Europe is a very different place from my native country of Colombia and my children are growing up in a very urban setting which is nothing like when I was growing up and would be able to play barefoot in the street. But we have a very good life.

In tough economic times, we have to make every dollar count, and studies have shown a return of up to $17 for every dollar invested in early childhood.

You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.

I grew up in Barranquila, Colombia, and I spent most of my childhood dreaming about becoming a singer.

Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.

I think a fragrance is all about sensations and imagery, and can evoke visions, feelings and thoughts.

I love to shake my hips, my hair, and my boobs. It's all about having fun and sharing your spirit with other people.
