I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within, and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat.

My parents both worked - my mom was an accountant, and my dad is a builder - and that taught me about having a really strong work ethic, and I respected them a lot for that.

My beauty routine stays the same; I try to be well hydrated and rested. Most importantly, I always try to make a little time for myself!

When you accept and appreciate yourself you can handle any situation with class, dignity and respect.

I'm that person who says, 'No matter what the problem is, there's a solution.' That's the way my brain is wired. If someone says to me, 'Well, that's not possible. It can't happen,' I say, 'Yes it is. I'm going to sit here and show you that it can.'

I have amethyst geodes by my meditation - yoga room and large rose quartz throughout my back garden.

Some sunshine is good for the soul, but I always make sure I wear a big hat.
