I love going to work out now. It gets out aggression and my trainer really shakes it up so I don't get bored.
I eat a balanced diet. The secret is to watch your portions, but I also work out a lot. Working out a lot isn't necessary, but I am very active, and my body can endure intense workouts.
I try to work out as much as I can and, of course, eat healthily. Drinking a lot of water, sweating during your work out is good for you, and of course, chasing after your kids!
I have a great tip - I have a jumping rope in the house, and I just do ten minutes of it whenever I can. You don't need to work out for hours, just ten minutes will do.
I'm from San Salvador. It is small compared to Sao Paolo. We are really slow there. People work half a day and then go to the beach. People have time.
Fashion is about good energy. Its about feelings. Thats what I have to give the people, good energy and good feelings.
My best moment was taking the plane when I came to New York. My family was really poor, and we would never have had the money to take a plane.
I like presents that a man has spent time on, doing them himself, like a card or anything that is made by hand and from the heart.
I love Victoria's Secret and the brand, and I'm passionate about Victoria's Secret commercials, too.
Coconut water is just the best for you; it's always something we had in Brazil. Since I was a little girl, I've been drinking it.
I love challenges, I love intensity, and I also like to challenge my mind. Believe it or not, boxing is not only about physical force. You use a lot of concentration; it's really mental.
I love old-fashioned manners, as long as it's not forced. I can tell when it's natural or when someone is just trying to impress me.
If you're nervous, that means you care and you want to give your best.
From my hair to my toes to my nails. Everything's fake. Everything! Even my heart is fake.
