My Reading Room
BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.

I'm always the same person, just going through different moments.

LOVE THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT YOU.

My fans are like a family to me. They’re a group of devoted people who have been with me for years.

FIND A SIGNATURE LOOK.

Red lipstick and mascara are not for me, so I like to stick to nude, pinky shades for lip glosses and false lashes. When I go on stage, I put on my M.A.C Lipstick in Bit of Bubbly and Eye Shadow in I’m That Chick You Like.

HAVE A SPECIAL THRONE ON STAGE.

Because it’s fun to sit on a bunch of (half) naked guys and treat them like a couch.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

I am extremely blessed to be able to do what I want to do and explore all my interests at this point in my life.

FOCUS ON WHAT TRULY MATTERS.

I have two beautiful, healthy, happy children who light up my life and everything else is just icing on the cake.

INDULGE YOURSELF.

Butterscotch schnapps with hot cocoa is my favourite holiday treat.
