I come from a country where you don't wear clothes most of the year. Nudity is the most natural state.

I've had two children and no surgery. My body is the result of good genes and a healthy attitude.

I like colourful knickers, but most importantly a great pair of knickers should be taken off with more joy than they were put on.

Being a parent is a huge part of who I am, and of course I share that with other women. I'm not just a business woman. I'm my sons' mother and my husband's wife - although I never post about him on social media because he'd probably divorce me if I did! But I think by showing who I am as a mom and as a business owner, I show other women that we're all balancing those two worlds.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

I'm almost 50, so I obviously don't have the same body that I had when I was 20. But I also don't have the same mindset either, when I was wracked with self-consciousness and insecurity. Now I really appreciate my maturity as a woman, my depth of spirit and soul and my understanding of who I am and what's important to me.

A few pounds show a lot on my body. But it's okay. I believe women look good with a bit of softness to them.
