If I am not moving I get bored very easily.

Brazilian women are taught to take care of themselves. They start their beauty routine at a young age, which is the key to aging beautifully.

I like to go to the movies or read.

A man needs to be polite, not just to me but to everyone. I watch that. How does he treat the waiter? How does he treat the coat-check girl? How does he treat the driver?

Sometimes my husband will surprise me with flowers for no reason. Unexpected romantic gestures are very important and keep things exciting.

In Brazil, there isn't just one beauty ideal. There's a lot of emphasis on a woman's natural beauty - but of course, Brazilian women love expressing their beauty through makeup.

Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing.
