PERSONALITY
- Your most valued possession?
My sewing machine
- Where can we find you hanging out most?
My room, or car
- One thing you cannot live without?
It would be my glasses because I’m blind as a bat.
- The person/s who inspire you the most?
My parents, as they are helping me in different ways, encouraging me to be wise and sharp.
- Five things you need for survival
Iphone, red lipstick, ring, measuring tape, perfume
- Your dream car?
1957 Cadillac Eldorado in Matte Red
- A typical day in your life?
I wake up and snooze again, then do some work on my laptop. Then I start getting ready. Late afternoon I leave the house to run errands and get home. I have dinner and then I start sewing or whatever I need to work on. Right after that, I fall asleep while watching tv.
- Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I see myself living on an island, owning a few design houses and hiding away designing with me, myself, and an animal sanctuary.
- What is your idea of peace?
Peace within.
- Your goal in life?
To make a tiny difference in the world and to take care of those who helped me while I struggled.
- What random act of kindness did you perform recently?
I don’t consider it as an act of kindness because I feel like everyone helps those in need in their own way. But I do this on a weekly basis where I go around the city and feed stray cats.
- What are 3 things that today has taught you?
- Hard work is a step closer to your goals
- Patience is the key to success in any business
- Be yourself, because people are tired of the seeing the same people/personalities.
- Who in your life deserves a big old thank you?
My sisters
- Have you found your purpose yet?
I have found it, and I’m working towards it every day.
- What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
The craziest thing I have done is probably staying up for three days and pulling mini road trips with friends. It was spontaneous, definitely.
- What is your earliest memory?
It was my earliest and my most embarrassing moment. I was in Austria, about six years old and I fell into a low tank filled with fish. I remember everyone laughing and I was soaking wet while being scared of the fish because I thought they were going to eat me.
- If you wanted to look absolutely great, how would you dress?
I would put on what I feel comfortable in and a nice red lipstick, with a pair of booties (boot heels).
- Who would you most/ least like to be stuck in an elevator with?
If I was stuck in an elevator I would love it to be with Zayn Malik. And I would least likely want to be with Solange Knowles – we all know how that turns out to be.
- If today is the last day- where would you rush to go?
I would go see my last sunset with my family and friends…
- If you could have personally witnessed one event in history, which would it be?
It would have to be the expedition by Charles Darwin to the Galapagos Islands.
- If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?
Chicken Nuggets
- And dessert?
Molten Lava Cake
