I thought, well, you might see curves there, but that's just a bone - so even if I lose weight that's not going to change anything. That's how I look. That's my shape. Do the math.

I definitely am drawn to deeper reds and wine colors for lips and even cheeks during the holiday.

I'm open to trying new things. That's why I think Birchbox is so awesome! It's something to look forward to and introduces me to something maybe I wouldn't have picked out, but fall in love with.

One of my favourite messages about The Pirate Fairy is that the story is about appreciating your own talents.

I like to look for gifts throughout the year. If I find the perfect item for someone, I put it in my "gift closet" and keep it for the next holiday. But I often get too excited and just give it to them before!

I adore the incredibly tight clothing! My own wardobe's changed - I've streamlined a little bit and definitely learnt from Joan's sleekiness and tailoring.

If my legs are showing, the makeup artist adds a tiny amount of foundation to body lotion and rubs it in.
