New York City, and she's one of my favorite people in the world.
Yasmin: Probably my biggest inspiration is my family. No one inspires me like my parents do.
Ruba: I made her say that. Yeah. You're so great. My special power? I don't give a shit.
Yasmin: My special power is empathy. My goal is to help as many people as often as I can. All the time, all day long. I just want to help everyone around me. So maybe that’s not a special power, but that's my everyday goal.

What makes you smile?
Ruba: Sarcasm makes me smile.
Yasmin: That is without doubt, the answer. Sarcasm does make her smile. My family makes me smile. Nothing brings me more joy than just being with my family. I can be having the worst day, go to my mom's house and just sit there and instantly everything is better.

What's your favorite Costa Brazil product?
Ruba: My favorite product is always an oil because I have very dry skin and there's nothing more luxurious than just a simple oil.
Yasmin: It smells like you spent the day in the sun.
