Founder of\u00a0the natural cosmetics company Soi-Bio<\/a>, Sophie Lefebvre is keen to create a beauty range that meets the needs of today’s women, as well as promoting local businesses and entrepreneurs. Bubbly, lively and inspiring, she answered our #Girlboss<\/a> questionnaire!<\/p>\n Are you a early bird\u00a0or a night owl?<\/strong> Morning. It’s not by choice, but because of my two little ones.\u00a0I like to get up with them and be there when they leave for school. It’s a good start to my day! So it depends, but for me, being up at 6 am is being a\u00a0early bird!<\/p>\n What is your favorite item in your wardrobe?<\/strong> Definitely my Louboutin’s! It’s great since I can wear these shoes with anything. Very chic with a dress or casual with jeans.<\/p>\n Who is your\u00a0female role model?<\/strong><\/p>\n My friend, Isabelle. I wonder how she can be\u00a0so organized and succeed in managing everything perfectly. She even finds time to organize the people around her! That’s one of her strengths.\u00a0 To me, she’s a superwoman with real powers. Always beautiful and cheerful. Her\u00a0children have\u00a0good manners, and her house (in fact, all of her houses!) are impeccable. She excels at the office, as well as in her modeling career. She inspires me immensely.<\/p>\n Flats or heels?<\/strong><\/p>\n Flats\u00a0in the daytime and heels in the evening. I make exceptions if the people I am with\u00a0are less than 5 feet. I try to adjust as much as possible to their size since I am tall\u00a0enough. On the other hand, if I go out with good friends, I wear\u00a0my highest heels. My boyfriend and I are almost the same size, and I love our Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise look, so I wear high heels when we go out together.<\/p>\n What makes you smile?<\/strong><\/p>\n Life! I thank life for all that it offers me. I savour every little moment of happiness that comes my way.<\/p>\n In your opinion, what is the hardest thing women have to face in 2018?<\/strong> I am glad to see that things are changing slowly.\u00a0There is always the stereotype of the woman who has to do the dishes, the housekeeping, etc. while the man works and brings the money back home.\u00a0We are more and more free\u00a0to make our own\u00a0life choices. We are the Girlbosses of our destiny.<\/p>\n Pay equity is also a challenge for women. A man who’s going to negotiate a raise with his boss is going to pursue it aggressively, whereas women tend to be afraid. They will bet lower to be sure\u00a0that they get it. It’s a pity, because we work as hard as\u00a0men do.<\/p>\n There is another subject that saddens me immensely, which is violence against women. It’s totally unacceptable. The thing that breaks my heart is genital mutilation. In 2016, more than 200 million women were excised worldwide; 44 million were girls under the age of 15. However, mutilation is illegal in most countries of the world. Many organizations are advocating for its global abolition. It’s a sad reality.<\/p>\n Where would you like to go on your next trip?<\/strong> I don’t like traveling around the world too much. I get homesick. I prefer to have a stable second\u00a0home\u00a0in a destination that I like so that I can go often and for as long as possible (during school breaks\u00a0of course). I’m heading\u00a0to the Bahamas to stay in my new condo. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful island destinations.<\/p>\n
