When I did the cover of 'Cosmo International,' Turkey picked it up and I got a lot of backlash for it.

My weight fluctuates, like any normal girl, and I have times when I feel insecure.

I like to do designs on the side of my face, or cut out foil stickers from the crafts store and put them on my forehead.

If I'm cooking dinner for my hubby or designing a line or selling on QVC, I try to do it in an authentic way. To speak to people like I want to be spoken to, to be a voice for people who don't have one and to give them things they need and love.

To be able to design for the plus-sized consumer, for me, that's just beyond. It's a dream.

I'm a modern girl, but you should put your husband first. I like to think divorce is not an option.

If I want to wear a long flowing dress, someone will say I'm pregnant.
