OUTER BEAUTY: “I like to play around with my look and change my hairstyle daily. I’m also obsessed with skin care because I don’t like to wear makeup when I’m not working; it’s really nice to have clear skin.”
INNER BEAUTY: “I feel most beautiful when I can just be me. At 25, I’m more at ease with who I am. At this age I feel like, ‘This is me, this is life. I’ve arrived.’ It’s really cool.”
