I started practicing Yoga at about 18. I had a friend who was doing it and was incredibly disciplined and meditated all the time.

I sincerely feel that beauty largely comes from within.

Yoga has brought me closer to myself. It's helped me realize the interconnectedness of the mind, body and spirit, in the Buddhist sense of the word.

I love fashion, but I'm not obsessed with it.

I would be very proud to have influenced anyone that I know or don't know to quit smoking.

Going to a fashion show is almost as painful as being in one.

My middle name is Nicole. It's so weird because my mom is from El Salvador, but my sisters and I have Irish names - Christy, Kelly, and Erin. And Christy and Kelly, they're not even girls' names! In Ireland, they're boys' names. And somehow, my mom was in El Salvador dreaming about Shamrocks before we were born.
