QUEEN of the HOUSE

“You know what my hidden talent is? I can burp loudly,” Marion Caunter reveals when asked about her special skill. It’s a revelation that would catch many off guard, especially considering her perfectly fashionable and elegant appearance on Instagram feeds. But it’s precisely these unexpected quirks that are endearing about Marion, effortlessly putting others at ease during initial interactions. She exudes a natural warmth and confidence that instantly makes you feel like old friends.

“I constantly remind myself that the way I treat people today will shape how my children treat others in the future,” she shares. “So, I choose to be a nice and empathetic person whenever possible. I love making people feel at ease when they talk to me.”

Caunter, who has come a long way since her poised and charismatic presence from her E! News Asia days, is at the top of her game — holding court as a style icon, beauty entrepreneur and dedicated mother of three.

L’OFFICIEL: How would you describe this current phase of your life?

MARION CAUNTER: I’m loving where I am right now and feeling incredibly thankful. Watching my kids grow into strong individuals fills me with pride. On the business side, Mare is nearing its two-year mark this June. While running a business at this stage of my life brings its challenges, having a fantastic team makes it all worthwhile. I’m grateful for the steady growth we’re experiencing. I’ve found a balance between work and home life that enables me to nurture both my family and my career. After focusing on building a strong family foundation following my marriage, I’m now ready to pursue my own aspirations beyond motherhood. Here’s to seizing the opportunity and making the most of it.
