WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITY ON THE SWEED TURTLE TRIP?
My highlight was the Turtle Release. It was such a magical and really moving experience. Seeing how small the turtles are and seeing them going to the big wide world, was so touching. Something I'll never forget.
WHAT'S YOUR BEST BEAUTY HACK?
The uglier you go to sleep, the prettier you wake up. Slather on all of those creams, do your slugging and put your hair in the heatless curler. Then you wake up ready for the day and looking fresh and glowy.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT THIS YEAR?
I have been working on a secret project that involves horses. It has been the most challenging thing I've ever done. I can't wait to share more about the project later on this year!
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 3 SWEED PRODUCTS AND WHY?
I love the Eyelash Growth Serum, because it made my lashes so long, thick and healthy. Close contender is the Lash Lift Mascara. It gives you so much definition and length on your lashes. I have it in the dark brown color because I think it's a lot more soft on my face and I really like that. The Miracle Powder is a new discovery for me. It's the perfect base and it gives you the most flawless beautiful skin like finish!
WHAT'S YOUR BEAUTY MOTTO?
That your "beauty comes from within". If you are a happy and kind person, I think your beauty really shines out.
HOW DO YOU STYLE YOUR HAIR?
I use the Maria Nila - Sea Salt Spray! It's incredible. Because when you're in a hot environment like this, it gives you that extra texture and that gorgeous beachy look!
IF YOU WERE A BEAUTY PRODUCT, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?
I would be the Miracle Powder. Because it's easy, clean and practical. It gets the job done, and it's also one of my favorite products!
WHERE'S YOUR HAPPY PLACE?
In the saddle! So the fact that we got to horseback ride on this trip was my dream come true.
WHAT'S YOU FAVORITE DATE NIGHT SPOT?
Dinings in Marylebone, it's very cute and cozy and not very fancy, but the food is SO good!
WHAT PLACES DO YOU LOVE GOING TO ON THE WEEKENDS IN LONDON?
On a Saturday, I love to meet up with my girl friends, we have a walk down the Kings Road, look at the shops and then get brunch at Colbert on Sloan Square.
YOUR FAVORITE SALADS BAR AND PILATES IN LONDON?
This is a takeaway, The Salad Project. It's so good. You get to choose your base and the sides, I just love it! I get it about 3 times a week. I also love a Sunday pilates session at Pilates In The Clouds, which is in Notting Hill.
