Following my dear Eliane's request, I'll post five beauty related things you might not know about me:

1. I used to play tennis, almost gotten to professional level, but than I got bored. Nonetheless, doing sports during my childhood and teenage years left me with great looking behind, nice shins and a strong fist. This means groping me in public transportation is never a good idea.

2. In real life I'm a journalist, among other things. I used to work for a TV station and had shows, interviews and coverings every day, so I learnt to put my makeup on fast and precise, even while driving in a cab. Also, I got used to wear it every day, so now I feel naked when I have no makeup on my face.

3. I can get ready in less than 15 minutes. That is because I try to maintain my closet full of clean clothing and shoes, I manicure and pedicure on regular basis, hair removal is a weekly chore for me. So, all I have to do for any occasion is to shower, put my hair up and my clothes on while make up is never a problem.

4. I have really thick hair. It's so thick my grandma used to 'undercut' it when I was a little girl (she cut off a couple of inches of my hair at the back of my neck) because she could never comb it or make it look decent. Thankfully, now that I got my Rowenta Brush Active I have beautiful, tamed and shiny mane.

5. I too, just like Eliane lost considerable weight during the last year. My success was all thanks to the Atkins principles. I got off sugar and got back the control over my body. Just one thing here: it's even more important to exercise when doing low-carb, or your muscles will suffer.
