Sleeping in late... very very late...

I am very silly – I’ve usually just laughed off most moments considered to be embarrassing.

Favourite role model:
My grandparents. Their stories about life, love, and travel are truly inspiring.

Dream job:
Advertising Executive.

Favourite model icon:
Gisele Bündchen. She always looks fresh, healthy and fit.

Best makeup look:
A barely-there look. I love a bit of bronzer, some mascara and lip gloss.

Worst makeup look:
Accentuating everything: dark eyes, red lips, and heavy coverup. It’s too much.

The Notebook makes me tear up every time.

One of my many pairs of big earrings and a pashmina scarf-wrap (I have one in every colour).

Guilty pleasure food:
Baklava (Greek pastry) and cheesecake.

One makeup item you can’t live without:
Lip balm.

Swim. Unlike most sports/exercises, swimming manipulates all major muscle groups and helps to tone your whole body overall.

Your motto:
“When in doubt, risk it.” (Holbrook Jackson)
