She had just returned from Paris Fashion Week, and marvelled at the coincidence of being appointed ambassador for the brand after previously buying a gift for a friend and a bracelet for herself.
She and her family were scheduled to travel to Tokyo next week to celebrate her birthday among the cherry blossoms.
Today, she was presented with a bracelet with a string of charms representing a "family tree" by Pandora, and Hebe thought it might be the best birthday gift this year.
She would remember this special day whenever she looked at the "family tree".
Hebe then encouraged all women to live for the moment and be brave enough to chase their dreams.
She said that every step would be a learning experience, and a woman must be true to herself and embrace the things she loves.
