Personal Quotes (4)

edit

When I think of the most beautiful women, they're not supermodels.

I'm blessed that I can leave it to the pros at work and red-carpet events, because I can't say I'm adept. Still, I'm definitely not afraid to take chances when it comes to beauty.

Glamour is fun! Spending time to get ready isn't about being fussy; it's about taking care of myself.

I've learned there's nothing wrong with being a little fussy. I used to pride myself on being low-maintenance - I wore it like a badge of honor.
