There has only been one motto for me in my life, that is “Let’s bubble it up!” And, that’s exactly what I’ve done! You only have one life, so why not live it to the fullest? I have been lucky enough to have traveled to more than a dozen countries, and, hopefully, I’m not finished. My parents have a philosophy that my sister Devon and I should experience other cultures and customs to understand and appreciate what life is like for others. Now, I’m not an encyclopedia of the world, but I do know a thing or to about the Pyramids of Egypt or Oxford University in England. If I had to travel back in time, I wouldn’t be able to choose which place I would go. Now that’s a challenge! I also know a little about food. My family and I are total “foodies”. We are ready to try something new like raw octopus or the pig thalamus glands called sweet breads. And, to really learn about those foods, you have to make them yourself. Which is what we do. My sister and I are a package deal, what I do, we do it together! We have cooked and baked in numerous hotels and restaurants. Such fun! I can’t say I liked the raw octopus or the sweet breads, but I do love a lot of other wild dishes. I love being able to put art on a plate and still be able to eat it. I get to be creative and artsy, which is what I am. That brings me to fashion. I love to sketch! I could do it all day. I have two books of designs and ideas that just flow through me. Devon and I have fashion drawing contests, and my mother judges, which are buckets of fun. I love styling my outfits. When we are preparing to travel, I begin to pick out my clothes weeks in advance. Putting together outfits and making it work is just what I do. Soccer, tennis and making movies with Devon are just some other hobbies of mine. I live my life to the fullest, and my book of my life isn’t finished yet. I still have a thousand chapters to go. And you never know, I might even have a sequel!
