I love a character that gives me a chance to grow and do something different.

Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.

The man for me is the cherry on the pie. But I'm the pie and my pie is good all by itself. Even if I don't have a cherry.
