That was never on my radar, traffic stopping. It was never important to me.

I won't give up my day job of design.

For me the question was, do I want my paycheck to be dependent on how other people think I look?

Beauty comes from the inside.

Modeling was another job like some of the other ones I had. Working as a cashier, I delivered newspapers, I worked in a retirement home feeding elderly people. . . so I never stopped and thought about, boy, I'm a successful model.

I feel I'm able to serve my customer by knowing what she or he wants. One of the ways I'm able to do this is through my website, and email: people give me great ideas, tell me what they want, what they don't want. It's really instrumental, and helps me stay in touch with people.

I was not making enough time to take care of me.
