We are often told we can't have brains and beauty, and I really hope that my message is that you can put on that red lip and curl your hair and put on that power dress - you don't have to sacrifice one for the other.

I love all kinds of bread. Whenever I crave junk food, I want salty things like peanuts or potato chips.

My mom was a medical photographer, but on the side, she did a before-and-after glam photography business in the house. She would do makeup and hair - and I was her assistant.

My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet.

Stop saying these negative things about yourself. Look in the mirror and find something about yourself that's positive and celebrate that!
